A few days ago, on an overseas bulletin boardredditA security camera video was published showing a Porsche 911 S/T being evacuated from a fire in Los Angeles.
First of all, we would like to express our heartfelt condolences to all those affected by the fires in Los Angeles. We pray for a speedy recovery and the safety of everyone.
Now, something that has become a hot topic among Porsche owners is the person who rescued his Porsche 911 S/T from his home during the fire.
The Porsche 911 S/T is a very rare limited edition car with only 1,963 units sold worldwide, and even in Japan there are only a few people who are able to get one.
This is a Porsche with a GT3 RS engine and manual transmission.
Because it is a rare Porsche, its value has increased, so it is said that there is value in salvaging the car (it would also help the insurance company). However, what's more, the existence of Tesla has made this 911 S/T rescue story a hot topic.
Although some of the footage is omitted, as time advances, a 911 S/T appears on the left side of the screen and a black Tesla Model Y appears on the right.
It is said that this was because the Tesla, which was in the way inside the garage, was moved to allow the 911 S/T to be evacuated, meaning that "the Tesla was sacrificed to rescue the S/T."
Of course, it's possible that the owner was able to move the S/T first and then come back to rescue the Model Y, but we don't know for sure because there is no information about that.
Many people would think that, considering its value, it would be obvious that the 911 S/T would be more valuable than the Tesla (unless it's a huge mansion, in America it may be worth more than your own home), but the fact that Tesla was mentioned as a comparison still attracted attention.

In any case, we sincerely pray that this unprecedented disaster will end as soon as possible and that all those affected will be able to return to peaceful days.
