Yes the 992.2s have a cigarette-lighter style plug underneath the glovebox. I keep my NOCO Genius5 maintainer plugged in there. Heads up, you need to follow this order with a maintainer or the car will turn off the plug after ~30 minutes and your charging will stop. I had to make this little sign for the garage wall to remind me of the order:
I'd also strongly recommend a more powerful charger you actually clip to the battery under the hood once in a while, not just a maintainer. I got an Antigravity SC-10 (10 Amp) charger + maintainer and found that despite plenty of driving and frequent maintainer use with my NOCO Genius5, my batteries on both my P-cars were low and still accepted quite a bit of charge with the 10 Amp charger. Note: the GTS evidently has a lithium battery under the hood, while the base uses an AGM battery. The chargers/maintainers MUST be set to the proper battery type.
Thanks for the response. I dealer acted like ir was a female 120v plug under the hood. Thank you for info, looking forward to picking up the new ride.
I'm not sure if this is something new for the 992.2 models, but there's an icon in some of the dashboards that show the current state of the 12V battery. This is how it looks on mine...
This could be useful in knowing when to hook up the trickle charger to your car (assuming the car can be started up).

I watch this voltage meter often on my 992.2, and Cayenne's PCM. It'll vary a lot throughout startup and drives. I don't think it can accurately test the battery voltage while the car's systems are still charging/discharging them. The only real way to test your battery is a battery tester on the terminals when the car is off. I know for the AGM batteries the target voltage they should output is 12.8v. I do not know if this is the same for the Lithium battery in the GTS.
Picked up my car earlier today. So far so good, but I did get one phantom error message about the stability control system on a spirited lane change attempt. I think it was related to the traction control system.
Message persisted until I parked and came back to the car later.
It's like the error messages etc may be extra sensitive for some reason maybe because of the low miles or because of the new system not sure but everything is clear now.
Also I noticed the hybrid battery (I'm assuming) charges up to full when in sport plus, but stays around half full in Normal mode and slightly above half in Sport mode. So maybe this is not the charge of the battery but maybe it is the battery boost involvement or something. Yea I know I need to read the manual.
Well add me to the list of 992.2 GTS issue cars. On my drive home today from picking it up, got the dreaded orange engine power reduced, take to dealer error. Car has 80 miles on it, most of which were put on by the dealer taking it back/forth to the PPF/tint shop. Was in Sport Plus driving it home when error threw. Thankfully the other dealer in town is open and had service appointments tomorrow. At least I can get someone to see what the issue is. Will update when I learn more tomorrow.
For a car that cost more than the first condo my wife and I lived in, I expect better...

Man sorry to hear about that.
Will be interesting to see if it clears itself when you fire the car up tomorrow. I'm thinking a lot of overly sensitive computer errors. First year Revueltos were having similar issues but they finally got worked out by the time the 2nd year cars came around but the first year folks had to get software updates etc.
once the car is in limp mode, it stays in limp mode. only porsche workshop with the new online piwis can reset this error anymore. you even can't clear the error by yourself via obd2 without porsche authorisation.

My car went into a mode where it locked me out of Sport and Sport Plus mode but I could drive it in Normal mode. Didn't try to take it past 5,000 RPMs but it did say to take it to the porsche workshop. Not sure what mode that is, but I didnt have to take it to the dealership. It cleared itself after letting the car sit a few hours.
limp mode, as far as porsche explained me and i experienced by myself, limits the engine to following:
- no rpm above 3500
- no turbo boost
that means, you can't downshift manual before a corner, when it would reach revs above 3500rpm - it just ignores your input.
and on the motorway it really drives pretty slow, because of no active turbo support.
but it does still allow sport, sport plus, valved exhaust etc.
to remove limp mode, workshop has to do clear the errors with their online piwis.
some standard 'uncritical' errors, go away after car shuts down itself or by key - but unfortunate mine went always into limp mode...

This is what I am experiencing. Hopefully will get some answers this morning.
as far i have monitored till now, i think this error pulls trough all delivered 992.2 gts.
are there any 992.2 gts owners around, who didn't had the limp error yet?
I've driven about 450kms and I haven't had any error messages or limp mode yet, but I've only driven the car in normal mode so far. I'll try out Sport mode once I've broken in the car.
