I read somewhere they use car headlights in cannabis farms as apparently they save energy…

This is a typical TaycanForum thread, lots of spinning over very little verified information.

A google search turns up lots of sites covering this now, and they all mention something to the effect that “an internet Taycan source said the headlights are being stolen for marijuana farms”. Because TaycanForum posts show up for searching nearly anything about Taycan, they are probably referring to earlier in this post. Making the above post a circular reference.

The poster who originally said that probably has no factual basis for the purpose of the thefts, and just because some thefts in 2012 were supposedly for cannabis farming doesn’t make it so now. I’m not saying that isn’t possible, only that this guess is being picked up and repeated and becoming truth, when in fact, it isn’t known.

I think they’re being stolen for replacements by other owners who themselves have their lights stolen, and now they’re all in a vicious cycle that can’t be stopped as those new victims plot their replacement theft! ?

My stomach turned seeing these photos (not my Taycan).

I saw this on YouTube and wanted to know if it was true or not?! I guess so! Such a horrible act!! Very sad

If there were tougher laws around vandalism of vehicles and stealing them - less crime would happen but these criminals just get a slap on the wrist and move onto the next vehicle- this is crazy!

Wow! They were Taycan! Wonder if they called 911.

I have seen a picture of a 911 with wing cut back and both headlights gone too.

Forgive me but for a host of reasons, this looks fake. The cut pieces on driver side are jagged, yet the quarter panel is smooth. The passenger quarter is cut in a strange pattern that does not make any sense. The smooth cuts in the sheet metal had to be done by more than one tool. There are no cut metal pieces anywhere to be seen in or around the vehicle. The connecting sheet metal ribs are not deformed at all. There are no paint deformities that certainly would show with this amount of cutting.

This is not fake. Here is a news report, where these photos were taken from, explaining this. https://www.thesun.ie/motors/12057586/porsche-ripped-apart-headlights-cannabis/

That was a double-header dad joke,

From the Porsche Taycan DK facebook group. Why would anyone bother photoshopping this

Photoshop cannot automatically do stuff like this (would take a top expert dozens of hours in Photoshop drawing in every detail) . Would be some sort of AI, but these pictures are all real.

The fact fenders were cut is actually good. This way insurance will cover it. First gen panameras and earlier cayennes were horrible - headlights were just popping out with things like toilet plunger leaving nothing broken. Insurance companies then refused to cover it because it was cleanly removed part…

So insurance where you live will not cover stolen wheels, as long as the thieves unscrew them and take them off cleanly? How about if your car is cleanly towed away (think of a tow truck as a giant plunger extracting your whole car from the garage, cleanly ).

If the whole car is stolen they will cover it. If wheels, headlights, tail lights, etc are cleanly removed they won’t. People I know just damaged their fenders so they got paid for stollen headlights but before that many claims were voided. Wheel thefts suck most since they are not covered
