Don’t twist it, you know better, and exactly what I am talking about. Foolish trends chasing shiny new baubles and bangles and toys is what created this compulsory tech mess we have now.

In this particular case (this thread) jumping the 12v battery would allow the owner to unlock the doors. Am not sure if you can get to the 12v. battery “jump point”/terminals with the doors/hatch locked tho..

Apparently you can “pop the hood” with a jump pack to get to the 12 v. dead battery? A bit confusing:

It is a toy we could live without if we still had phone booths. And because we fell head over heels for the toy it is now a leash to control us.

“I DO NOT GIVE A (deleted per JR guidelines)”

Obviously you do because you invited me to discuss EV performance.
