- Less than a week after running my Tesla's battery down to 0%, I'm now getting alarms from the Battery Management System. The car just shut down completely and will not wake up...I'm locked out of the car because the door locks are electronically controlled! Let's see what's really going on.

It's just amazing how inconvenient a KEY is these days...
Its not high tech enough for the Fanboys. I am surprized teslas use old fashion round wheels. They a so old design. How about yoke wheels like the BS steering yoke?
Not for everyone. My truck uses a real key with no fob, and I like it!
They can even build door handles .
My battery went to zero a few times, but I just jumped it and drove off.
@@kailaniandi so the video is a lie?
I am impressed by the level of complexity and dependency that Tesla has achieved.
Yup. When Ford sold Model Ts, they came with tools so owner could do most engine maintenance repairs. Later, cars stopped being shade-tree projects by early 1980's. That won't change. We fixed our own TVs too. In 1968, greasy me figured I'd always repair my own cars. If it conked out on the road, tools were in trunk. All that ended decades ago.
@@LewdCustomer It depends on how capable or incapable you are.
I have 1984, 2005, 2009, and 2016 vehicles along with a loader, tractors, and several other pieces of machinery.
I work on all of them rather than take them to the parts changers masquerading as mechanics.
I'm really not interested in vehicles that have the same culture of non-reparability that you have with electronic devices. Samsung Apple Etc tightly control access to chips and even some discreet components like an interconnects to prevent people from repairing their equipment rather than throwing it away and buying something new.
Batteries running near flat are going to happen. Having controllers fail because the battery is run near flat neans they're a piss poor fragile design. Having enough controllers fail that the entire car bricks and you can't even open the bloody doors sounds like the kind of under engineered overcomplicated BS that Mercedes-Benz and BMW are famous for.
@@LewdCustomer It didnt for me. I dont own late model scrap.
I have 2011 DTS, I almost purchased Tesla but when I found out that Tesla owns it, and customers don’t own it, or the software so I didn’t get one.
That a huge door stop!
Electric door handles? Blessed is the man that keeps life simple.
Love my shitty car.
So. You are unconscious in your car and the battery is dead because of a car crash. How does the fire and rescue get in to save you. Just askin.

Hey seems like a lot of fun owning these EV's, I'll stick to my V8.
future will be nice when everything is subscribtion based and runs software that wont work unless you pay for it...Electric cars are already going In the direction of not allowing you to fix the car because the high voltage battery is dangerous.
@@-joo3033 Dude, you're behind in your knowledge. Even the ICE cars are being subjected to subscription services. Toyota, starting with its 2018 models, makes the remote start feature a subscription service after 3 years. I've heard talk about other "features" you paid for when buying the car, but have to pay subscription fees to use them. So it's not just the EVs. EVERYONE has to reject buying cars that require this and force manufacturers to do away with this nonsense.
According to electric Jesus , he always owns it and you just pay the bills …
No thanks
@Science Over Feelings Thr CEO of Toyota quit because of electric cars and this new garbage. LoL!! 👏 to him. Honorable man!
v8 or ev the car gods will always demand sacrifice eventually
The identical thing happened to my Model S. Ultimately it needed a new high voltage battery and a low voltage battery. They replaced my high voltage battery with one that had 30 miles less range. They justified it by telling me that the 30 mile reduction was in line with what the average battery degradation for the number of mile I had on my car. But my original battery at the time of needing replacement would charge to 345 miles. It had experienced almost NO degradation. Now it's only 315 miles. I had to just eat the difference. Just to let you know: They won't give you a new battery. They will give you a used one. Also, my seat profile control for my seat no longer works. Very dissatisfied.
When the battery in my car dies I go to the store and buy one. It takes 10 mins to install. I put my key in the door to unlock it, surprisingly even if the battery is dead it will still unlock, I then start the car, with a key by the way, then I go about my business. Sometimes the simplest solution is the best one.
Correct. Gas powered for life👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
thats strange... Ive run my ICE car completely out of fuel on several occasions with zero damage... All it took was $3 worth of fuel to get it to the next fuel stop 15 miles away. And when the battery died completely once, I had a key that would open the trunk, and in the trunk was a cable that when pulled would open the front door. Once when the battery couldn't start the car, to start it I rolled it at walking speed, and popped the clutch in 3rd gear... started the car no problem.
