The Tesla owner said getting stuck in his driveway was "annoying as hell," and he tried everything from hosing the car down to jumping the battery.

    There is a way to access the 12V battery without power

    Link to the Model 3 owners manual

    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?
