it it weren't for the fact that this was likely a drunk/sleepy/high driver, it would be low-key hilarious. I mean, after hitting two cars, the driver calmly stops at the redlight, USES HIS OR HER TURN SIGNAL, before driving away. I swear I heard the driver muttering "D@mned Innodrive"!

Also, imagine what drivers of other cars would do. BMW? No turn signal and crash again on way out. Mustang or Charger? Takeover the intersection and do donuts before crashing into video-taking bystanders and a light pole . . .

Yeah. Not too funny in any case. The webpage for that video says they are searching for information, do they not have the license from that video, or is it as low resolution as it looks online? Which would be... a fail. And not surprising.

Don't like to see Taycans' name trashed around like this. Not good for anyone.

The number of light colored Taycan with Mission-e rims in LA is surprisingly high, but not so high that this person won't be found in a day or two.

I mean, you can't hide that kind of damage for long, especially not on a Taycan.

I can imagine a new thread "Any idea if this is totaled? I hit a very bad pothole . . ."

Either a drunk owner or more probably stolen - will find out eventually I guess.

Or medical emergency . . . might not have even realized that they hit and run immediately if they really were having a serious episode . . . Might find out later that person passed away from heart attack, stroke or something else . . . or more likely were just crunk.

Exactly, this is about as simple as cross referencing the list of owners against cell tower records, and I have a hard time believing they even end up with more than 10 people who were in the area at that time. About the only way he could be less inconspicuous would be driving an Acid Green GTS ST...

This dude is clearly shit-faced...

Well, maybe, but I'm more "impressed" by the fact that the car could drive as fast as it was driving when the front left wheel was not rotating at all!



How far could it have gotten? Couldn't you just follow the gouges in the road?

TDinDC: I was having a bad day at work and reading your posts on this subject totally turned things around. Absolutely hilarious ? ???. Each post building on the previous. I feel I can laugh because no one on the video appeared hurt, except the Taycan of course!

Impressive that the Taycan continued to operate, not throw errors and shut down.

I know, that’s what I said! Next Porsche commercial: “Kommen Sie am Ende einer langen Nacht “wildin’ with the boys” sicher nach Hause (get home safely after a long night of getting crunk with the boys). Gibt es ein besseres Familienauto?” (Is there a better family car)?

Gets you back to your kids so they don't become glue sniffers?

I bet the Police could subpoena the information from Porsche, which Taycan sedan in the LA area, or even California, reported airbag deployment or other errors +/- 30 minutes of the timestamp on the video. Unlikely there have been that many Taycans that crashed during that hour.
