I've not seen an answer to this yet anywhere so here goes:
Scenario:
Your 12v Battery is dead.
Your car is locked
The FOB won't work (requires 12v power in car)
The physical key in the FOB also won't work.( I think it still requires power)
You can't get inside the car to change the 12v battery or access the terminals under the rear engine cover.
How would you get 12v power to the system from OUTSIDE the car? Just enough to allow the FOB to work to open the door.
There must be a way to do with without Breaking a Window/Calling a Service.
I just don't know what it is. I think RIVIAN has some terminals hidden in the hitch that can be used for this purpose. The i3 does not have anything that obvious.
Note: I do not have this problem so don't tell me to "try this or try that". This has just come up a few times in the past with others. Also, someone on Reddit currently has this problem.
