My advisor just told me the software was suspended as well and they are working on installing an updated software (not sure what's the version number)
At the first time they tried the problematic software it didn't initialize, i got the got back there again and then i was told that they will replace the HV control module, after that didn't work they contacted Porsche Engineering and now there seems to be an updated version that they will install today or tomorrow.

I hope this time it's going to work..

Hi All,

A few hours ago, I collected my updated car from the dealership here in Munich. I asked them about the update having been suspended and they confirmed that it had happened and that the reason was that, in some cases, the "old" update seemed to crash the control units, which then needed to be replaced. Apparently, Porsche has already fixed the update, and a fixed version is now being installed in Germany.

I haven't noticed any differences, so far, except for 5G being activated.

Guessing that the update caused problems with some units (some combination of options) but not others. Mine had the major update three weeks ago and for the first time since I owned it (it has previously spent a total of over 8 weeks over 4 visits for software update/repairs), it has been flawless since.

Hope the newest version works for all of you as well as it has for our early, early 2024 Turbo.

Can you check in your service booklet which version they installed?

In the meantime…

I wanted to like the Rivians so much. I have test driven them several times trying to get past the suspension, but hey they are trucks.

At the end of the day I’d much rather have the driving feel of the Macan Turbo over frequent OTA updates. It’s one of those fundamental things for me that no other bells and whistles can make up for.

I wanna love Rivian - they keep preventing me from doing so…
