Battery issue?

Have had my Grecale for 3 weeks and woke up to a battery completely dead. Had to have it towed to the car dealership and was informed they had 4 other Grecale's in the shop having the same issue. It has now been in the shop for 1 week. So frustrating to have a new car and within 3 weeks it's in the shop. Maserati really needs to figure out this issue or take this vehicle off of the market until it can be fixed and start refunding people's money. So sad because it really is a nice car.
My Grecale was in the shop twice in the first 3 weeks for the very same issue. Each time it was towed in with a dead battery. During the first visit the dealership charged the battery and performed software updates. Once completed, they deemed the car ready to go. I drove the car for 3 days and it died again. The second time around the car was in the shop for 5 days and after working with Maserati Engineering they determined that the car needed a new upgraded "High Output Battery." I have had the car back for 3 weeks now and I have not had any issues. Fingers crossed that they figure out your issue.
 
I purchased my Grecale GT on June 10, 2023, and by June 17, 2023, the vehicle was brought in via flat bed due to a dead battery. The vehicle had 311 miles on the odometer. The dealer kept the car until June 21, 2023, and then declared the car "Good to go." According to the dealer the vehicle had multiple software upgrades that were needed one of which was designed to help with battery issues. I picked the car up on June 21, 2023, and by June 23, 2023, the vehicle was towed back to the dealership for the same issue. Dead battery! The vehicle had 360 miles on it when towed in. The car is still at the dealership today. The dealership did a deep cycle charge on the battery with no luck and then they were instructed by Maserati Engineering to install a higher output battery. Currently they are holding the vehicle for a few days to see if the vehicle losses power. In addition to this I have had all of the other issues that other Grecale owners are reporting, doors hard to get into, key not detected while driving down the road, and the other one is the auto stop/start is sometimes on with out me pushing the button and sometimes it isn't. I'm hoping the battery issues will be resolved....if not I may have a lemon.
