The MachE has the same problem. You wouldn't believe the stupid arguments I got into with MachE owners on their Forum about adding a maintenance charger to the 12V (LVB - cool acronym for low-voltage battery) to keep it topped off when the MachE was in storage. One guy insisted it would eff up the MachE's charging history of the LVB and cause it not to charge the battery when driving. Lol.

I don't know if it's a model S thing or if he has an older model S, but on my model 3 the 12v battery is easily accessible under the hood. There is also a connector behind the tow hook cover that you can use to open the hood if there's no power.

I have also not had any issues with it draining the 12v and my car sits for months sometimes. I do leave it plugged in and don't charge it to 100% so maybe that's why. Also I think on newer models they have moved to lithium batteries for the 12v also.

They call them estate cars or 'shooting brake' for Jaguar lol over here but in Poland,Germany and maybe some of Europe it's mostly kombi I think, short for kombinazion. In America I've heard 'mini van' being used a lot but rarely midi van for the larger vehicles and not sure what for Canada.

Better get rid of your smart phone, toys, smart watches, tools, computers, cameras, tablets, etc... because that's bound to be 95% of what was in that factory. Not many car batteries being recycled yet.

still scary stuff, hopefully they can get some better safety protocols in place for recycling centers after this mess.
