    Purchased gen4 in November 2024, from a dealership. 12 volt battery is said to be new (I am not seeing a date anywhere on the battery.) I also carry a booster.

    No signs of trouble, yet car is dead when I get back in the car at the grocery store. Booster does not appear to be helping. Not a single dash light.

    Maybe some type of system reboot?

    You need to take a DVM reading; before poking around in the dark. Your booster doesn't work, because it's not reading any power - so it won't turn-on unless you bypass the safeties and force it ON.
    Loose battery connection, when they swapped out the battery? There's also that little fuse block do-hicky on the positive cable.
