Sounds like your 12V was totally empty, and the fact it turned off when you disconnected the other car suggests a fault with your car as it should be able to maintain the 12V bus right away. I expect the car will die again and the 12V will be totally empty again as it's not being recharged by...

Yes, I have added a camera to my SE.

The most likely explanation is the simplest, you pressed the wrong pedal while manoeuvring/parking.

You're not trying hard enough :D

If you're worried about range then maybe turn the heat down, you've got it on 32°C !!
