From the thread Where is my battery capacity?
It is written in the manual:
"Discharging the Battery to 0% may permanently damage the Battery. To protect against a complete discharge, Model S enters a low-power consumption mode when the charge level drops to 5%. In this mode, the Battery stops supporting the onboard electronics to slow the discharge rate to approximately 4% per month. Once this lowpower consumption mode is active, it is important to plug in Model S within two months to avoid Battery damage.
Note: When the low-power consumption mode is active, the auxiliary 12V battery is no longer being charged and can completely discharge within 12 hours. In the unlikely event that this occurs, you may need to jump start or replace the 12V battery before you can charge. In this situation, contact Tesla."
I infer that the 5% quoted in that paragraph is not 5% as reported to the user on the car's displays, since you can drive the car until it reads 0% or 0km.
It sounds like it is possible your main battery is damaged, but according to the manual only if it was at 0km for a few months.
Good luck getting charge into that main battery, it is crucial that you succeed soon.
It is possible more in detail about it? can I have just such a case, the main battery is low too, and I can`t charge the ring port is lit in red.
It can not charge, the port is open but does not burn white.
