Yes, that one’s fixed. Not the most elegant fix tho’... the controlling software will now shut down the car if the battery charge falls too low. So you have a useless brick until you can get it charged up. It does give a warning prior to shutdown to give you time to hopefully get to a place where you can charge it.

No, it starts out as a worthless brick. The battery problem is just frosting on the brick.
