The battery with the cross out circle next to it. I checked the manual online and can’t figure it out.

Interesting that you're not seeing a computed miles per kWh after 2.1 miles and 7 minutes run time.

This is the 15" screen version :

I find that the trip odometers in the instrument panel display efficiency all the time. On my center screen, my Trip 1 and Trip 2 frequently display 0 for efficiency, when the instrument panel works fine.

I just looked yesterday, and my lifetime is 1.8, whereas the last 1,850 miles (local) is 1.9.

Usually I get my efficiency there as well. It was not reading it. Right before this happened my fob did not work in unlocking the doors. i used the physical key to get in and the alarm went off until i started the truck. i am guessing it was a low 12V or something but can't fully figure it out... Today I have the efficiency being reported but still the battery with the cross out on it. Is this a low 12V thing?

You're not understanding the display.

Curvy line with arrow appears above the number of miles you drove.
Clock appears above the length of time of your trip.
Battery icon with line (see @TaxmanHog's picture) appears above your non-existent efficiency...

Look at your trips in the center console.

Definitely sounds like a weak or dying 12 volt. Get it checked at a dealer if you are still within your 3yr/36,000 mile warranty, or any auto parts store for a free load test if outside your warranty. Or just proactively replace it if you're outside your warranty because you are hitting the magic 3-year-old 12 volt dying stage.

Probably, when the 12v is low, it off loads things that might be required to gather that information.
As others said, get a new 12v under warranty.

And I'll add, put it on a maintainer whenever you can and you'll get a lot of years of use out of it!

Apparently you drove a road with hair-pin curves, and your stop watch only has one hand!

Also, maybe the screw head on the miles per kWh calculator needs winding since it did not display a number?

Sometime the symbols and icons are confusing, even in airplane emergency pictures!?

I agree the efficiency symbol is weird…not making sense to me for representing miles per kWhr.
