So I have a ‘22 4S and my car works perfectly save for Apple CarPlay starting up on its own when I get in. What am I missing that I’d get if Tesla wrote the code? The ability to play Pole Position or Space Invaders on the PCM screen?Porsche with Tesla like software should be the goal for new CEO.
I've had the same experience. Oh, and CarPlay music starts automatically in all of my cars, (Porsche, Acura, Toyota) unless I turn the music off on the phone before shutting down the cars so I'm inclined to believe it is more of a CarPlay "feature" and not something you'd need to worry about in a Tesla in any eventSo I have a ‘22 4S and my car works perfectly save for Apple CarPlay starting up on its own when I get in.

Hard to say now that we are after the fact.Porsche’s valuation fell because of market conditions, not company performance.
If Porsche CEO would see his "no. 1 responsibility" to create shareholder value instead of delivering great driving machines to his customers, he would be a total failure and I certainly would never buy a Porsche again.Porsche IPO went from 100bn Euro valuation vs. 50bn Euro, that's a large chunk of shareholder value lost. His no. 1 responsibility as CEO is to create shareholder value and he failed.
The software is so vital because, in order for Porsche to get the EV segment valuation from investors, software and hardware need to be delivered and comparable to competitors. In Porsche's case, they were not. We are talking about a magnitude of 10's in valuation multiples if Porsche had software ready to go and be competitive, and Macan EV set for 2023.
This EV trend won't last forever and there is a limited window to max out valuations and unfortunately, Porsche wasn't able to. Pity.
We all know Taycan software sucks hard. We can let it pass because of the way it drives, but not every consumer is like posters in Porsche/Taycan forums.
I drove an XPENG over the weekend. Trust me, the Taycan will hold up nicely in value, even with a degraded battery, because nothing in the world drives like it!Yeah, I agree, sorry I misunderstood what you meant.
I'm personally more worried about being on what is effectively gen 1 of mass BEV adoption. I think my car will lose more money to hardware obsolescence than anything else
If the car's software is buggy, the customer has the right to complain. When paying the price of a Taycan, I would expect things to work well. I personally don't care for all the software features of a Tesla but, for example why on earth does the Taycan not use its cameras as dash cam instead of forcing the customer to install one?I dunno, I keep turning my car on everyday and it keeps getting me where I want to go quickly, quietly, and safely in comfort. I think some people just seem to need something to nerd out on and complain about. In the immortal words of Louis CK '...the phone doesn't suck. Your life sucks around the phone...'
No, just no... I think the PCM UI looks much more elegant than Tesla (Specially before they added the color icons).Porsche with Tesla like software should be the goal for new CEO.
The camera use (or lack thereof) as described is not a bug. it's just not a feature that is offered (something one would be able to know prior to purchasing), and has nothing to do with whether or not the software works well.If the car's software is buggy, the customer has the right to complain.

IMO that is a narrow view that works badly some companies.His no. 1 responsibility as CEO is to create shareholder value
Yes, CarPlay starts (almost always) ... but after a whileconnection is (always) lost... then it comes back (after few seconds... up to a minute or two)... or not.... so I could never predict "his" behaviour.So I have a ‘22 4S and my car works perfectly save for Apple CarPlay starting up on its own when I get in.

Valid points. Taking note.IMO that is a narrow view that works badly some companies.
It is an understandable desire if you are a stock market gambler but two good engineering companies here in the UK went to the dogs after they went public and took this attitude.
I happened to know the MD of one of them and he said he went from long term planning and looking after customers and employees to only being able to do things which influenced the share price short term. It didn't last long. This is very bad in a mechanical engineering company IME.
German comanies make good products because they do not take such an extreme view as you IMHO and I am satisfied that the reduction in value of Porsche is mainly due to market forces and the Russia-Ukraine war.
Great reference to the 80s.If Porsche CEO would see his "no. 1 responsibility" to create shareholder value instead of delivering great driving machines to his customers, he would be a total failure and I certainly would never buy a Porsche again.
Remember the shareholder value idiocy of Mercedes in the 80. Almost destroyed the brand and company, and BWM and Audi got big competitors.
And no, the Taycan software is not great and has bugs, but it does not suck hard.
