- 2023 Taycan TCT, 2024 Q8 eTron P+
As far as you've been told, when was this regional lock implemented for Taycans?Porsche uses the same ECUs, etc., globally. The hardware is the same everywhere. This issue is more if they instituted regional locks in their hardware code. So say if one ECU for, say, motor management is running the NA region, other ECUs (for, say, ACC or Matrix lights) will not switch to Europe for the region since PIWIS sees the NA region set in other ECUs. At least, that is something my embedded software dev friends would tell me the way to write software for hardware.
Maybe dealer is having easy time doing that on 911s and Panameras cause ECUs there aren't region locked. Taycans are a heck of a lot more software-dependent, so I would assume region lock is more likely.
