... Thank you to Lee and everyone at the San Diego SC for getting my baby back to me so I could keep my appointment this morning to have the dash cams installed!
Unfortunately, I don't think so. When I got my first Model S at the end of 2012, I had problems the day after it was delivered (having driven it maybe only about five miles). That was a very early car though, and it's sad to hear that this issue is still occurring. Tesla took very good care of me, but still...Do I have the world record on shortest 12v battery life?
Hey, dlmorgan999, I got my Model S mid Dec 2012 also! And to top that, Monday I'm driving to Tigard, OR for vacation for a week! Maybe I'll see you there...Unfortunately, I don't think so.

Hey Moonwick, so what was the outcome with your battery issue?
I think have beaten the world record: Yesterday I took delivery of my Model S in Paris (France). I drove 11 km and parked the car in the garage under my work. I wanted to drive home today, but got the 12v battery error and the car switched off. All screens and everything...
Waiting for the tow truck now. :crying:

UPDATE: The cause of the "12v battery" message and complete shutdown of my car turned out not to be the battery. It was the air conditioniner pump which had gone wrong. Tesla explained that in order to prevent damage to the other things everything was shut down. I am still curious why the message said 12v batter, while actually it was the AC.
The A/C compressor used in the Model S is high voltage, not 12V. The easiest way to tell, is by the orange cables going to it.To be clear, I believe the HVDC system provides power for cabin/pack heat, whereas the air-conditioning system is a typical 12V system. I base this on having seen the HV connector on the car for the heaters... but understanding the A/C compressor is the same as used on some other cars and runs at 12VDC.
(And although both are part of the "HVAC" system, I thought it would be useful to clarify)

Do I need to drive around more just to keep the 12V charging?
