My preference is the leave the ICE doing ICE things, and the electricity for christmas lights.

ICE would be pretty sweet for Christmas lights

And a BUMP for 2024...
My friend who should be in charge of keeping his friend from fisting his 918 has found that the genius owner fucked up and let his $2MM car make for battery die. Fuck.

But so far, it sounds like he's got a small chance of getting away with it. Is this just another case where British cars gobble the turds of Ze Germans?
Don't get me wrong. I'm rooting for this guy merely because I like him, but Holy Fuck - here we are again with the "why the fuck didn't your Butler's gardener's Butler square this shit up?¿!!¿!¡!??" scenario.

I had a discussion recently with a friend who works for Ferrari. He had a LaFerrari with a dead battery that they needed to deal with. Ending up having to ship the car back to Italy and the whole thing took over 6 months to sort. Bill was over $200k.

It's confirmed. The silly owner let the 918's main battery die and he got away with nothing more than a tow to the dealer and a cautionary replacement of its 12V along with some diagnosis. Gotta have been less than a $3k hit. Not bad.

He is very very fortunate.
