991.2 Touring: at standstill gear indicator always shows "1"
In my Touring, when at standstill, the indicator for the selected gear in the tachometer always shows "1", regardless of what gear I actually put in. I found out about this when letting a friend drive the car. He accidentally launched the car in 3rd gear several times because according to the indicator he assumed he was in first gear. Is this some feature I haven't figured out yet, or just an obscure bug?

The easiest fix to this issue, which i have seen before many times, is to not let friends launch your car.

Wait wait wait... so you have to actually know what gear you're in? Like you have to be able to just magically know without the car doing the work for you? WTF that's horrible. Porsche needs to fix this issue ASAP!

There's a gear indicator? Next thing you know they'll install a radio.😂

Okay, so I'm trying to make sense of why there should be a gear indicator when you have a manual transmission. It just seems ridiculously funny, as some of you think as well.
Could it be it is a suggested gear for the task at hand to provide better mileage or performance? I smile as I ask this, but I'm serious, guys.