What a sensible car you have
Bet you can’t go 0-60 in 2.9 seconds though!😂
From what I've been seeing on CZcams, electric cars are such a different animal, all batteries and electrical systems. I would get overwhelmed by this so quickly. Good for you that you know about these little tricks and stuff.
Had one, gone back to gas, and have no problems to contend with...
Sheeesh welcome back. 😂
I just sold my 10-year-old diesel truck for $45,000 with 77,000 miles on it. Good luck getting $45 for a 10-year-old EV needing all new batteries!!
So the "emergency pull" is just a standard door handle? LOL
You don't want to treat the emergency pull(EP) as a standard door handle. Using the EP will not engage the electric window to lower the small amount it needs to properly clear the window seal. This can damage the seal, the window, or both. Use the electric release button for normal operation, and reserve the EP for, well, emergencies.
@@shannonlawhorn1674 Bad design is bad design.
@@IntegerOfDoom It's not a bad design if you understand WHY it was designed that way. Recessing the window into the seal reduces drag and wind resistance thus increasing efficiency and extending range.
How old is the car? You really don't need to replace belts on real cars that often.
Going back to horse and buggy seems more efficient😄
Average lifespan of a car 11-13 years
Average lifespan of a horse 20-25 years
I will add this to my "list of problems I never have in a diesel"
Men catch hell. PMS from the wife, BMS from the Tesla, CRS when you get older. What are we supposed to do?
To do a hard reset you need to disconnect the 12v before unplugging the penthouse under the rear seat. If you do not, the 12v keeps powering the systems. Couldn't tell by the editing if this was done.
Anytime you replace your battery, your supposed to disconnect the connection under the seat.
You are correct. I did this off-camera as I was rushed to get this fixed. I'll make a separate video dedicated to swapping batteries in the future, and it will include this step. Thanks!
One has to really question the wisdom of engineering a system that can be damaged by allowing the charge to go so low. If "zero" mean damaging the system, then the system should never allow you to get to that point. Even if it means preemptive shutdown.
Oh, the reality of owning proprietary technology, you can't fix it yourself.
I am NEVER going to buy a Tesla. You convinced me.
When you charged after 0%, how high did you charge it? I've read that the 12v battery charger in the system does not run when the battery is below 20%. So if the 12v battery was low as well, it could go dead, causing the symptoms you had.
Gee, my 2011 Taurus (gas powered of course) never has had any problems. I guess I'm not benefiting from all the modern technology that smart people are embracing.
My 23yr old 7.3 Powerstroke diesel truck started and ran just fine this morning, like every day.
When my battery died, all was not lost. My friends and I pushed the vehicle. I jumped in, slipped the stick into second, let go of the clutch pedal and the engine came to life. Did you try that?
Yes, this will work for my Miata. I've done that a few times over the years.
As a tow truck operator myself, I am curious as the why the rollback driver didn't use your tow hook. The control arms on a Tesla are similar to those of a BMW, easily bent or broken. So I'd only use a recovery J-hook bridle on a Tesla if I can't access the tow hook for some reason or if the car was wrecked for speed reasons to clear the roadway as fast as possible.
When I had my Tesla flatbed towed (for dent repair, the car was drivable) they used the tow hook but fitted a breakaway strap around the front suspension. He explained that they don't trust the tow hook on any vehicle because the manufacturers don't actually certify them to a particular load rating. It's quite common for them to be pulled out the bumper if it fails for any reason, usually damaging the bumper. An old car could be rusted out and you wouldn't know til it snaps.
He said he prefers to winch any vehicle by the suspension arms because they are stronger. I think he was a stickler for safety because he spent 10 minutes arsing around with tow mode so he could winch it on. The guy that returned the car just drove it off (and he said he prefers to drive the car on if it can be driven, but winching is less likely to have the car come off the lorry).
So basically personal preference of the recovery driver, and company policies, plus circumstances. I suspect the company I spoke with would only pull by suspension components if the car was already accident damaged as all the methods they choose are about reducing risk of damage and injury.
Yeah, I didn't like seeing the tow driver not use the built in tow hook...
Those are NOT tow hooks , they are TIE-DOWNS. Hence _why_ the manufacturer does NOT list a "tow
rating" for them. Many , if not most ,
tow companies forbid their operators
from using them WHATSOEVER since
the don't want to chance someone
"shortcutting" & winching with it.
Even when used as "recommended"
restrictions typically include a 15°
MAX. angle of an UNDAMAGED , free
rolling vehicle.
