Spoiler no longer comes up

[omarshahine]

Not sure when this stopped working, but my spoiler never seems to deploy. Tried Normal and Sport, Sport Plus and over 60 mph now spoiler.

I can toggle the spoiler setting and it will come up at the right speed. But then saving the setting toggles it off (but saves all other settings).

I noticed this because I drove to work next to a Macan EV this morning and its' spoiler was up and mine was not.

are you sure you just couldn't see it?
It's very hard to see it deploy out the small rear view
It's much easier to see at the highest level in sport plus

I think I can see when it's up in my rear view mirror. But I didn't realize it has different levels.

I can’t see the spoiler in Sport mode from my normal seating position but I can when in Sport+. It raises higher sooner.

The drive mode, speed and open sunroof effect at which speed and to which height the spoiler raises.

Unfortunately only in German, but this explains it.

Hopefully new info, I was in traffic, and bored, so deployed the spoiler. Then was on a fast road, and noticed my spoiler was fully up, which as we know only happens above 95mph on a test track, but I was only doing 70. Likewise it went down at about 50mph. So basically the manual 'open' seems to be added to the calculation, end result you get to see your spoiler in full extension, at UK normal speeds. No idea what this does to your economy. Maybe someone could try this and confirm.

This first image is the AI generated one that, when you really look at it, you notice the only thing it gets right is the chart background color. Please use the one on the German language image that actually shows what Porsche has documented, and can actually be seen in daily driving.

The AI slop chart makes me irrationally annoyed every time I see it.

so deployed the spoiler.

I don't understand here. You deployed the spoiler manually, and now the spoiler is deployed doesn't seem like a surprising outcome. Actually, the surprising thing is that the spoiler then goes down when you slow down - if I've deployed it manually, I want it to stay up until I turn it off!

Opening the sunroof, or selecting Sport Plus, will have it go fully open and visible in the mirror under 60mph.

Not irrational - the only civilized response to A"I" stupidity is to point it out and tell people to cut it out.
