Correct, a much better solution particularly w/ such easy access via always on cigarette lighter ports in the 9x6 and 9x7 platforms.

FWIW, newer Porsches automatically provide a lovely CEL / 'Visit Workshop' message whenever the battery is disconnected. Also FWIW, power ports go inactive after ~ 10 days or so on the newer cars UNLESS vehicle is locked. Yes, a bit counterintuitive to not wanting to be locked out theory if battery goes flat. But obviously countless German engineers studied this endlessly and found their solution much preferred

Would be awesome if Porsche adopted a magnetic charge port a la Ferrari 488 or a Mac.

Good luck
