Taycan Launch Control Test

[Won]

You already know what's coming...

[GH85Carrera]

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.

[stevej37]

Clearly another case of 'sudden unintended acceleration'

[911 Rod]

Wait till they start the Taycan cars and coffee meets!

[Bob Kontak]

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

[Porsche-O-Phile]

Dibs on the fuel line hose.

[racer]

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

[SiberianDVM]

Good God! How does that happen?

[LEAKYSEALS951]

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

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

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.

[Otter74]

That guy was Audi 5000 for sure.

[stevej37]

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

[Por_sha911]

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.
