The FOD (functions on demand) options are not available for the MY22 cars yet. Porsche says they are working on them. For now the option needs to be ordered when the car is built.
What's the consensus here... is it worth getting this? I have another month until my build locks.
so where is there a complete list of options? i am wondering now what i might not have and could get at some point. thanks
Not sure what you are asking. The build is on your window sticker or throw the VIN into vinanalytics.
thanks - seems the only item i dont have is the Range Manager!
I tried it - it annoyed me. I’ve found the default charge planner in the PCM to be quite good.
It is not very expensive but not very good either. Marginally worth having because of the battery preheating ahead of a primmed charging stop.
If that's true, I definitely want it. AFAIK, all Taycan perform the preheating when navigating to a high power charger.
For DC chargers >=50 kW the pre-heat will take place (you may not necessarily notice depending on how warm your battery already is) and the process will be transparent to you. Either navigate to the charge point as your destination or add as a stopover - key thing to note is that NAV must recognise as an actual charging location. If it does it will provide details of the charging facility, select it and you're good to go.
My understanding was that the car does this by default and that if you select a DC charger as the destination in the Porsche factory navigation the car will preheat the battery en route without needing the PIRM option. Is that not correct? I don’t have PIRM (it is available for me as a FOD) and the couple of times I have navigated to a fast charger (I typically only charge at home and don’t do long road trips) I “think” it was preheating the battery en route (unless that was just coincidence and dictated by my driving style at the time?).
