Small weird electronics bugs

[trebzz]

Hey everyone, very curious to get your takes on this. I'vehad my J1.2 Taycan for only a month. Just been a dream to drive. Most things in the car are surprisingly smooth and responsive as a former Model 3 owner. However, I've noticed just quite a few weird little bugs and I wonder is this just normal w Porsche or is this something I should take care of?

1) I have comfort access but some door handles def just acting a bit funny. Seems like they can be harder to open or don't lock.
2) typically when I get in the car, the seat moves forward and the car is on, but sometimes I have to push the power button and no idea why sometimes but not others
3) I park the car, leave it, typically I think here I'm forgetting to lock it as old car locked itself, but the rear light strip stays on until I lock the car.

Perhaps some or all of these are user error. I'm relatively savvy with electronics though! Like w the comfort access I have tried toggling the settings and reproducing the issue but it's just randomly sometimes the passenger side rear door doesn't offer up the door handle in the same way and I never see this unless someone is riding back there and points it out.

I do that all the time. I believe both the rear light and the front parking lights stay on after you exit the car, possibly forever, until you lock it. I'm only a newbie on the J1.2 so I don't yet know if it's different, but on my J.1 there were several occasions when a neighbour popped in to tell me my car had its lights left on.

Your passenger side rear door sounds like a hardware issue - assuming you've checked that it's not the setting that only unlocks the driver's door (requiring a second click on the remote to open the others).

Thanks for that! With the locks I have tried both settings but when I have it that all doors should unlock sometimes one passenger rear door doesn’t seem to comply, but I’ve only been able to reproduce it momentarily once. I think maybe also my kids just can’t open the doors well yet ?

Noted on the light strip!

I can confirm 2) happens to me occasionally also. I'm guessing maybe it happens when the car doesn't detect that the key is inside before the door is closed, but it could just be a bug in some software too.

It’s a small thing and doesn’t bother me but just funny after a Tesla that worked flawlessly for 5 years. I’ll happily forgive Porsche though ?

On a CT25
Ad 1) Never had a problem with door not unlocking, but number of times not willing to lock with comfort access, having to walk to some other door handle for it to work.
Ad 2) Yes, the automatic ignition on is happening randomly, not yet clear based on what. Based on manual, it should be with keys inside car and door closed.
Ad 3) With comfort access, the lights and strip stay on some time after locking.

Adding #4: With the Close & lock button on the trunk door, the door sometimes just moves slightly lower, not all the way and the car does not lock. I find some correlation with the car facing a wall with its rear, but not sure what exact conditions need to be met for this to happen.

Adding #5: This is more of a funny harmless bug - when you adjust the volume of navigation in the settings, it turns on the radio.

2) I've never not had the car turn on but sometimes when closing the door the driver's seat either doesn't move at all or only moves part of the way forward, requiring a press of the preset button on the door to get back to my correct driving position. It's mildly annoying but not limited to the Taycan - 2 previous Panameras had the same issue.
