On the sports car electric Taycan launch a new software update which adds new functions and others that have been revised or changed. Taycan owners are free to bring their car to the Porsche workshops to update it to Model Year 2023 software.
Porsche Taycan 2023 software update
Depending on the delivery date of the vehicle, owners of a Porsche Taycan can benefit from the free software update which, among other things, includes a increase in the efficiency of the powertrainas well as new features and improvements to the system Porsche Communication Management (PCM)Porsche Connect and assistance systems.
The update includes the ability to unlock individual functions and equipment even after the purchase of the car (Function On Demand, FoD). The ability to update will also be improved over-the-air (OTA) for all Taycan models.
How to install new software update on Taycan?
The Taycan software update is free and can be done at Porsche authorized workshops. The precise extent of the update and the duration of the workshop stop will depend on the specific software status of the Taycan concerned.
The older models will be the ones that will benefit most from the many improvements made and will require more time to install all the new features.
Porsche Taycan 22 kW battery charger as standard
On the Porsche Taycan the 22 kW on-board charger becomes standard and replaces that a 11 kW. The cost of the upgrade on older models is charged to the customer, and can be purchased in the workshop during the software upgrade.
Thanks to a charging capacity of up to 22 kW, the more powerful variant allows one much faster chargingin alternating current, of the battery.
In Europe and North America, the retrofit also includes the activation of the Plug & Charg functione, which allows you to make top-ups and payments in comfort without having to use a card or an app at the authorized top-up points.
As soon as the power cord is plugged in, the Taycan establishes one encrypted communication with the charging station compatible with the Plug & Charge function. The top-up and payment operations are then activated automatically.
Porsche Taycan software update list
- Powerplant – In “Normal” and “Range” driving modes on all-wheel drive models, the front electric motor is almost completely disconnected electrically during partial load operation. During gliding and with the vehicle stationary, the drive torque is absent on both axles. Freewheel operation increases the efficiency of the transmission and increases the vehicle’s driving range. The all-wheel drive indicator is now shown as an energy flow indicator in the center display, which makes it easier to view the running status of the engines. The energy recovery strategy has also been optimized. The automatic recovery setting, for example, is retained even when the driver changes the driving program. Greater convenience for the customer. These improvements affect the Taycan Model Year 2020 and 2021.
- Thermal management – Better air conditioning of the battery, especially in the case of low external temperatures, allows the Taycan to increase the frequency with which it is possible to perform fast recharges at the fast charging points, optimizing it for a greater range of battery states of charge (SoC). Furthermore, the heat dissipated by the electrical components, for example, is exploited even more than before to keep the battery at the optimal operating temperature. In the Taycans belonging to the model year 2020 and 2021², this guarantees greater autonomy and shorter charging times.
- Porsche Communication Management (PCM) and Porsche Connect – New features, a colorful icon layout on the home screen and even greater ease of use are what characterize the model updates in this area. On Taycan model years 2020 and 2021 and until mid-February 2022, the update optimizes the voice control system and integrates the Spotify app. Android Auto is available wirelessly. The charging stations can be filtered and selected in the navigation system based on the charging capacity. Drivers of 2021 Taycan models equipped with a head-up display can expect, among other things, an optimized navigation map display. The displayed contents have been expanded. On all Taycan models prior to Model Year 2023 it is now possible to access the on-board operating instructions also through voice commands.
- Assistance systems – Some systems are now able to support the driver in even more scenarios. ParkAssist sensors operate with a longer range. The search for available parking spaces has also been improved, so much so that smaller spaces are now offered to the driver as an option. These improvements will affect the Taycan Model Year 2020, 2021 and 2022. · Unlocking of functions after vehicle purchase (FoD) – All Taycans starting from Model Year 2020, 2021 and 2022 will now be able to benefit, upon request, from the function of keyless opening (comfort access) of the doors and the tailgate. With the new Model Year, the availability of over-the-air (OTA) software updates has been further expanded.
