Smoking Package Cupholder woes?
#16
Its not so much that these cars are bought for cup holders or rear cameras but rather in a car built by people known for how obsessively they engineer things to perfection, these slip ups are not acceptable (not to mention in today’s market conditions in a car with this price point). I would look at it from that lens rather than repeatedly saying no one buys the car for cup holders. If you spend 5 minutes under these cars and have slightly above average academics, you’ll understand that every little thing has been carefully thought through. You simply dont expect Porsche to make these mistakes. They have been clearly overlooked. You, me , or 932 other people in this forum will never look at those outer gauges but still the fact that there are gauges on the instrument cluster that you simply cannot see is a massive oversight. When that cluster was designed, someone should have said something about the inability to see all the information presented on it.
2. Switch to track mode.
3. Switch instruments to track.
4. Drive forward (don't need a camera for that).
It is a track focused car and it is setup as such. The instruments are fine and you don't need a cup holder for the designed purpose. Maybe on a touring...

My post was intended to be a “gentle” chat about the cupholder. That’s all... not to go off on some tangent and certainly not intended for someone to publish thesis that 3-Pedals conjures up. There’s a reason he’s on mine and a bunch of others RL’ers ignore list.
btw, I don’t have any issue with the instrument cluster. It works for me.

I have the Q2M, SL2, SL2-S and a few of the APO Summicron-SL lenses. Just posted a few pics of my TTS on the Turbo board. Good to know I can keep my Q with me when I get the touring without it bouncing around. May have to get the Q3 to get some color, though

Did you read my post? Clearly you have not so let me quote part of my own post:
I dont need you to provide a workaround as I personally would not use the outer gauges or the cup holder. The point here is Porsche doesnt make these types of mistakes. You'd expect this from a Corvette or a Mustang.

I wonder if there are a bunch of us here who are Leica fans. The lenses are spectacular and I just love the versatility of the Q2. Having stated that, the M11 has my serious interest 🧐😋

I am rarely this blunt about an RL member but this one takes the cake.
Nuff said and back on topic.

Yeah - I think you just don't get the drop in cup things.
After receiving the "smoker package," I'm a little ashamed of ordering it. It was "free," but it really has no use for me. I took delivery at my house. After pulling the car into the driveway, I removed the "cup" and tossed it somewhere in the garage. For a GT car, especially a manual, there is really zero benefit I can see for this device.
Also, as far as the cup holder goes, I tossed that too. No way I could drink something in this car the way I drive it...

Yeah, I wish there was a 12v outlet there - makes hooking up air compressor easier, but the footwell outlet works fine.
