I've had this car since November and really love it. But, I am having some electrical issues - would love some thoughts on this:
1. First month, putting the top 'back up' would also put the front and rear windows up (provided you keep pressure on the button). The windows no longer do this - even with repeated attempts. I raise the front and rear windows independently. Any thoughts on this? Kinda frustrating.
2. Having the handles pop-out, unlock the doors - mostly works. I found hitting my fingers under the handle with some authority helps, but I'm not 100%
3. Waving your hand over the Porsche badge to open the frunk. Well, this sometimes works, but even when it does you need to move your hand for a while.
4. My PCM died. Black screen. Brought it in and it was replaced, but I was without a PCM for a month. No radio, nav, CarPlay, homelink, some settings hidden, etc. I was told the 2020's are having PCM issues.
Curious if others are having this pain - I may bring it back in for the convertible top issue.

I recognise the comfort access issues discussed here. Mine appears to have got worse in last week. Now it takes quite a concerted effort to get the handles to extend when you put your fingers underneath the handle. Frunk has never opened with touch.
this morning, I saw my PCM go cyan for a moment. It recovered within 5 seconds.
I wonder, do we know if the cars are getting over the air updates? It feels like something has changed with my car but it’s been nowhere near a dealer.

vman,
For item #1, I thought there was procedure to reset or sync the windows. I don't have a cab anymore so I'm not certain that the process carried over but could be worth checking. Disconnect the battery or some service (random) would cause my windows/top to get out of wack.

I just picked up my C2S cab today, and I'm already having the window issues similar to what you're describing. When I put the top up, the drivers rear window goes up, but the passenger side window gets stuck and goes back down. The side windows sometimes go up, but not always.
