Strange "cable" in the trunk

[pmas73]

Hi to all,

today I noticed that there was this little "cable" hanging in the trunk area.

Does anyone know what it is?
It seems like paper with a very small metallic cable around it...

I tucked it again where it came from, but I don't really know what it is.


thank you

I thought it looked like an aerial too.

OP - is that a Porsche umbrella? Neat fit in the cable cubby...

I think it's the det cord for Taycan's optional self-destruct feature. Once lit, it gives you about 60 seconds before the car is blown to smithereens. NIST and DoD certified, GDPR compliant, to not leave any personally identifiable information behind. Usually only used by spies, but you can get it off-menu if you know the code. ?

If it's det cord you'll have waaaay less than 60 seconds

It's a slow burning one, plus you don't see the rest of it carefully coiled up under the panels (so that nobody can come and cancel self destruct sequence after it's been initiated)

Ok, I just read your other recent post and you just might be onto something here after all ?

While getting to know my Taycan a little deeper recently, I came across a few of those cords. Below is a picture of of them end-to-end (and a piece of another one). There is more under the
floor cover too.

I wonder if it's some weird EMF countermeasure, or ESD protection.
