How do I undertake a launch control start please? Do I put foot on brake and accelerator at the same time and release the brake or stop and press hard on the accelerator?

Put the car in sport or sport plus mode. Push the brake all the way down and then the accelerator all the way down. You will hear two beeps to indicate you are in launch control mode, and then release the brake. Be sure your head is all the way back in the seat! Enjoy!!

And make sure there is nothing in your way for a long way. Obstacles / turns in distant view will be closer than you think sooner than you think.
Definitely waiting until the roads are dry! ?

The car won't put you in a ditch if it is wet. The Taycan is amazing at putting down power in low friction situations. (My street has been a sheet of ice for much of the last two months.) As said above, the car accelerates so hard that you want a lot of space around you and you want to be very aware of your surroundings. That really is the main thing.
