Maserati Quattroporte has the battery in the trunk.  This thing is

electrically.  Oops.

You can access a limited (read: small wire) connection to the battery
from under the hood, possibly to trickle charge enough to get the
trunk open.  But to open the hood, you need to open the door.  Which
is electrically operated.

Oh, but wait.  Those clever Italians realized that the electric door
opener would likely fail, so they conveniently put a manual door
handle right beside the electric one.  I mean, right beside.  So it's
totally optional whether you open the door electrically or manually.
Weird.

How about battery goes dead, you have to break your window? I’ve been

researching McLarens since they’re a relative bargain. I’ve been looking

mostly at the 650S, but apparently on the MP4-12C, when the battery dies,

the last thing it does is lower the window a hair so you can open the

dihedryl doors with a special key to get in to charge things. If that

malfunctions, you have to break the window to open the door. Check out this

video. Skip to 3:56 if you’re short on time:

My wife’s first-gen Boxster is almost as stupid. If the battery dies, you

can’t release the front hood (where the battery is) because it’s an electric

release only. There’s a little pop-out piece of plastic in the driver’s side

footwell fuse holder where you can connect a jumper cable to get enough

juice to pop the hood, but that’s a common failure point of Boxsters,

including my wife’s. So I had to rig up a cable to back feed voltage into

the cigarette lighter to be able to pop the hood to charge/replace the

battery. Not the most German piece of engineering…

Oh my – yeah, $300 batteries just don’t last like they used to

So your battery goes dead – suspension collapse?  Doors and hood and trunk

locks?

Some of our wonderful modern vehicles treat their owners that way for

electron negligence.

That’ll show ya - - - - “peep”  all gone.

So Clyde – will your 575 treat you bad if your battery goes “peep”?

Just askin’

One of the major issues is that it needs to be on a tender if your not going

to drive it fora extended period of time

The alarm system is always hot

There is a batter disconnect switch under the hood that you can use to

disconnect the car so to say from the battery

But I don’t know if the alarm function is still operational
