Here’s the interesting bit…
“A preliminary investigation revealed that the blaze had been triggered by a short circuit in the electric vehicle's engine.

This generated sparks, which started a fire that quickly spread throughout the motor at the hectic junction before it exploded.”

I’m no certified fire investigator but that just sounds and looks odd. Looks like someone just dumped some gas under the car and lit it.

Let’s get to the bottom of this.

It was an added-cost option on my build, but I chose PDCC and PSCB instead.

Well, that person should clearly answer “My Taycan is sometimes on fire.”

That’s going to hurt resale. I almost bought a used Taycan, but passed because it wasn’t on fire.

I don’t think I’ve posted this before, but have you guys ever seen a hydraulic oil fire?

I think I first saw this in a risk assessment training class.



30 seconds in, a guy I was watching with commented “Now the roof is just being dramatic.”

That guy retrieved his phone in time, though - training kicked in.

I dunno, but based on your own poll, that severely limits your choices. If, say, you were to consider a used Taycan not on fire, you may have more options.

I need to add a new poll option for “less often than the 911”.

911 was spewing smoke and a burning smell last night. Cause yet to be determined.

Back to driving the Taycan for now due to its lack of smoke and burning smell.

There’s always something very effortless about the Taycan every time I go back to driving it.

It's the E-Power...it's so efficient and with so much less drama than creating thousands of controlled explosions per second.
