Obviously hard to tell, but at this time of year I do tend to suspect tires. Personally I do not rate all season tires for bad snow or storms. I have proper full winter tires on separate rims from November to April for any car that is driven all year.
Looking at the Taycan , these are the most expensive rims available from Porsche, so my guess is no winter tires fitted.

This was my assumption as well. Doubtful they are using those wheels with winters. Add in speed, full torque. Hopefully not summer tires. All assumptions of course. Those mission E wheels are pricey and 21", I like em. There are more expensive ones now with carbon fibre blades.

I have those wheels on my Taycan - definitely tires I would not want to use in the winter! The 305W in the rear is like a pair of tobaggans. I bought a set of 20" winters - it works, but the ground clearance is so low.

Everyone alive so that's a good sign,

He probably lying in the hospital trying to press reset on his controller.
