Just got my warning today - wrinkle...... I live in Puerto Rico and we have no service center here. Sooooo.....

I saw some people mention a battery tender as a way to make sure you can limp along, did that work? Willing to jerry rig pretty much anything to keep this rolling along.

I have to order batteries either from Rivian or Ommu and install them myself, period. So, hopefully I can clear the codes or whatever.

Question - if you can't clear the code but have replaced the batteries - do they function normally? I can live with that error so long as the truck starts and drives fine.

Lost regenerative braking, 1 foot driving, and stability control yesterday.

Apparently the AI Rivian reputation bots wander this forum and were unhappy about anyone posting that $1,000 for a battery is retarded.

In the cars defense...it was raining so who knows...
