Default Battery Dead Again

I purchased my new 25 Stingray last week and have had nothing but issues. The salesman actually brought me a new battery and I thought things were sorted, but I wake up this morning and car is dead again. Now I can’t even tow this car since the door won’t close with the window up. Is there an override for this?

If you have a coupe you can take the targa top off to close the door. The easiest way to get it to the dealer is going to be getting the battery swapped/charged so the car can be driven to the dealer.

Default Managed to get it to the dealer

Disconnected everything and put the battery on a real charger and let it sit for a few hours. Then connected my noco jump start and finally got it running. Took it straight to the dealer. Hopefully they can figure this out. I just want to drive the thing and it was such a nice weekend.

Default Gremlins all Sorted

Dealership finally figured out what was draining my battery and not letting me enjoy my brand new car. I was initially having an issue where the front hood would pop up on its own when I returned back to my car and got in. Was getting a notice on the dash that my hood was open. Then next morning battery would be dead. The hood button on the door was actually stuck pressed and the signal to pop hood was constantly being fired thus drain on battery. I got a call today that they figured it out and was finally able to get some miles in on the country roads in Virginia.

Glad it's fixed! Where abouts in Virginia are you? I'm in NoVA, up near Reston / Herndon area.
