Is the “Coming/leaving home light function” standard on the Turbo?

[masmole]

or do you really have to order the $890 Glacier blue or Black light strip option just to get the coming/leaving home light animation?

It’s a bit confusing to me because while this option description highlights this animated light functionality for coming/leaving home, it also says “Note: Identical form and function to standard taillights” which to me suggests the same coming/leaving home functionality with only difference being the blue or black color of the PORSCHE lettering on the light strip.

You may be confusing two different functions:

One is just your usual Coming Home function that is standard (translation is not great):

The other function is animation of the light bar that is only available if you upgrade to Black or Glacier, that is in addition to the above lights on for a period of time standard function.

What adds to the confusion for me is that the Turbo already comes with black PORSCHE lettering on the light strip as standard. So instead of the option being named “Light Strip with PORSCHE Logo in Black $890” I feel it should be named “Coming/Leaving light strip animation…” because that’s the real differentiator and the only differentiator if you choose the black one for a Turbo build.

Anyhow, thanks for clearing that up. I will make sure to check that box on my build.

I agree, it is confusing, but these are 2 separate things if you dig into it.

Porsche logo in Black is standard on a Turbo, which is just the text, but no other modification to the light bar itself.

However, what you are paying Exclusive Mfg department $890 for is the Circuit board graphics inside the light in Black and that animation.

Coming home function is standard on all Porsches.

The option for animation on the rear light bar comes when you option the rear illuminated logo.

You are confusing this with the 2025 Taycan. Macan EV does not have illuminated logo, yet, as seen below.

And these animations are really cool…

My understanding as well. I’ve not seen an Macan’s with that option delivered online / in person / on road etc. only Taycans

I have this on my Taycan. Letters light up when the parking lights or headlights are on. The welcome and good bye is just the animation the goes from center out or outside back to center. On the Macan, it does the same for the taillights but the lettering is black. I almost optioned this but preferred the stand out lettering.

You’ll see it in action in this video.

Some say tacky... you bought a Porsche not an Audi!

Everyone has personal choices and likes in many options that Porsche offers.
That's cool...
