I watched some videos over the weekend on Tesla's Sentry Mode that captures video when parked and after an incident.
I am wondering what the demand for this is with you all as users (I personally would love this as a free OTA update, but also willing to pay for this as a FOD upgrade as well) on this forum?
Question is, how/what is the best way to lobby Porsche to make this upgrade and add it to the FOD store? If anyone has ideas, I would love to share those and get a movement going.
I hate bringing forward problems without a solution, so here is what I am thinking:
- I start a petition with an online e-signature component (I found an online solution to do this) and collect as many signatures as possible.
- Send it into Porsche to show the demand-side need.
The second step is where I need some support/guidance....even if I set this up and get 90% of current owners to sign this petition, where/who would be the best function-business unit/person that I should send this data into and actually get a response?
I feel we have a unique opportunity here as Porsche's early adopters and they are really missing the boat here to reach out to us and get user feedback on what is working well and what is not, what we would like to see and what will keep us purchasing another Taycan after the one we own has served its lifespan. I thought I would tackle this as the "easiest" improvement they can make (all software) and one that I personally have a high desire to have implemented. Especially with their dashcam being defective and still not having an option for the rear. All the cameras are there already, they just need to hire someone to develop it.
Yes, I realize they have a lot of work that needs to be done on PCM and other software related issues. I am hoping that they can do these in parallel and not in series and if they can be convinced that it will 'pay for itself' with a FOD option and that motivates them, great! Or, if they are feeling altruistic and believe this will increase customer retention and/or sell more new models, awesome! Either way, it is a win-win for us as I hope others feel that this is a much needed option?
Does anyone have the 'inside-track' on the best channel to submit a petition to Porsche and actually have them take this seriously?
