Guess it was my time - 12v is dead

[RexRemus]

While this is a relatively minor thing to deal with now, WHERE it happened is the real issue. It's going to be an absolute nightmare to try and get this serviced.

The garage at my place is entirely unreachable for any flatbed to tow. The garage it's in it barely squeaks into and the drink area is inaccessible.

I am hoping it can be jumped from the rear well enough to let it back out a bit and have mobile service replace the 12v bits - but if that doesn't work this is going to get ugly, quickly

Any idea how old (date of manufacture) of your batteries are? Just curious as mine are coming up on 2 years

I'm actually in an entirely different state at the moment so this was absolute perfection for the worst possible time and place to happen. I can't check the actual devices but I can say this was a June 2023 build for what that's worth

Man, I’m sorry.

Mobile service only needs to get into the driver door and front hood to replace the 12v.

Front hood almost entirely inaccessible. There's no way to get the tub out of the frunk where it currently is

This doesn't always mean it can't be driven. As long as the battery doesn't have an internal short, it should be fine.

Not even a year....awesome

What's the mileage???

 

[R1Sky Business]

Any low 12v warning signs????

3,400

I work from home. Barely drive it aside from weekend trips

Nothing. I did apply the new software update last night. So in that timing is a bit suspect. Otherwise, literally nothing

I hope this is the case

I would be shocked if it doesn't drive, unless it sits for another week unattended. Typically, it's a warning prior to complete failure of the batter(ies)

How is this still happening with the 12V batteries? I thought the software update had the computer monitoring the voltage in the 12V to prevent this kind of thing from happening. With massive batteries in our trucks, it seems ridiculous that they would be crippled by 12V batteries dying.
