Green bar goes right under accel - left when recuperation occurs.

Thanks. I'll work with my dealer to figure it out. I've got a GTS so I wonder if it's a "new model" related bug.

I expect some kind of power/regen meter going up and down in the orange boxes i drew on the picture.

I lost the large green A. Has to do with headlights? I must have set something? How do I get it back?

I tried all the driving modes and see nothing.
From what I understand it's suppose to show the power and recoup levels as you're driving.

To be able to see recuperation make sure the regeneration mode is on. The default is off on every startup. Of course putting it in sport mode turns it on automatically.

Actually, you'll see the green recoup bar every time you touch the brakes, even with recuperation off, and should see the power bar every time you press the go pedal. The only difference is that you won't automatically get recoup when you lift off the go pedal, you'll coast (which is probably more efficient anyway). Really isn't any equivalent to Tesla one-pedal driving, more like mild engine breaking with recoup if it is turned on or in Sport/Sport Plus mode.

you really need to take your manual, sit in the car and learn the functions and various settings of the car

Default Annoying reflection: 2020 Taycan 4S

I get an extremely annoying reflection from the dash onto the drivers side mirror. This is when the sun is directly overhead during most of the day.

I've got a 2020 Taycan 4S. I agree it takes awhile for the Sirius to "boot up." I also have the problem that with certain stations, even when booted up, there is no sound. I have to switch channels and go back to the channel to get it to play.

I have the shortcut button programmed to the homelink, but it doesn't work with the cameras on. The other annoying feature is that I have to manually turn off the homelink screen when I move away from thelocation I use the homelink. However, I assume that this is related to the geopositioning function of the homelink auto-on feature. Still annoying though. I guess the fix is to turn of the geopositioning function.

It's a simple question. Maybe I wasn't with the car when I asked the question. Maybe that's why I used the OPs picture as an example. As an aside, I'm an ex teacher. You're the perfect example of someone who should not be educating our children. You can guess where you can stick your manual.

This is precisely the issue I have. However, I don't use the geolocation settings for homelink.

I found the amount of steps needed to use the homelink was too annoying my solution for this was to use the old garage door opener.
my tesla used GPS and when I was under 100 feet from the garage the doors would automatically open.

You can turn off the geopositioning function. I have HomeLink tied to the programmable button on the steering wheel and parking assist tied to the programmable button on the dash since I prefer to have the surround-view/parking assist on a bit earlier than it comes on by itself.

Thanks XLR for the video. Mystery solved. I like the steering low so it was covering it up.
Also this is the opposite of how it was on my panamera hybrid. The indication starts on bottom and moves up.
That's why I didn't even think to look at the top of the gauge.
