What 90 owners told NHTSA about the 2020 Porsche Taycan Turbo S

The rear view camera on all Taycan models and years are unsafe and unusable as they are so wide angled that you can not reliably use them as it is almost impossible to see anything.

The backup camera is highly distorted and it is difficult to see what is in the distance (more than 10 ft) from the rear of the car. I have had multiple incidents where I almost hit someone who was walking up the street past my driveway entrance. The other problem is when you turn the backup camera turns, and there is no frame of reference left so it is extremely distorted and hard to figure out where things are at. I have a Mercedes GLS450 and the backup cameras clearly show the street at the end of our driveway. I've attached comparison views of the street from our garage using the Porsche and Mercedes cameras. This backup camera is hazardous to the safety of anyone walking across the backup path of this car, and this issue needs to be addressed immediately. There is just no excuse to have such a poor quality camera on any car. By the way this car cost $50,000 more than my Mercedes!!
