How often is your Taycan on fire?

Let’s get to the bottom of this.

Mine is never on fire, but I heard on the Internet that there have been 142,361 Taycan fires to date. So, that means a lot of Taycans are burning, some of them twice.

I voted always on fire… and I’ve got the pictures to prove it.

I prefer mine on fire - extends the range during winter months if I don't have to use battery power to heat the cabin - it's way way way more effective than range mode…

Could this be Porsche’s solution for the defective heater issue?

I have had had a couple of young kids tell me that my car “is fire”. Does that count?

Yes, but I would select “usually on fire” to be safe in your circumstance. We don’t want to confuse everyone here.

I thought about adding “I wish my Taycan was on fire because my heater is broken.”

Being on fire preconditions the battery for fast charging, duh.

I'm kinda used to it.

Where is the "Simultaneously on fire and also not" Option??

Joking aside: I do worry about fires post-collision. Especially when combined with acoustic glas and different door handles.

Each one of these is different from what rescue workers/fire fighters are used to. Combine all three, and I think there's a non-zero probability that all these modern EVs have lower survivability for some class of crashes.

It's not a Taycan only problem, Tesla, Rivian, Lucid all have the trifecta too.

Oops. Clearly, I should have let people select multiple options. The data is junk now. ?‍

I guess will we never know the answer ?.

Mine is red, so it always seems on fire.

Seriously though, it has never been on fire, probably because I was one of the 40% who didn't need a battery replacement to prevent fire.

My car has never on fire, but I have been told it is "sick" by some youths at a car wash. I believe this is a complement.
