Do you remember how to drive an ICE vehicle?

Holy hell, do I feel you on this one. I take a fair number of calls on my commute and I was looking forward to the reminders. The calendar notifications are befuddling. The only consistent thing is that they are always after the actually meeting has occurred. Sometimes a solid 12 hours later. Sometimes the next morning. I mostly love my Taycan, but on the short list of truly useless is this feature.
Even more befuddling is that some of my Taycan's calendar notifications can timely, so no consistency at all. So strange that Porsche put *some* effort into this but not enough to make it actually work reliably.

The extreme variability in outcomes (i.e., no reminder, relevant reminder, totally flawed reminder) is is an impressive accomplishment regardless of the underlying reason!
Guys, calendars are still a relatively new technology. You’re going to have to give Porsche time to suss this stuff out.

Stick to alpha releases of software if you are impressed by such things :p

Here in the UK automatic gearboxes were really rare when I learned to drive and really inefficient 3-ratio lumps of junk at that, so I had never driven an automatic and most others too.
They are more common now but I think you still don't get a full driving license if you take your driving test in an automatic car and are not licensed to drive a manual, which is probably a sensible safety precaution.
I transitioned to a written diary to a smart phone fairly early on but still just check my day in the one place even though things miraculously appear on my tablet and laptop too.
I hadn't considered my car as a possible recipient of such beneficence!

lol….do the 911 PDK drivers ever try to pass their car off as a manual? Seems like there’s a lot of “it’s not an automatic” folks in that crowd. ?

PDK is clearly automatic, even though a manual over-ride is possible and it is better than most drivers can manage with 3 pedals and an H-pattern shift!
