>> Through the low voltage architecture, you can get the power from the main battery pack and power several devices on the inverter.
He was pulling 12v from the 12v battery, but the car was topping up that battery from the main power pack. So he was effectively drawing power from the main pack. This would impact more than the 12v battery. I doubt tesla ever anticipated the 12v battery being discharged so quickly/continuously. They probably just don't know how this might impact any number of systems. An overheating 12v charging/rectifier system could fry something totally unrelated. This is exactly the sort of situation where a warranty for the entire car could/should be voided.
