Most of the time when something fails on a new car it gets fixed and it doesn't happens again. It just happens to be that the part that failed on your car had a severe cause. Best of luck that it was just something small and you can start enjoying your car again.Sounds like communication issues between 12V and main battery pack, but service center still awaiting central input to determine cause. Hopefully next week I'll know, if it's more serious I'll request buyback

Here ya go:
People still having 12 volt battery problems?
Seems Tesla has had plenty of time to fix that. Mine failed at 18months, fortunately giving me a warning rather than a shut down. Why don't they use a Ni Mh battery which last a long time in Prius? Lead acid batteries have a shortish life span on ICE but over 18 months.
Why does the car even need a 12v battery when there is all that power reserve in the main battery pack. Can't that power the system too?
The root cause for my 12v battery issue was a battery coolant heater.I agree...I once had a 12v that died and all sorts of alerts popped up. As soon as it was replaced everything was fine.
Prius has a lead acid 12v, the NiMh was the big pack which is equivalent to the Lithium Ion pack in a Tesla.
And fwiw Nissan and Toyota both have 12v issues all the time. I have a Prius and a Leaf and have replaced the OEM 12v on both due to failures.
The only car (as far as I know, correct me if im wrong) without a 12v battery is the hyundai ioniq. It uses a dc/dc step down to to decrease voltage from the HV battery pack to 12v.
