Man, it’s really dumb that the customer isn’t able to clear this on their own.No, it is not available via RIDE. if you have That Notification it can only be removed by Rivian service. I had it done yesterday as I exhausted all other options.
Just to follow up, I did indeed get a mobile service offer for a week sooner than my service center appointment.
Totally understandable if you are used to changing batteries yourself. Unfortunately this is the norm with a lot of higher end cars, not just Rivian. If your vehicle uses a BLS sensors to monitor the battery, then it will require calibration of some sort when they are changed.
A more paranoid Count would wonder if Rivian is using service revenue to hit quarterly numbers? More likely they changed the warning parameters and/or a lot of people are hitting the 3.5 year mark.
They have played with the BMS to balance responsiveness against vampire drain. And certain OTAs had unintended consequences of higher VD or incorrect BMS. I don’t think it’s malicious or one single cause, but a list of reasons… including platform decisions that may not have been best, but too late to correct except to keep replacing 12V. They have test rigs in their engineering lab, to simulate full cars. But, since they make iterative production changes far more often than legacy OEM, wouldn’t surprise me if that resulted in having larger numbers of edge cases that aren’t tested. Several months ago rumor circulated, allegedly from former employee, that going from dual to single may have been a mistake. Every single production car has a list of likely long term problems. This is probably one the R1 will own. Does Xcare cover 12V? Anyone?
Yes for me
