Did you recently open the engine lid?

Give it a few minutes (or hours), and check again.
Or, if you're impatient, park your car on a level surface. Make sure engine is off. Open and close engine lid. Then start the engine. Let it idle for about 2 minutes. Turn it off. Wait for about 5-7 minutes. Then start her up again and the e-dip stick should be working.
It's just the system recalibrating itself.

You either need to let it idle for ~30-40 minutes or drive it for a bit. Everything needs to be up to temp and cycle. The time will somewhat vary depending on trim/options which is why everyone has different feedback.
If you have a Porsche capable ECU scan tool, you can force it, but expect that level to somewhat vary from reality once HOT.
There are a couple of other threads on this also if you want to see more feedback.