They rip-out frequently due to owners
mis-use , weakening them. That's why
if an operator DOES winch it , they'll
also have a backup strap ( 🤔 hmm ,
so then why even use it if you're going
to the frame anyway 🤷♂️ ? )
Sorry to hear about your car. Great tips on opening the frunk/replacing 12V battery and getting ready for towing. You did everything I would have done. I hope it's not a serious issue.
I don't like that the battery leads were bare. They could touch with vibration while in the cubby. STUPID DESIGN.
@@nononsenseBennett In my car, one of the leads is attached to the plastic cover and separated from the other. They are also unequal length. czcams.com/video/xUOy5uomA7g/video.html
I'm not sorry...he stupidly bought an electric car...
@@gbsailing9436 You don’t know what you’re talking about.
@@gbsailing9436 he bought 2 of them.adding insult to injury. Now he's looking at a $30,000 battery replacement.for running it too low.
A year ago, driving a loaded Model Y, with a roof rack, into a 40 mph headwind, I ran it down to 0%. I was still several miles from a supercharger. Car made it. Charged it normally. No harm done. It was scary, but there is a reserve in the battery after 0%.
If I am not mistaken, there is a hidden buffer of about 20 miles( in normal conditions) after Tesla hits 0%
U must have damaged the 12 volt. Any 12 volt battery that is run down to zero may or may not survive - whether its an ev or ice. Not sure what year ur m3 is but now teslas have lithium ion 12 volt batteries. Suspect urs is lead acid. U mention u ‘accidentally’ ran ur car down. I guess lesson learnt.
You have no idea how much I hate this car... owning feels like a scam or something
@@TheMilokingtotally agree, only absolute morons buy these
I don’t think I would feel comfortable getting trapped inside a car if it caught fire for any reason. Again, this is every reason why I went back to gas cars. With these, there is no issue to contend with.
You do realize that gas is a flammable liquid, and it runs in a combustible engine…right? I’m just playing devils advocate, but I would worry more about a gas car catching fire than an EV. In my Tesla there are emergency door release handles that work even without power. It’s only locked from the outside, not the inside. Thanks for watching!
I know that I had a Tesla and things too can get jammed up in an accident, even though it has an emergency escape switch.
Would you trust an all electric airplane? I sure as hell won’t.
That's a whole lot of hassle just to get back into the damned car. At least the 9-volt battery seemed to release everything and at least let you into the car, but what a nightmare to deal with. Gotta think this would be a warranty issue, too.
Maybe its not so bad to have a manual door...........
When I complete my Electrical Power Engineering degree, I'm going to buy a Tesla.
Did you click the load shed reset button? If not, I'm curious if that would have done the trick. In an aircraft like an AS332-L1 Super Puma for instance, the load shed switch is there to immediately drop unnecessary electrical loads from the aircraft during different electrical emergencies. Part of that process is cutting electricity to different relay contactors that fail "open" to prevent fires and such. Once you're back on the ground and the super wizards have gone over the ship, they flip the switch back to "off". Electricity is restored to the relay contactors, and they close. I can see how pressing that button is ill advised after a crash that has tripped the load shed. Might start yourself a nice chemical fire!🔥🔥 But for an instance like yours where the car just went too low voltage to keep those relay contactors closed, I wonder if the load shed tripped as a fail-safe.
Thanks for the ideas, but no, it was another electrical component that failed that kept the contactor open. Part 2 of this video will explain it all.
Out of curiosity, while in the service menu, did you try hitting the "Clear post crash load shed" option? That stands out to me. Load shedding means it basically turns off a bunch of things to try and keep the electrical system alive. It makes me wonder if it's dropped into a load shedding state when it got down to low battery charge and hasn't been providing power to the 12V since, so it's just been slowly drained.
I did not try this. Maybe it would have let the car run without the PTC heater that failed. Part 2 of this video is out and it explains a bit more about what they found.
@@BecauseTesla Yes. Have now seen part 2. Given that they seem to have found it to be a complete failure of the PTC heater, I'm not convinced what I suggested above would make any difference. At the time I made the comment I was assuming it may have just been a software thing holding that contactor open, but it sounds like it was an actual hardware fault.
@@Streaky100001 Yep, definitely a hardware failure, but I was hoping what you were suggesting is that they could use software to bypass that PTC heater to keep the car running...just without heat. It doesn't sound like Tesla can do this...yet.
