Initially I was like, big deal - your 12v died, it’s happened to us all. Then I realised the complaint was he couldn’t even get in to the car to roll it back out of the way.
Surely if that was the case there should have been some way to get access to the 12v bay to either jump start or replace the battery? How did the engineers get access?
Maybe an oversight with design?
There is a way to get to it through a panel om the front bumper.
