but the head-up display is very complete, with augmented reality and has a significantly larger size

Agreed. I’ve rented the Polestar 2 a couple of times from Hertz, and it has this feature already. The car uses Google maps by default (Polestar uses Android Automotive), but you can use CarPlay to put Apple Maps in the instrument cluster.
The UI looks similar but underneath the system now runs Android and the taycan doesn't..
Android Auto and Apple CarPlay (Porsche says 85 percent of its customers use Apple iPhones) are also better integrated now, with the non-Porsche map applications now porting to the driver's instrument cluster for improved visibility.
Cash cow - no need to replace the Macan so soon - is my guess. Also some doubt in Porsche's minds how it might sell with a plan to offer both ICE and EV side by side. Not sure there'll be a stampede in UK for the EV given we have (stupidly) pushes the ICE deadline out to 2035 (previously 2030).
Automotive manufacturers need to make EV's compelling for people to buy, not count on some government legislation to force the sale of EV's. Elon proved it long ago, if you want to sell EV's, you build ones which people want over ICE car. Governments can help by providing incentives for EV manufacturing, purchasing, or charging infrastructure (though don't do it the way Biden administration did it in the USA, which had great intentions, but an opposite effect - nobody, except Tesla, is building out charging infrastructure because Biden administration allocated over a billion in incentives for charging infrastructure two years ago, but are still debating on who will qualify and how, which in turn causes everyone to pause building out DC chargers while they wait to see how they can qualify for a piece of those funds, building now to find out later that you used some non-US-made tech which disqualifies you from getting the incentive would be a bad business decision).
That's an equivalent of a $2,100 discount (7 years x ~$300). You can probably negotiate this kind of discount when buying today.Free for 10 years will be amazing
Who is going to support the PCM6 in Taycan? Cariad seems working on Android automotive OS now. I hope Porsche won't forget their first EV.
Put the 100kwh battery in the Taycan and you get the same range or maybe more at high speed.
Ha, ha, welcome to the 21st century car software conundrum - how long is the manufacturer on the hook to maintain the onboard software? 4 years, 8 years, 10 years, 20 years, 40 years? Nobody knows, and in a lot of circumstances nobody thought about it before they shipped the car out. It's a similar problem as with cell phones, except for 2 major differences:
