Model Y not responding

I left my 2023 Model Y at my remote cabin yesterday about 125 miles from home. When I got there it had 35% charge and locked it with the app shortly after leaving. Last night after arriving back home with the Tesla still at the cabin. I checked the APP and the charge was now down to 25% from 35% and last update was 3 hours old and would not connect.

This morning it still will not connect with a last reading of 25% 13 hours ago.

I'm concerned that for some reason something was left on and the battery totally drained and that is why its not updating. . Am i correct?

I am going to drive the 125 miles back this morning and bring a 12 v jump box just in case. What do you think and what should I look for?

Any hints on how to jump if needed to get into the locked car? I've never done tis before..

Update. False alarm. Got to the cabin and car was alive and well. The door opened with phone as a key. Charge was at 25%. I plugged it in to add some charge before leaving it at the cabin and departing to go back home with our Lightning.

I have no idea why the car didn’t communicate with Tesla mothership. It’s communicating fine after I started to charge it.

How good is the cell signal at your remote cabin?

The owner's manual has instructions for opening the hood without power.
In the 15 months I've had a Model Y I never had this problem before at the location.

When I left today I put a lightweight silver mylar car cover that I had laying around on the car and the car didn't update again. Hopefully the car cover acted like a faraday bag.

I will get a better cover. Looking to just protect it from the sun and polen fallout.
