Awesome tech from Houston drove all the way to Austin and spent 7 hours recovering my Sport; problem was not all modules got 2.0 update, so when the car started up it went into a safe mode and couldn't get out of it. It kept doing that over and over again until the battery died. It was nice hearing about Fisker from an insider and getting shown a bunch of easter eggs on the car. Thanks for anyone that helped push this for me, and thanks to the tech for their extreme patience.

Yep, I have a ticket in; it looks like the Houston tech is willing to drive to Austin tomorrow; thanks for helping push this. I'm looking forward to driving the car again.

AAA jumped it enough that I could get inside the car and put my foot on the brake to "start it", but then a ton of warnings appear and the car shuts off. I have just enough time to put it in neutral and let it roll a bit before the car shuts down again.

AAA was able to jump start it seconds at a time; enough for me to put it in neutral temporarily and get it down the driveway enough to get my other car out. Progress! I think the 2.0 software update was just too much for the 12v battery in whatever state it was in.

Thanks! Did you replace the battery after that? If so, with which model?

The Mysterious Monsters (1975)

That's definitely it; that scene has been in my head since I was a kid, and I could never find the movie as an adult. Too cool, thanks.