🇿🇦
Simple solution...go back to ice vehicles...the older the better. "The good thing is there's no drive belt that needs to be replaced" $12 alternator belt and alternator is probably cheaper than a dc to dc converter module. 😂
Don’t recommend carrying 9 volt battery around in your pocket.
Did that once years ago, shorted against my keys , sure got hot for a while, plus blistering my leg.
No, I don't carry one in my pocket. I had a package of batteries in my garage. I also wouldn't recommend Tesla owners to keep one inside their car. If the car dies, they won't be able to get inside the car to get the 9v to pop the frunk. lol
Interesting how troubleshooting is so different with an EV. The whole door thing seems like a software design flaw.
Or is it?…If your car dies on the side of the road, there is a mechanical lever to let you out of the car. Knowing that the locks are electric, if the cars power is dead, would you rather the default to have your car locked up on the side of the road or unlocked for any passerby to get inside of it? Remember, there’s no power to lock it up before you leave it. I think it’s designed this way for security purposes.
@@BecauseTesla I'll take option 3: the ability to lock/unlock regardless. Remember, he found the main battery still had a 58% charge left in it. And vehicles with electric door locks can still be unlocked manually even if the battery is dead.
I know its not that common, why aren't people keeping their vehicles plugged in at 50-80% charge when not in use. Also never run the battery to zero-equivalent to running a ICE car out of engine oil
I think the conditions for the inverter to close the contactors were not met. Can be that a resistance test is not within limits for example.
Is the 9V battery not a security risk?
No, it only works when the 12v battery is flat.
Just purchased my 2018 model 3 about 4 months ago in love with the car but hate to hear the problems people are having but expected! Please keep us updated on what the issue turns out to be!
Part 2 is out now on my channel! You have to see it to believe it. Congrats on your car! 😎

Those cars are hell to own and operate.
i'll be very interested in hearing what really happened to it and how much it cost to fix after Tesla service take a look at it.
@@theonlysunaz7121 wow... are you still under warranty???
There seems to be this trend to hamstring EV's by adding all these unnecessary high-tech gadgets or "features" that siphon range at best, and leave you stranded (with a bricked car) at worst.
I am sorry she broke brother, all the best wishes with that, keep us posted
Looks like after your battery swap you were still below voltage threshold according to the Service Mode page for the Low Voltage System. Saw mid 11’s for voltage. This would cause HV battery contactor to not close. Thinking you had to pay for a basic 12V battery replacement and hopefully thats all that was wrong with your car.
My daughter had those same warnings last week, same time as you had it happen. We called Tesla and they came out to fix it. Took them less than an hour.
Also, because it's battery-dies week (although I celebrated one week earlier), mine had a HV warning and told me to drive slowly. The message was different. Mine was a battery coolant problem. I brought it to Tesla, and they found mouse droppings up inside the bottom of the car, behind the left rear wheel. They had eaten through a plastic cover and chewed a battery coolant line. Not sure what happened to the rodent, but it took Tesla a few hours to replace the coupling they damaged. No additional damage to the battery, fortunately.
I saw a video where something similar was happening to gas powered cars, I believe in San Francisco. Supposedly, the electrical lines are covered in a soy based plastic, or something like that, and the mice/rates are literally eating it as food! Not sure how you stop that! 😂
My buddy had mice in his Corrina. He thought it was great until one night it burned. Got rid of the mice tho'.
Just as an FYI I had an A Class Mercedes Benz gas powered. In their (MB) infinite wisdom, they coated the coolant pipes in a soy product (insert you climate/green reason here) and one day I came out and opened my trunk. It was carnage, a massive hole in the inner wing plastics and the insides destroyed! I telephoned MB insurance, on the call he said "ahh have you looked in the engine compartment" and I opened it up, yet more carnage and rat shit everywhere! Yup, in winter, the rats love to chew on the coolant pipes, and then go further looking for more yummy soy to eat.
How stupid are some of these woke policies. The car was away for 2 months for repair, then I sold it! I suspect the same is happening with yours and other models on these coolant pipes.
Yeah this guy was more interested in the drama versus actually having a solution. A quick call to Tesla would have been easier than "googling".
You all enjoy these trashcans :)
When you accept electric compromise to mechanic stability and reliance you deserve everything happening to you, Tesla enablers!
What are they going to do to keep all this junk from cluttering the local dumps?
A big thank you for this video. My wife and I were thinking about getting a Tesla, and after seeing the hoops you had to jump through when the battery is depleted has given us pause. I'll be holding off on buying an EV a little longer to let the technology mature a bit.
