Random Precooling/heating

[Gogs]

Anyone experiencing the car deciding to precool/heat? Just had a connect notification that my car has completed precooling! Definitely not setup a timer for that! Car in unplugged in the driveway... mmm

Yeah, I get the same random messages too.

Have you reported it yet? I also got a message about park assist? What the ell is that on a Taycan.

I get the random precooling alerts too. But precooling is turned off. Just put it down to software glitches ....

Park assist warns you if you get too close to a car in the front or the rear (usually while parking)...

Brought car to dealer to have clear bra installed, and they "stored" the car in the showroom. A few days later, when I approached (but did not open the doors), the car came to life and the A/C automatically began to cool the car to the temperature I had previously set (70 deg F).

I assume there is a "proximity feature" that begins heating/cooling when you approach the car before you get into it? Is it possible the "random cooling" people are reporting is actually caused by "walking by" and the car thinking you will want to get in to a cool car?

Anyone read about this and if it is related to the pre-cool function available on the Porsche Connect App which I used when I parked in the 100 degree grocery store lot then returned to my 70 degree cooled car after shopping. So nice!

And as a note, let's be sure not to confuse the BATTERY cooling/heating function (to optimize/minimize charging time) with CABIN cooling/heating.

It's in your settings (AC menu).
The car starts cooling/warming when you unlock the car (or close to it).
You can uncheck it.

Can it be the ”Intelligent Pre-heat/cool” feature that is supposed to learn your driving behavior and cleverly cool or heat the car accordingly? Mine believed that I always drive around 15:00 and was pleasantly cool at that time the first few days of ownership. I think it also learns your location, which would explain cooling at the Porsche store

In that case, mine is retarded.

I guess it must be. I turned the function off and it hasn’t done it since. So I’ll turn back in. Quite cool if it works, which to be fair it sounds like it does.
