Hi Everyone!
My Model X (December 2017) ran out of juice on my 12v battery. I got this message on my dash saying I needed to service my 12v battery soon..or else. I found that extremely odd. Sometimes you get a lousy battery but this one was a real head scratcher. At any rate, the good people at Tesla set me up with a new battery and came by to install it. Here are the pics.
As you may know, it's not quite simple to get to the 12v battery or anything for that matter on Teslas. It's hidden behind the frunk and there are a number of steps to take to remove everything. I saw the big filter used for the bio-defense mode feature. It's in the photos below. There's also a curious thing going on with the emergency trunk release button. It's impossible to get to. It's that green button you see in my photos. Well, if you are somehow in a situation kidnapped in your own car and you need to get out, you won't be able to because the frunk has a shroud that you would be sitting in and in order to get access to this green button, you would need to remove the shroud. Anyhow, another head scratcher.
