Ron R & Pacifier: About 10 days ago I was at the local Porsche dealer in West Palm Beach and speaking with a factory rep who happened to be there that day. He was answering my question as to whether there would be OTA capability ala Tesla. He said no, not at this time. He added that Porsche wants the car to come in so they can be sure all goes well with the update. That may be the real motive or maybe not, you never know.
They will eventually have OTA updates. It's very simple to do. It sounds like they just want to take it one step at a time.

YOur can buy the EZ Pass that mounts under the front bumper of your car which I did for my TESLA.....works great and I plan to do that with my TAYCAN.

Arrived in Greenville/Spartanburg/Greer. Hanging out at the BMW Car Club of America headquarters and BMW CCA Foundation.

Filling the Porsche with BMW branded electrons. Mmmm. Tasty.

No update... because one of the readers of this thread (who can identify themselves if they so desire) very generously added my license plate to their Florida Sunpass account. So I didn’t use my Maine toll pass.

Humble and sincere thanks to that person. It was a very kind gesture of the new friendships generated by this community.

Stopped off to visit with Mike Renner on my way out of South Carolina this morning. There aren’t very many people who I’ll just toss my keys to and say, “Go for it. Have fun,” while I sit in the passenger seat. Mike is one of those.

Then a quick drive up to Asheville, North Carolina to visit with my friends John & Beth. Lunch and a lovely walk downtown.

Pre-Dawn start on the road today. Great visit with my friends who were working pretty hard to get me to move to Asheville!

I’m heading towards Reston, VA today.

Forgot to ask when you were here: what camera are you using for all these great shots?

Nothing better than early morning departures especially when the sky has a bit of a personality!

Very interesting since I am 5'8" and 145 lbs and got in and out of the Taycan demo over here and was having the same problem. In fact, I had second thoughts about taking delivery because the back seat was so small as well and some of our friends would have trouble with that small entrance as well. Delivery for me is in April so I am going to gamble and hope it works out at least for me and my wife. We can always use the SUV when we have to pick up friends for dinner,etc. Thanks for much for the chat.......
I felt this way about the Model S, and to lesser extent, the 3.

Those seats in the Taycan tho, probably worth the climb if you can afford it.

Looking forward to the Y!
