Why Porsche’s Taycan Received A 5-Star Crash-Test Rating

The Porsche Taycan received a 5-star crash-test rating from safety expert and consumer information agency Euro NCAP. We broke down the most important results from tests in Euro NCAP’s Adult Occupant, Child Occupant, Vulnerable Road Users, and Safety Assist categories and looked at some improvement areas for the Taycan.

Ah, so I'm not the only one who noticed this. It's called the Vsauce Michael Effect. Instead of adopting a personalized cadence, narrators who are out of their depth will opt for emulating someone with established success.

[@netgeek3010]

He's questioned how it got a 5 star rating with so many marginal calls. That being said without seeing other 5 star rated vehicles in executive class who knows? My take away is that it passed by the slimmest of margins.

Correct! Not fair to compare the decade old startup company to legacy automotive brands that have been around for nearly 100 years because the decade old startup still somehow kicks their ass.

@@LemonsRage Back-pedalling a bit, the brand's definitely not bulletproof, but the fact that a decade old domestic start-up making exclusively EVs is even in the same conversation as BMW, Mercedes, Porsche, etc. is huge.

That's the spirit

[@hilfeichhabmeinemutzeverge4620]

Targeted customers for these two vehicles are completely different. Want a car for the whole family + dog? Go for the Tesla. Married without kids snd enjoy dynamic driving? Go for the Taycan. The Spirit and ethos behind Porsche and Tesla are actually nearly opposites. Tesla is all about the most convenient, cost-effective (self driving) car on the market, designed to take away the task of driving. Meanwhile Porsche’s goal is to build the ultimate sportscar (911) and translate that into their other cars. A Panamera, for example, will handle more like a sportscar than comparable cars in the segment (Audi A7/A8 /S-Class). The typical Porsche buyer wants a car that is fun to drive and adapts to a dynamic driving style.

In Euro Ncap, I noticed that the roof strength of electric vehicles is very good. The roof of the Porsche Taycan was not affected at all, something great from the pole test was very impressive. Is the battery under the vehicle the reason why the electric vehicles have good roof strength? Does the roof security have anything to do with the battery under the vehicle?

[@antoniocampos6627]

One thing to note is this Taycan has a fixed roof instead of the panoramic roof. I also wonder if it would have done the same or worse with the glass roof.

[@geogmz8277]

🗣️ It's supposed to crumple! That's how it takes the forces of the impact and desaccelerate.

[@OldMrSarvy]

yes man,but,the crumple zone has to be stiff because cars can crash at higher speeds then 40mph so if it still has a bit of zone left this means you can survive a crash at higher speed. so please stop missinform people to think that they need to make the crumple zone softer to better protect the rear passanger,because if they did that,the driver might die at a slight higher speed thank you
