I left my car for a few months in my garage plugged into the charger and when I came back, the 12volt was dead. Couldnt open the doors or the frunk. The tow truck guy found A Spot under the dash for a temporary charge to drive it out of the garage.

I just did it myself. Isn't that hard. The trick is catching 12V battery in time, before it gets really severely depleted, as then you cannot jump it back to life.

Once below 8 volts its internal contactor opens to try and save itself. That's why you need >=14V booster pack to shock/wake the BMS inside the battery back into life so it can accept a re-charge.

I really like my Taycan (and my previous Porsches as well) but getting a quote for thousands of dollars for a 12V battery would really sour the experience. A 12V which costs this much is a bad design or the OEM taking advantage of its customers (perhaps both).

Porsche if you are listening, add this one to the list of serious irritants (like the extortion for the App renewal) which tarnishes an otherwise great vehicle.

Unsurprisingly there’s now a bunch of third-party repairers that can revive a completely “dead” 12v LiFePo4 battery like the one in the Taycan at a fraction of the cost of a factory new one. Link above in my post gives some clues. There’s repairers advertising on eBay here in the UK.

In 2022, my car sat in a German parking lot from July to Sept waiting for a 12V battery due to a fire at the battery shop….delaying its trip to the US. At the time, I couldn’t imagine what kind of 12V could halt the delivery of hundreds of $100k+ vehicles….I get it now.
