Lack of Analog

Lack of Analog
Just had a 2024 Cayenne loaner today with the new all digital display.
The lack of analog tac really takes away from the overall experience. Why Porsche is taking this away from the 911 is beyond me.

Could always mount a gigantic Autometer tach with shift light.

What's so good about analog?
Serious question.
Do people actually know, or are people just following an Internet meme like .... lemmings.

Not saying the 992.1 instrument isn't nice to use, just putting some perspective on this.

Why can't they reconfigure the 992.1 screens on either side? Could a tuner do it? I realize this software is not running in the ECU, but does anyone know if it's hack-able?

I think because Porsche is one of the car companies that partnered with Apple for the new Car Play that is coming out. With the new Car Play you can customize the dash any way you want and the analog tach would hinder that. I prefer all analogue but hey I guess thats all going away. To note, however, VW is bringing back buttons and dials for radio/AC etc because too many people complained the all touchscreen controls. I also find it a pain to go swiping back and forth to change a simple setting while driving.

I'm ok with just digital...if it wasn't redundant and mimicking analog, lol....why does everything digital mimic analog dials, that's drives me crazy personally....come up with something new then for gosh sake....

There is no way taking away the analog tach improves the look of the 911. People can argue all they want about why, and eventually everyone will embrace it, because thats what we do. We jump on the bandwagon.
But IMO, having that one powerful piece of analog equipment - staring at you all the time, even when the power was off - is an incredible example of legacy mixed with modern.
