Got this email today. So far my MY22 4CT has been behaving surprisingly well. Wondering should I do the update or wait it out? Anyone else got the email?

I got the email too. I will wait to have it done with my 2 year service in April to save an extra trip to the dealership.

I'm somewhat puzzled. Doesn't the Taycan have the capability to process over-the-air updates? I set up MY Porsche app to automatically push over-the-air- updates to my Cayenne GTS. Works seamlessly.

Basic updates such as map updates are pushed over the air. The big software updates that affect the mechanical systems of the car require the dealership to connect to the mothership in Germany to download. Some of the updates take 8-9 hours to download and install. To be honest, I would rather have the dealer do those so when things like the PCM bricks (which happened quite often in the past) are the dealer's fault and they have the responsibility to replace it.

My SA basically said this update basically updates every single component in the car. The car will actually revert to a factory fresh style driving experience as a result, it will have to relearn your driving habits etc for calculating estimated range and such

Got that email too and my car is scheduled to go in 03/21 for this update as well as to "fix" two open campaign items that were missing upon delivery....

Well, whatever they did broke my car. I no longer have power outside of basic acceleration. They are opening a case with Atlanta.