So anyone making a video telling they ran their car down to zero oil and seized the motor will have you not buy a gas car?!?...
Simple Solution, choose a car whit a fisical real key...
@@jamtap Rather more like not filled with gasoline, then ran it dry
Consider a Bolt instead. They are like a Tesla, but without the unnecessarily complex gizmos of the Teslas....
or maybe instead of basing your whole life off one video of one guy running experiments with some fake stuff sprinkled here and there....make your own choices. Teslas are extremely reliable, all this guy needs to do is leave it plugged in for a while. A frozen battery takes time to heat back up.
That nine-volt battery trick now worries me, especially since I live in a city run by Democrats who let car thieves do whatever they please.
Hey word of advice. When you unplug something to reset it. Make sure to try to turn it on with it disconnected. That way its drains the remaining voltage and then it will reset. If you just take it off and put it back. It doesn't reset until the capacitor are emptied
A small correction, there is a belt in the steering control unit, that enables AutoPilot to steer the car. But this belt does not wear out that easily. Not sure if there are any belts in the heatpump section.
Yes, this is true. Thank you!
Normally the BMS prevents the battery from being discharged below a specific voltage. This prevents the battery from being discharged below the safe voltage for this batery type. So like Pc's Phones and Tesla's you cant totally flatten the battery. But battery failure does sometime occur no matter what Technology they use. The 9 volt battery you used have a very poor / low cuurrent output. eg keep a fresh new one just incase. As a retired Techo it's rather scarey what happened. Is the manual door release inside only on the passenger front door or do all doors have one.
I toured the "first world South Africa " last month, they have load shedding 3 to 4 times daily (couple hours at least) including the tourist and billionaire playground Capetown. Imagine USA could be like that if 25% of vehicles are EVs. Every house would need a build in generator for some power maintenance, let alone hospitals, all industries, health care facilities.....then the mortuaries
Where i stay have at worst 3 x 2 hours loadsheding. Still lots of hours in day left
So Tesla owners get excited to unlock doors??? I'm shocked at all the "oddities" of electric vehicles.
Thanks for sharing. I can't see myself buying an EV anytime soon. It's also BS how you can repair nothing yourself on a Tesla so if you don't live in a city, don't buy one.
Sooo yeah. Pretty cool design. Your 12v died...as it does in gas cars too. Pretty damn cool to be able to literally open frunk and even unlock whole car with the 9V battery haha
Don't see my 99 corolla 5 speed manual bricking itself in the 315,000 miles I've had it. Or my 96 ford ranger also 5 speed 150k miles.
These systems are so complex, hopefully there is service information available to diagnose fault codes. I guess even things like a faulty starter motor or a bad fuel flow sensor could introduce error codes into the engine management CPU and shut down the car.
Let me get this straight...the car can self-drive, but cannot diagnose something that simple ? Hard pass on EV.
This is why I don't drive my car down super low. Long trips are planned to arrive w/ enough buffer to account for funky situations such that reaching super low state of charge is avoided (knocks on wood).
Neat: show how simple it is to non-destructively get into a Tesla with only a 9 volt battery.
First time viewer and just subscribed! Sorry this happened. Seen plenty of people go to %0 and then charge back up with no issue. What year is your model 3 and how many miles? Some good tips you mentioned though! Hope it all gets resolved.
Mines a 2019 with 106k miles, so out of main warranty, but still under warranty for a couple of items like main battery pack and drive units. Thanks for subscribing! Welcome to the family! 🤘🏼
@@BecauseTesla dumb question - is there any way to prevent this from happening? you mention how ICE vehicles can recharge the 12v, surely Tesla would have something similar to recharge like running the climate control or something no?
And if it can be recharged when the car is running, why can't it last a lot longer than the 3-4 years avg life span i am seeing on google? Just ordered a Model Y so this scares me :)
@@j0404t older Teslas have a small 12 V lead acid battery that could be run down to zero very easily. Especially if you had security cameras added, it could be problematic. These batteries typically have to be replaced within seven years, but it could be sooner. However, for the last few years they’ve been using a lithium ion 12 V battery that has the same life expectancy is the main battery so replacing it is no longer an issue. it gets recharge from the main battery. What’s why it should always be topped off. Not sure what the situation is if you run down the main battery while also loading up the 12 V battery.
Service mode and the 9v battery trick? You sir are a wealth of knowledge.
