What do you see as an end user when it does not charge the 12V? How do you recognize the problem? How are you charging the 12v now?
From our view there is nothing to note that the 12v isn't being charged, until it reaches a threshold that kicks out the "Low 12v Battery" Warning. The tech's have a nice 'service door' view thru the MCU (aka "the big screen") where he can read the settings - this is the same interface that the engineers view remotely - so that's how i know of the lack of charge. However, if you ever need to recharge your 12v, just take off the nosecone and on the driver's side of the car are positive (red cap) and negative terminals. See the posts above for more detail.

This car, so complete and by a rookie company so soon after development began, is an industrial triumph. Plus, for us, it provides local jobs. I know these bugs would drive me crazy were it a standard lux. automobile, but it is not a standard car at all. Early adopters gotta expect bugs.
Truth! I'm only posting my experience in case other owners find it helpful/useful in future - i'm not writing in anger, though i do miss the car (I loved my 4 days with it!). This isn't a Beta model anymore, but as the early adopters i think we do have a responsibility to report experiences and help improve the vehicle.
