    Left my 2022 Tundra hybrid in my garage for a couple of months. Battery is dead, nothing, zero, zilch power anywhere. Tried jump start following proper directions, nada not even a click, any suggestions?

    Replace the battery. Rumor is the new trucks drain a battery after sitting a few weeks because the the current draw on all the electronics. Need to put a battery tender on it or pull the battery cables if it’s going to sit.

    If there are no clear instructions in the manual about battery care in such situations, it should be covered under warranty. You have nothing to lose by trying.

    Welcome from NY.

    Bring it to the dealership for the warranty.

    Yes will do, though nothing will work. Need to be towed I guess. Any thoughts on getting towed when I can’t shift into neutral? Steering wheel locked etc. I mean if I can get a new battery under warranty great, but they may need to see the vehicle and battery at the dealership.

    I know you said you tried to jump it with no luck, but have you tried charging the battery first? Might be worth a shot to save you a tow to the dealership.
