Default Seat memory settings #1 issue?

Have you guys ever had issues with seat memory?
Only driver, single key used, 18 way seats.
Recently I've noticed if I get into the car, after I take off, if I press and hold #1, the seat very slightly scoots up by 1 inch or so. I found this odd. I always thought the car should automatically bring you to seat memory #1. But it seems to bring you up, but just shy of seat memory #1.

Is this a normal phenomenon or a programming issue?

For what it's worth I've tried to reset it, by jamming the seat all the way back, front, and reprogramming all 3 buttons to the same position. But this continues to occur.

Mine (2023 TTS Cab) will do the same thing, but it's a very small movement, much less than an inch.

Is it the seat scooting up, or the seat belt snugging you up? My seat belts (driver and passenger) will scrunch the people down a wee bit after hitting a certain speed. I have never touched the seat memory buttons after I get in and am driving.

I suggest doing an experiment, if anyone has the inclination:
  1. Keep a tape measure in the car.
  2. Use a small square of painters tape to mark a spot on your dashboard near the starter and a small spot on the left corner of the driver’s seat (ensuring your leg will not rub it off).
  3. Measure from the spot on the dashboard the spot on your seat and record the measurement.
  4. Every time you sit in the car and the seat nudges, take another measurement.

Let’s see if the seat is really nudging forward a full inch, and if so, is it cumulative?

It could be that the seat moves back when the car is locked and you don’t notice, or it could be some other function of the seat is operating that feels like forward motion.

If the seat is indeed moving forward, you will have some hard data to approach your dealer with.

Anyone planning to get a 911 Hybrid should be thrilled at Porsche's success with electronics.

Loss my bass and treble settings today after months of them holding.

The seat scoots up. Nothing to do with the belt.

I guess I just find it odd. In my experience with diff cars, usually upon driving, the seat automatically brings you FULLY into what memory #1 should be. And if you press #1, nothing will happen, which indicates the memory did the job of bringing you into your programmed, desired driving position.

In my 911, after starting to drive, if I press #1, the seat scoots up, maybe less than an inch, but it for sure moves forward. This makes me feel like there is a seat memory error.

It does make me feel better others are experiencing it too so maybe will just live with it bc I'm sure dealer will say some bull**** like it's normal

Technically, it IS normal because it happens on all the 911s 😂