James May adress this problem years ago
The small battery can be a problem though
Theft
Thank God I can fix basically anything on any of my cars on the side of the road. I can't imagine driving down thru Sonora or sinaloa while going to see family and having car stop running. It would likely be a death sentence for myself and kids.
This is hilarious, you'll have thieves using batteries to break into Teslas all over the USA
It stated this won't work if you have lock on & your 12v battery has power
Why not just hook a battery tester / charger to the original 12 volt battery first.. I assume your Tesla main batteries are fully charged now ??? Maybe something needs to be re-set after you ran the car dead?
Can’t you take it to a local garage down the road. Be much cheaper . Someone was even telling me EVs don’t even carry a spare wheel as they can’t be jacked up by the road side. How stupid is that
Actually , that was wrong, the way I said .If not mistaken Tesla in it's brochure, has said that never let your vehicle should
be below 20%. So Sorry for my bluntness
Stress galore,not needed.
I wonder why EV's look like a step backwards?
My 1994 F-150 has never been on a tow truck.
When all vehicles are EV the towing companies will do a great business. No jumpstarts and when they die they die.
The Vulcan Science Directorate has determined that independent Tesla repair, and time travel is impossible.
I think the 9V battery closed a relay that used the cars' power to pop all the locks.
Check your Tesla Shop Manual and let me know if I am right or if that little battery powered the locks on its own
If the car doesn't work, at least the payments do.
The user manual clearly states to not do this. You broke your own car, this isn't a Tesla fault.
THANKS! From this video I know ABSOLUTELY FOR SURE I will NEVER have a Tesla!
Does this mean that any thief can access the car with a 9-volt battery?
That's the reason I will never own a Tesla, those things are like a very high maintenance woman with a horrible mother.
I think you are still in the 120k battery warranty. Is this the high voltage battery that came with the car? Or did Tesla replace it at one point?
Hint: my battery warranty is not covering the cause of the failure. 😩
@@BecauseTesla what do you mean battery failure?
@@BecauseTesla seriously?? I'll be watching part 2 with anxiety. Dreading the day anything happens to my Y, I live 200 miles from a service center.
What a farce. The thing that I find the most crazy is that you own 2 of them.
wow these leave power cables just hanging inside ur bumper freely? .
Is there a warranty on that POS?
All of that because the battery was drained to 0 charge? That's insane. If my car runs out of gas I don't have any problems after pouring 4-5 gallons into the tank. Getting locked out is a major design flaw.
Never connect battery positive post first. 🔥
Two things. Why not put a rag or a towel on the front boot To stop it accidentally being closed, and to why not wind the wind down all the way so you can get to the emergency door handle or am I being stupid
very well explained! thanks for that and all the best for your model 3! greetings from switzerland and peace
had the same problem, have them check the ground wire of the 12v. it comes loose
They found the problem, and it's not related to the 12v or its wires. When I release part 2 of this video, it will all make sense.
Tesla quality is horrendous. Too much unreliable tech that causes more headaches than ever before. I'll stick to my 18 year old Toyota Camry with over 350,000 kms that runs trouble-free to this day. Toronto, Canada. The fact that Tesla cars have a built in tow hook tells you something about their cars.
When you drive a computer on wheels. LoL!!
I'll save myself money and stress and get the bus lol
There is no way 99.9999% of people who own a tesla are going to know how let alone be able to do what you did. Tesla must have known their systems aren't reliable in order to build in all those steps to "fix" it. Another reason I'll not ever buy a Tesla. Despite that, I'm really very curious as to what was the problem. Please be sure to make a follow-up on what they found and how they fixed it.
Part 2 is out, and it explains it all.
Serves ya right for spending a 100k on a golf cart.
Cha Ching cha ching....the cash registers just rang happily........🤣
I'd never buy one of these shite boxes! Serves you right.
Think I'll stick to my old VW's.
I can push start it if the battery dies and the "frunk" can't lock me outta my beer stash, haha....
There have been plenty of videos about people being locked out of their EVs (not just Tesla btw - it applies to most EVs). It seems that there should be some sort of 'last resort' system to allow access to a bricked EV.
Yea, the thiefs would like that.
I've got an i3 which might be the exception, as BMW did thoughtfully include a physical key in case you get locked out due to a flat 12v battery, you can then pull the emergency frunk release from inside the car to get access to the 12v battery.
Those 9v connectors looked like quality =)))
An electric car in a Winter state.Makes sense.
