Smoke or steam coming from car?

[ktvw]

Had to drive 10-15mins home during a storm with heavy rain, when I got home into my garage I noticed smoke or steam coming out from between the wheel and side fender. Any ideas what this is from or if I need to be concerned? Thanks!

Most likely steam rather than smoke - I'm guessing it was odourless?

Could be steam from the AC evaporation / brake disks / front motor / battery cooling.

Don't think its a pending problem.

Perhaps mention to your dealer but has been reported on this forum before - https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/threads/smoking-steam-when-charging.3725/

Came it from the right side of the car? I had once steam / smoke coming from the right side while fast charging. I immediately stopped charging and later on have asked Porsche to check for errors and the health of the battery itself. No errors found.

If the vehicle components (brakes, front motor, cooling system, charging system) were hot and the rain was fairly cool or cold, one would expect steam. If the car is operation correctly and there are no warnings, probably nothing to worry about.

Monitor and enjoy the car. Can always send a short video if happens again to your Porsche Service Center.
