Not needed,I asked the tesla mobile service guy, said before 12V Battery died there is notice pup up on the screen,use any third party May have some potential issues
You can access the LV Battery vitals via in-car Service Mode.I'm wondering, is there a way to test the health of the 12v battery? Is there something on the display (or should there be) to indicate 12v battery health to avoid
any unexpected "sudden death"?

That is useful information, but unfortunately does not tell you the LV battery health. I think to really do that, you need an external tester, which is how it is traditionally done for lead acids.You can access the LV Battery vitals via in-car Service Mode.
The recurring item from the Service Manual is to confirm that the LV Battery SoC is above 73%.

The info I posted is probably just for the Low Voltage (aka 16V Li-ion battery).Thank you very much! My wife's 2018 Model 3 is her daily driver, if she were to get stuck somewhere due to unexpected 12v battery failure "there would be hell to pay"!
My vehicle has under 6000 miles. I had no issues until I had to park my car at the airport for a week. Not in a covered stall. When returning my battery was very low. I couldn’t update. Numerous alert warnings in car. Tesla service rep said “ it’s about time” and normal to replace the aux. battery at this age. She said if car was driven more the battery would last longer. So a $70 battery ( at a car parts store) will cost me over $ 350.00 to have it replaced at Tesla. So, tell me again on how I’m saving money not having to buy gas???
“ service ranger “? Tesla service center?Last I heard, a model 3(and presumably Y) battery of that era was only like $80 at the dealer and another $50 for a service ranger to install.
Service Ranger is a person that comes in a small Tesla van and can repair your vehicle in your parking lot.“ service ranger “? Tesla service center?
Maybe your state is different, but the 12V battery in California is about $85 and labor to install $25-50.My vehicle has under 6000 miles.
