2022 Tesla model 3LR 12v Li-ion battery failure
Monday: The 3 month old 2022 Model 3LR with 5k miles displayed messages:
Connector on low voltage battery is not secured , push connector tab down until it locks in place.
Low voltage battery disconnected - reconnect low voltage battery or schedule service.
Elecrical system backup power is unavailable - vehicle will consume more power while idle
The car was in the garage. The car would not go into R N or F.
Called service, they recommended calling roadside. Called roadside they revived logs said nothing they can do, call service. Called service back they scheduled a tow truck for next day.
Tuesday: The car was dead, no power Tow truck arrived, the driver was the tesla specialist, we was good. He poped open the front port, attached a 12v batter source and opened the frunk. Revove the battery cover, the lithium battery was a surprise to him but he connect his external battery to the car. The car booted up, closed the windows and put the car in tow mode.
The car was transported 170 miles to Mesa , AZ. Service called said they would try and get it in Thursday.
Thursday: Service called/messaged they were working on it.
Friday: Service called/messaged Car was ready, service replaced the 12v Lithium battery, were not sure why the battery had failed.
If I were king of the forest, i would have sent someone to replace the battery instead of parading my dead product 170 miles on a flat bed...
