In case of emergency

[JimBob]

Watched the video on the Turismo and got me wondering. The guy referred to higher wheel height for river crossings. Probably not a wise idea in an EV. But what happens in case of a severe accident, or driving through a flooded underpass, either of which could happen. Some EV's use pyro charges to separate the high voltage battery from the car. Does anyone know what happens with the Taycan?

I'm not sure if this is what you're asking, but the battery pack is "waterproof".

it’s rarely a good idea to drive any vehicle regardless of drive train through anything flooded - the biggest problem other than submerging portions of the vehicle is that normal road ways flooded hide other obsticles and potentially dangerous items/situations…

I’m thinking the Taycan is probably pretty well sealed, but it’s not something you want to find out the hard way.

Turismo is actually a decent car name.
