Couple tips!
1. Passenger side window only goes up w/ one touch, after it's already half way up!
2. You close the "frunk" by pressing your fist on the Porsche emblem.
3. R on shifter stands for reverse!
4. Couldn't resist numer 3

Actually, having owned a bunch of these front trunked wonders, recommend more that you close the front trunk by pressing a bit below the emblem now. With aluminum hoods, they can't take too much stress, and when once you closed the hood at around the emblem, you shouldn't do it anymore. Personally, I use my knee to close the lid just below the Porsche emblem. Works, and no fingerprints!

Edgy is onto something... I use 2 microfiber towels, quartered; one in each hand and use the palm of my protected hands at the bottom to either side of the emblem. Push till it just clicks in a smooth motion.

Yep - don't use the emblem to close the hood. Here's what the owner's manual says -
Push the lid closed with the palm of your hand
in the area of the lock.
See - something else you didn't know about the car.

The inverse: Having the factory navigation system provides for continuous dynamic updating of the clock without having to intervene. Otherwise, your bursts of speed approaching the speed of light causes the clock to slow down and lose time.

hmmmm - dealer told me to use one hand on either side out toward the edge of the frunk lid - plams down.

WTF. I have the same thing. The dealership replaced the unit under warranty and the second one does the same thing. I agree - it has to do with time shifting at high speeds of travel.

Little known fact: You can mount the spoiler on the hood (or frunk iid) with special mounting bolts that are included so you can watch it going up and down while driving down the highway...

Thanks for the sunroof tip. I was curious why it seemed not to open all the way, I didnt catch it in the manual. Is it in the manual?
I guess you could fit a small asian yogist in the frunk to try the emergency handle . . . might help with the understear.
