I went in to the RIDE menu and reset the warning. There is something wrong with the software update not our batteries. Too high of a percentage of people got this warning within 2 to 3 days of installing the last update. Something is fishy.
You could be correct but I did not want to chance it being 3k miles from home.

My R1S is over 3 years old and almost 50k on it. I was in Florida for a week very hot and humid, did not drive much but it was using energy keeping itself cool. Then came up to MA for the last week, same thing, very hot and humid, not driving much but was keeping itself cool. Thought the extra strain may have exposed a weakness in the battery so had them changed out.

I probably would have made the same call if I was so far from home. Fortunately I was in my garage and have a spare vehicle that I could use. As posted previously, still haven't heard from Rivian on the service request I put in on Sunday. Can't wait to see how all of this shakes out and if there will be a remedy for everyone whose battery is prematurely replaced assuming that's the final resolution.

Got the “replace 12V warning last night”, first available appointment was in over a month. I dropped a text in the app that night and in the morning Louisville co sc messaged back to say they can see me that same morning! They were done two hours later. It helps that I live a few miles away from that SC and, other than the cost, I am very happy with that outcome.
