The tyres are too wide. It happens all the time if a performance car drives too fast on wet roads.It's a Porshe Taycan all electric supposed to have all the latest anti skid traction control. So what the fark happened?
EVs cannot drive one la. Whole car so farking heavy and wear tyres 50% faster as ICE cars plus too dependent on electronics once fail GG already.
It has AWD, so either driver is very sotong or the drive train, traction control is faulty.破车 no abs? No 4 wheel drive?
Its a tyre width problem. Porsches are designed for roads with no equatorial thunderstorm. Its tyres grip like crazy on dry tarmac. But floats on water when wet. No electronics can save you when car is afloat.He was driving normally but lost traction. If proven nothing wrong with maintenance then he may have a case against Porsche for design failure
Use those au phiow Tyres...to save $$$$?破车 no abs? No 4 wheel drive?
I used to drive a car with awd plus abs on 275 wide tyres. When it rains, it is stressful to drive. Car will be drifting eveywhere.破车 no abs? No 4 wheel drive?

Changed to 255 and problem sorted out.

I thought it's the tyre groves that prevent water planing on wet surfaces.. F1 cars have super wide but botak tyres and they are in trouble whenever the track is wet.Its a tyre width problem.

Al tyres sold locally should be designed for wet tracks. But its just insufficient to disperse all that pool of water on the road. Your car will be floating around in heavy downpour. Or when it hits a pool of water. Wide tyres looks good though.I thought it's the tyre groves that prevent water planing on wet surfaces..

The reason I wrote it could be design flaw was because a popular 90s model RWD Saab turbo had a record of spinning out while cornering. It was later determined its weight distribution was the problem. I think there was a class action suit
