It's pretty clear that they ONLY denied the warranty to the 12V battery. Which is reasonable and is clearly stated on the manual. Lexus/Toyota won't even let you jump start another vehicle if you have a Hybrid. Not only will they not warranty the 12v battery, but also other electronics that you end up damaging. "Exclusive jump starting terminal precaution The exclusive jump starting terminal is to be used when charging the 12-volt battery from another vehicle in an emergency. It cannot be used to jump start another vehicle." https://www.rav4world.com/threads/12v-battery-dead-on-2017-xse.295051/page-2#post-2693991 https://www.rav4world.com/threads/12v-battery-dead-on-2017-x... https://priuschat.com/threads/jump-starting-the-prius-c.120700/ https://priuschat.com/threads/jump-starting-the-prius-c.1207...

> It's pretty clear that they ONLY denied the warranty to the 12V battery. Which is reasonable and is clearly stated on the manual. How is that clear? I am curious where in the article that was made clear to you. The Headline is "Tesla voids your warranty if you try to power your home with your electric car battery pack", and another section "The Tesla service center said that the battery needed replacing, but they actually found this post on the Facebook group and said that his setup voided the warranty."

  > How is that clear? I am curious where in the article that was made clear to you. Click the Twitter link from the article. There is a picture of the owner where he said on he FB post: "So I bring it to Tesla and they are replacing the 12v not under warranty" Source: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EuodaE6WQAA3tKN?format=jpg https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EuodaE6WQAA3tKN?format=jpg I think we can all agree that the article headline is clickbaity. It should've been "Tesla voids your 12V battery warranty if you try to power your home with your electric car battery pack" It was also crafted to never mention that it was 12V battery that was voided. They just vaguely say "voided the warranty" but never cared to mention what part of the vehicle.

    That's why I was asking. There has been a lot of discussion on which part was voided, and you stated it was very clear without providing any source. If you had provided that source in the first place, I would have agreed with you.

      The source was already cited on the article? Albeit, you had to click the Twitter link. You should’ve read it more thoroughly. It’s also worth mentioning that the original story was actually posted on the /r/teslamotors subreddit. The author has a bad reputation there of lurking and making zero effort articles like this one with a catchy headline. Leading to him being booted as a mod. He also never credits Reddit users.
