So I have looked at as many comments as I can process on the software for the Taycan. First, it is truly an amazing car. My 2021 4S continues to distract me from my ‘09 911S. However the it has taken a while to acclimate to the PCM system. While I have adapted and can operate it, it certainly appears immature.
So last week, I sat in a 2021 Macan with its PCM PCM 5?). More configurable and seems to make a lot more sense. The sales person said the transition for Porsche will be to PCM 6 for all models, which as of now seems like a functional step backward.
So it is my guess that we are in the prototype phase of software for PCM 6.0 and that Porsche is still far from transitioning legac PCM 6.0.
It is my estimate (or I am hoping) that the functions, stability and choices of the previous PCM will be moved to PCM 6 and we will see big improvements (soon?) to the Taycan PCM.
Anyone have any insights into the software improvements of PCM 6?

So if all cars produced after week 36 should have PCM 6.0 then I can tell you tomorrow if that is really the case

That's a great news that indicates the 2022 optimisations would be retrofitted to at least 2021 models.
