Taycan Launch Control Test
 

You already know what's coming...

I remember back in the 70s a guy bought a brand new 930. He totaled it 3/4 of a mile from the dealership on his way home.

Clearly another case of 'sudden unintended acceleration' :)

Wait till they start the Taycan cars and coffee meets!

On the upside, no visible body flex on the Taycan.

Dibs on the fuel line hose.

That Taycan really resented those ICE powered cars taking up both the driveway and the road.. Where was it going to plug in!

Good God! How does that happen?

I thought it was going to hit the house.
Disappointed when it veered right. :rolleyes:

I had to think about that one for a second. LOL

Former Mustang V8 owner?

Just a really stupid driver, likely received a text message and though the gas pedal was the brake pedal. Just like the Audi unintended acceleration debacle.

Bottom line the real issue is: loose nut behind the steering wheel.

So, Glen, what happened to the front end collision sensor?

BTW, I saw one in person last Fri. It's bigger than a Camaro. Good looking but not the best looking car from Porsche.

That guy was Audi 5000 for sure.

Someone call '60 Minutes'.....quick.

I have little doubt if one pushes the go pedal (can't call it the gas pedal) it will go no matter what the sensor sees. I would hope the car responds to driver input over sensors.

Have you ever driven an EV ?
They have massive torque on demand

The driver was facing uphill and gave extra throttle blip like he was driving an ICE.
Car lurched because massive EV torque, and he tried to find the brake.
Instead he found the gas.

Watch the brake lights to see exactly what happened.

I drove a BMW i3 loaner once, but I managed to get it back to the dealer unscathed. I was very proud.

Nothing to see here, Just a Porsche driver practicing to be a Mustang driver but without endangering any crowds :D

My insurance agent is also a personal friend. He says many 'failed brake" accidents are granny stomping on the gas by accident. He had a customer plow into his building doing that.

Nobody could explain why the brakes couldn't stop the car.
Foot on the wrong pedal.

The Slingshot Channel

Sorry for my sour face... but sometimes, even my usually sunny mood suffers.
We got the Taycan Turbo "loaner" on Friday evening, and it is probably a great car. I don't know that yet as charging it is a pain in the behind. The "charger" that comes with it requires a PIN and a PUK (for a charger?) and its manual is as thick as a brick. The 380 Volt cable that came with it does fit into the power plug in my workshop, which has no problems running all my heavy machines (band saw, lathe, mill, ...). But as soon as I connect the Porsche, the RCD pops.
There is a charging station just 500 meters from our house, which was a surprise here in the deep countryside... but of course the connectors don't fit.
There isn't enough juice to reach the next "Hyper Charger", so the normal household power plug (230 V) is the only option. It takes like two days to fill the battery. Connected it yesterday at noon, so this hopefully will give us enough power for ONE short little trip today, before we have to bring the thing back.
This was a horrible experience. I think that eMobility still has a looong way to go. They let the engineers go wild. "A charger that is app controlled and has WiFi connection? How cool is THAT?"
Not cool. I want a car that is easy to fill, not pure frustration and disappointment.

Good fun!
I will never ever get an electric car. To me the essence of driving comes from a combustion engine. I am petrol head not a juice knob.

Juice knobs, great name. I suspect they also won’t be able to idle their electron barge for seven years and decide to get it back on the road in an instant like a gas car.

Questionable use of limited resources these..

I did not know that Mustang badges were a Taycan option.

Are you insane?. Replacing batteries is a lot easier than the insanity of draining bad gas, clogged injectors, dry cylinders, clogged fuel lines, draining gas tanks, etc.

This doesn’t happen in cool dry environments as has been proven here many times.... just recently put my 93 Alltrac back on the road with a new battery and twist of the key...

In other environments you have more to do to properly store...

LOL on DIY guys changing a Taycan battery in the future.

Warranty issue... not our call.

Somewhere, the Pagani punk can exhale a bit.

I've seen two or three now. Yes, it's a decent looking car. If I was a target, I might consider it, but I'm definitely not a target.

I'm pretty sure I could keep from doing what was done in the video.
