Dont´ think you can connect to a external wifi network..
You pay arround $20/month for 7GB data for the hot spot, wifi-calling and music streaming..

No, it is not possible. The manual says it is possible; but the option to search for a wifi hotspot nearby is not showing up.

Whoa.. Yeah that would not be good having no WIFI connection to home WIFI.
Do any Porsche Taycan folks watch these forums? Can we escalate the issue via a Porsche Support channel?

The LTE cost is based on whatever SIM you put in there, and will vary greatly by country. I just have another line for my family plan, so

What do you need the car connected to WiFi for? It's not going to do OTA, and even if they eventually do, expect maybe one a year, because following actual automotive SPICE process for things...

It's an eSIM now. Porsche Connect is probably still AT&T in the US. It's going to be different in every country how Porsche Connect is billed and handled.

I live in Spain and own a Mercedes E63S. It does do OTA updates of the maps and minor software issues. It informs you when an update has been made. However, all major software updates are done at the dealer and when there are major updates to several systems and controllers, the update software can take up to 6 hours ! Granted, the speed of their connection may be slow. What I am getting to is that major updates should be done at the dealer because they decide whether each sub-system should be upgraded or not, as they have service information with comments from all the network. Aside from that, they must test-drive the vehicle after all major updates that involve any safety-related system. My car has almost 100 controllers with all the extras and functionalities. Today each front seat for instance has its own controller ! Not only for position memory, but also heating and ventilation, lumbar pneumatic support and massage functions for instance. The complexity involved in a modern car is unthinkable ! I hope to offend no one by posting a couple of photos from this machine. Sorry - could be off-topic and hopefully not against rules. I will be keeping this gas guzzler when I receive the Taycan for travelling with lots of luggage and no range anxiety depending on destination. The Taycan will be used for for short weekend trips and for city duties except when needing to haul serious volumes. My Taycan Turbo S is going to be my first Porsche.

What would be the point of this, if you already have a phone that can make calls, access the internet, and stream music to the car?
