Yes. Of the “lessons learned” so far from this, keeping a 12v jumper box in the truck is number one. Once you are in the frunk it is easy to find the terminals to hook up it up. This at least will let you open the doors, windows, tailgate and access the screen for whatever controls might still work. I’m planning to add a 12v booster box to the tire repair kit I keep in the vault.
The other lesson is teach yourself how to access the charger emergency release cable, the rear door emergency open cables, the frunk release 12v hook up in the wheel well, and the low voltage terminals in the frunk. Googling/youtubing all that in an iced over, 20 degree, dark parking lot kinda sucked.
So next question is where would you store the 12v booster? If I had one in the vault or the frunk I wouldn’t have been able to get to it. If you leave it at home it doesn’t help on a trip. Even leaving it in the cabin isn’t perfect if the truck bricks while you are not in it. ??
I will have a Urander bed cap so I can open the cap with my keys to get the 12v booster.

Thanks for sharing.

Was the root cause a defective 12v battery?

I would also like to know the result of this. I take my dogs everywhere and that would just suck.. especially if it was 100 out and all of a sudden that happened.

Sorry this is happened to you. Hope you get it resolved quickly. One of my biggest fears on a long road trip.

Anyone can suggest a good lithium battery booster for the jump start?

Actually the critical alert I got on my phone was that dog mode was inoperative and “environmental system fault”. So that’s kinda reassuring.

I don't think there is a 12v battery in the CT. I think it's a 48v battery. And I'm pretty sure it's a lithium battery.
