In this riveting episode of Vehicle Virgins, we delve into the nightmare scenario of a dead Tesla battery leaving you stranded with doors that won't budge. The team uncovers the shocking truth that even when plugged in, a drained 12vt battery in the front trunk can sabotage your charging plans. But fear not, as a hero emerges in the form of a tow hook cap, offering a lifeline to jump-start your electric steed. Tesla's jaw-dropping $900 tow fee looms large, but our intrepid host finds a workaround, risking it all by connecting to another vehicle's battery.

As the drama unfolds, attempts with a jump box and a 9V battery fall flat, leaving our protagonist no choice but to defy Tesla's warnings and turn to another car for salvation. With trim pieces removed and cables connected, the Tesla roars back to life, a triumphant moment amidst the chaos. The saga continues as the team navigates the intricacies of reattaching low voltage cables and ensuring a successful charging session, all while pondering the quirks of using extension cords in a pinch.

Against the backdrop of Tesla's cautionary manual, our host reflects on the unexpected necessity of jumping a high-tech electric vehicle with a traditional combustion engine. Lessons learned in the heat of the moment underscore the importance of strategic charging habits and the occasional need to go against the manufacturer's advice for a shot at redemption. Through challenges and triumphs, the video serves as a rallying cry for Tesla owners everywhere, offering a glimpse into the unpredictable world of electric car ownership and the resilience required to navigate its pitfalls.
