    This happened to James May after he left his car sitting for a bit of time. It was a huge pain in the ass to fix it

      This was the first thing I thought of when I saw this post. It was a real bitch to get to the small battery to power it himself. This was during the pandemic and was the first time I was like “hmmm maybe I don’t want a Tesla”. And, among many other reasons, I do not want a Tesla.
