Reddit mentions: The best jump starters

12v batteries can just die and come back. My Leaf complained one day, made us pull over on the interstate, I wiggled the terminals and no problems 2 years later. I heard reports that 30 years ago sometimes the lead plates inside would touch and the battery melting down or exploding to the point only a corner was left.

Your post sounds like a huge overreaction to something you can go to your local parts store and fix in ~20 min with a 10mm, 12mm, or 1/2in wrench. I am sympathetic that this happened, always sucks, but learn to deal with hurdles and overcome them. Maybe there is some way to learn about the basics of cars where you aren't afraid of a 12v battery, flat tire, or running out of washer fluid. You seem very angry about the helpless you are feeling from a 12v battery not even made by Tesla. Good luck.

Edit: Classic RWD Model S looks to be a pain the first time, new dual motor looks super easy. I am glad Tesla fixed that since the 12V seems to be such a problem. Looks like Model S uses a DCS-33IT which I found online and a someone claims to be better than OEM option but that doesn't help you in your driveway on a weekend. You could consider getting a jumpbox assuming you have the new style just to get to around for a few days. Since EV aren't doing high cranking amps I was looking for a cigarette lighter booster which may help if you car at least turns on, but didn't see anything that wasn't IDY.

Pretty sure I wouldn't want to be trying to kick over a 103" or larger high compression engine too much. My shovel is a 93" at 10:1. I'd say 70% of the time I can fire it up in 1 or 2 kicks, the rest often takes a 3rd. Get it wrong, it's a good way to get hurt.

I see riders who complain they can't figure out if they have enough gas or not without a gas gauge now days. First person that hurt themselves with a factory kicker, we'd be seeing a hot coffee law suite with HD.

Just get one of these and you’ll be able to fully charge your phone 5 or 6 times and it’s a lot smaller than a solar charger
