I’m sorry. They tried to jump start their battery powered vehicle?
Yes! EVs still have a smaller ordinary car battery in them. It charges from the main battery in the same way in a ICE car it will charge from the alternator. If the main battery is dead, or just for some reason not charging the small battery, it can effectively act exactly as if an ICE car has a dead battery.
Fun fact, you can also use that fact to use existing car battery to mains power gadgets in the case of a home power outage without the more complex dedicated reverse-charging that only some cars (and chargers) support, but without running an ICE in/outside your house for hours.
The battery that does the driving is completely different from the battery that does the rest of the stuff in the car. So whilst it sounds funny, it’s actually correct.
This is not a unique Tesla thing BTW, I think all electric cars work like that. The battery that does the driving has very different requirements, so keeping them separated is the best solution.
What is pretty shit from Tesla is the regular battery dying all the time. That’s a pretty unique Tesla issue.
Yeah, my Leaf has a battery, and if the leads get corroded I can’t start nor charge my battery. It sounds weird, but afiak most electric cars are setup this way.
“couldn’t activate transport mode”…oy, fucking hilarious

Ha, apparently! I just can’t get enough of these posts, what an absolute dumpster fire of a vehicle, company, and their customers.
And the owner, don’t forget that Mr Desperate To Be Loved is also a flailing tire fire…
Fake. It still has all its panels.
I saw one the other day with a wobbly axle. They’re built like shit.
Was this the girl with 6 teslas that has been seen posting about her experiences camping with them? Or is that another generic blonde with too much money?
Yeah, you’re gonna have to be more specific…that doesn’t actually narrow it down much
I remember when cars worked.
Cars still do. Whatever that thing is doesn’t.
