I don't think it would work to leave...
It'll be interesting what options are for 12v replacement when more R1 are out of warranty. The rate these batteries goes bad mean this might need to be something changed annually - on dual 12v battery vehicles that's going to be the cost of 5-10 years of ICE oil changes.
Sorry, yeah my post wasn't clear - I had the warning just after new years and tech came out two weeks later and swapped batteries.
So that was 2024 model built in Dec2023 with a 12v that lasted barely a year.
Has anyone vehicle been bricked recently after getting the 12v warning to urgently schedule service?
Sounds like Rivian has a whole team of people monitoring 12v batteries, issuing warnings, scheduling appointments. You'd think the software has improvements for this too.
I wonder if Rivian is...
