The initial tweet has disappeared. Very odd.

It’s not fake news unfortunately! Porsche have commented on this today!
Please provide a link to this information.

Please provide a link to this information.
from the article in electrik


We reached out to Porsche to get more details.

The automaker confirmed to Electrek that they are aware of the incident and that no one was hurt.

At this point, Porsche says that it is too early to speculate about the cause, but they are investigating the situation. A Porsche spokesperson told Electrek that it is the first reported instance of a fire involving a Taycan.

Interesting! It would be somewhat ironic if the basic reason for the fire was a cause unrelated to the electrical system.

I think I am more of the majority here and don't want to see any vehicle burn down, Tesla or Porsche.
It is an enormous purchase and obviously not a video I wanted to see. So, we had the shock video yesterday, then the tweet taken down and they say the user also canceled his twitter account. So......what the F ?

Maybe a Tesla fanboy? Fake news?

In fact, it's totally normal for a International brand to take some precaution.
If this video stays on the internet, it can be really bad for the brand image of Porsche and more especially the brand image of Taycan.
Imagine just one second this video begins viral and no one want to buy a Taycan. How about the resale value ? 6 billions investment of Porsche in this program ?

I'm pretty sure Porsche wants to keep that secret until they have the final word on this story. I trust in Porsche engineers to find out the problem and release a fix if there is any problem.
Keep in mind that Taycan were driven over than 6 millions km and there were no problems at all...

But it's true, at this time, as a futur driver of Taycan, I'm feeling very worried.

Agree about the concern....... I am not a twitter person so I do not understand the dynamics of it but just seems odd that the person also deleted their account ( according to insideEV article )

The initial tweet was written by a "Tesla fanboy", clearly.
he asked for the same media coverage of Tesla's problems.
