Did anyone actually receive the original cupholder, or purely the open square box?
If this is indeed the reason, wonder why Porsche didn't discover it sooner during all the millions of kilometres development testing. :?:Mattrs said:I don't think it was to do with people accidentally doing emergency stops by hitting the Parking brake, but likely eliminated because if it was in place, you'd not actually be able to use the emergency brake in a panic situation.
911UK said:I did ask Porsche GB the why
"the cupholders were switched out due to the potential of inadvertently pressing the parking brake button."
but there is no replacement or solution, your bigger bottle and cups would seem to be the only answer
unless there is a software update that means the parking brake can only be activated when the car is stationary i.e. at 0.00 mph :?:
so it removes this risk when the car is moving, so then can release the cup holders !!
