Hello all.

I recently purchased the Taycan and I'm thrilled with it... except for a few issues that I'm trying to work out. Hope someone knows the answer.

When I back the car up into a parking space, the car seems to jerk and stutter... preventing me from parking. When I turn the parking assist off
(because I think this is what is causing the stutter) the back-up camera also turns off.

It usually happens in the driveway... where I have a slight incline.

All I want to do is park the car, with the camera on... without technological assistance, and without jerking.

Thanks for your help.

2021 Taycan Base and no problems backing it into my garage, I'm going up a very slight incline so I don't know if our situations are similar at all...

I’m curious if anyone has a solution to this as well. I back mine into the garage now up an incline and am having difficulty controlling the speed in a smooth fashion too.
One thing I decided to do was put rubber tire stops on the garage floor so The jerking motion doesn’t blast me into the wall into the back of the garage.

Obviously a different car, but I have had something similar in my Macan. I think it is to do with the hold function (which the Taycan also has). It is a problem if you almost stop - so try reversing a little faster... just don't hit anything!

This seems to have been introduced with one of the latest updates. Reversing was always smooth as expected for me before but now I have this same difficult to control jerking motion.

Is it possible to disable the hold function?

I did a little experimenting today on the backup stuttering... Yes, its probably because of the HOLD feature. If I back up slowly, and not ride the brake so much, the movement of the car is smooth! Its gonna take some practice, but at least I know what the problem is now.

I’ve had no issues at all and just got the latest software patch. I’d check the auto-hold setting, that seems like a decent idea for cause

Same for me and no incline at all. I have an appointment next week and told Porsche about it. Let’s wait and see.

Sounds good keesha. Please let us know what Porsche has to say. Maybe they can also tell us how to disable the HOLD feature (if that's what's causing it).

When I drop it off, I will mention the hold feature. I just reported the bad little "jumps" the car makes when trying to reverse slowly. Curious if they already know about it or even blame it straight on the hold feature. Will definitely update this thread as soon as I get it back. ✌
