Default electrical issues

Hi everyone,
I have a a 2018 manual V6 f-type. Yesterday, as I was driving a lot of the electrical stopped working including the screen, stereo, a/c, etc. I then got a bunch of warnings on my dash for all of the things that weren't working.
The car was fully drivable. I parked and after a bit started it again and everything worked fine for about 20 minutes and then the same thing happened.
It was extremely hot yesterday at around 100 degrees.
Today, it is a bit cooler and I have driven the car with no difficulties.
I'm wondering if any of you have ideas. ? loose cable
Thanks!
Nick

How old is the battery? Could be suffering from a voltage drop when it gets hot. The F-Type electronics are very sensitive to low voltage.

Similar experience yesterday. While I was in the parked vehicle, the electrical completely shut down. Screens went blank, lift gate was immobile and vehicle would not start. I let it sit a minute, opened and closed the driver's side door and she started up. Except for date/time defaulting and the windows needing a reset, it seems OK now. Battery is only 16 months old.

Thanks for the advice! I think my battery is about 1.5 years old but makes sense to start there.
Thanks again!
Nick
