Default Taycan quirks and solutions

Now that I have had my Taycan for a month I have encountered a few quirks. I have Google-Ed some solutions and thought it would a great idea to share these and solutions as a community.

Despite these quirks I love the car and look forward to driving it.

Default Homelink

I have noted that the homelink does not work at times when the car is in reverse with the cameras on.

My solution: back up to where I want to be and close the back up cameras and then activate homelink.

Interesting. I use homelink everyday and it has always worked when if in reverse. Camera or no camera.

Same for me, MY 22 Taycan 4S. I've never had HomeLink not work. I do have HomeLink on the programmable button on the steering wheel now, but no issues even in reverse.

Default Boot time

Anyone frustrated with how long satellite radio takes to load? Also, doesn’t stay on media selection after restart.

Have you tried the wireless charger? Almost set my phone on fire. I now only use the USB charger.

I use the button on the dash right hand corner as my homelink shortcut. Sometimes the homelink window won't open. Checked with the dealer. Not a known quirk. Going to get it looked at.

Only used it enough to check that it works.

I don't like the wireless charger in the center console.

The center console is not ergonomic... for lack of better words.

I plan to use the cord to charge.

My car play usually hooks up in 30 seconds or less. On a rare occasion it won't hook up.

It then defaults to media on carplay.

I wish it would default to the last input source.

My top center screen went black the other day. Passenger display frozen.
Tried power off-on. Didn't help. The next day everything was fine and it's been fine since then.

Has anyone got the power meter to work on the center tube?
I tried all the driving modes and see nothing.
From what I understand it's suppose to show the power and recoup levels as you're driving.

3 "circles" view show power/regen. Speedometer in the center with 3 tubes or reduced views. Driving modes don't effect that.

I see the three circles but they are always blank. There is nothing displayed in them as I drive.
I expect some kind of power/regen meter going up and down in the orange boxes i drew on the picture.

What are you seeing as you drive? Other than the numerical speed value changing, nothing else changes for me.
