Burning Taycan

[whitex]

All cars will burn in specific circumstances (ICE or EV or Hydrogen or Steam or compressed air). Simply given the market share, ICE cars burn significantly more often. Sometimes the car may even be the source of ignition, which is rare, but even more rare is a car without any damage or forced into some diagnostic mode that overrides warnings which will start a fire. Ok, maybe compressed air cars have a lower chance of being the source of ignition (but I am not sure what electrical systems they have onboard).

Unlikely things happen every month on Earth, people win lotteries with astronomical odds of winning! Heck, people get killed by lightening during sunny weather multiple times a year too!

Honestly, I am fairly confident I have a better chance to dying due to getting hit by lightening (I walk outside every day) than by my Taycan catching on fire. If I was in an accident with the Taycan, I would definitely inspect it (or have it inspected) for damage just in case, as that may be the most likely cause of a fire. I would also pay attention if the Taycan threw any warnings about electrical issues.

The world is not a risk free place. In the US alone, on average more than 2 people get killed by lightening every month! I personally know a family where a 14 year old, who was a star soccer player at his school, never had any health issues, did not wake up one morning (sadly, it was Christmas morning) - it turned out he had a genetic heart defect that was never detected (his death caused his siblings to be screened, one of them had the same defect, so the screening most likely saved their life). Our instinctual human brains are not well suited for the internet. With access to what rare events happen to 8 billion people every day, we inaccurately judge danger by instinct/intuition. Our instincts have evolved for local news only (only your local village, maybe the village nearby). Everyone really needs a crash course in statistics, and in how to interpret global data. A good example of why comes to mind is my own parents refusing for years to use any ride-share services because they once saw a news story about someone who took Uber who got raped and robbed. They finally took Uber last year for the first time because they were in a jam, since then they no longer care about the story they heard years ago, they just say the experience was great.

I will end this post with a statistic most people find surprising - you have a greater chance of dying driving to pick up your lottery prize with winnings greater than $10M, than the chance of winning said lottery. If your drive is farther, even lotteries with grand prize of $1M may qualify too.

Very nice written bro.I will just add that we in Croatia says "statistic is a whore". Again,I asked this question because I never ever so on internet Taycan burns in the fire.Always iz was some Tesla.Later I found some videos and fotos,but I will say also,on 200000 production peaces,that is nothing.Here in Croatia we have very very small number of EV and to me only known EV burning,happened last year on one charger on the highway.It was one Hyundai ionity or kona I think,and whatvis interesting.It was few days on that place,where is much traffic,so lots of people saw that.Because of that it is famous
