Porsche Taycan whoopsie

[RJ]

Do the brake lights stay on when the hill holder is operating but the driver has taken his/her/72options foot off the pedal?

I’m not sure, to be honest. Good question. All I could find in my “Good to know” eManual is below. It activates at 5%, apparently. I’d guess the Taycan’s system is similar.

Googled and found a PDF. Still doesn't say whether the brake lights are activated when the HOLD function is working...

Operating principle
The HOLD function assists the driver when stopping
and driving off on upward slopes. The vehicle is automatically
prevented from rolling back away from
the desired direction of travel.
When the HOLD function is active, the indicator
light on the instrument cluster comes on.
When Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is operating
normally, the HOLD function actively holds the vehicle
at a standstill following automatic braking.
If the driver seat belt is unfastened and the driver
door is opened while the HOLD function is active, the
parking lock and parking brake are activated
automatically.

If the vehicle is held on an upward slope, you can
drive off in the usual way.

Activating the HOLD function

• Drive position D or R selected.
• Press the brake pedal until the vehicle comes to
  a standstill.

The HOLD function is activated. The vehicle is held
stationary even without pressing the brake pedal.

...but apparently, that is how it works, at least on a UK-spec Macan:

A couple years ago something like this happened and an actor got squished by his own car and died.
