“Critical battery issue”

[kanundrum]

Wow hoping it's something very simple but looks like It may not be. Hopefully Speedy service!

I have two interconnected heat detectors that I need to install. I figured I’d install one in our garage and one in our kitchen. That will give us heat monitoring in two places smoke detectors aren’t ideal and if the garage goes off we’ll hear it in the house from the kitchen unit which will sound the alarm, too.

Where'd you get yours from?

I don't mean to hijack this thread, but it's a related PSA and reality check for us all. Does anyone have a good suggestion for a 120v AC plug-in heat detector? I.e. Plug it in where a garage door opener plugs in.

see previous post below…my included battery one is installed…

Man, we are getting a lot of issues already. I am starting to appreciate my back of the line spot.

Moi aussi!

I was enjoying my R1T then this happened! I took delivery on March 20th. Rivian support had me try all reset tricks but nothing fixed it. The truck eventually went dead and I couldn’t even lock the doors. They had it towed and now it is at the service center. It will take them 1-2 days to diagnosis the issue.

I’ll keep you all posted….

Stay strong... early adoption woes

Amazon, so I guess there’s a Rivian tie-in.

This is hard wired with battery backup and meant to be installed on a flat surface so not really plug-in

I really dislike cryptic messages like this. Something flagged this as an issue so give me the info. At least an error code that can be looked up.

What is the loaner truck situation like? An adventure R1T? A competitor’s BEV? A random ICE they took on trade?

They offered me ride share credit, like Uber, but I explained to them I have 3 kids and car seats and I can’t use Uber. They reserved a SUV for me at a local Enterprise but they were closed for the weekends. So they tried finding another Enterprise that was open, which they did, but it closed in 30 mins, so that was not happening. So now I have to wait until Monday for a rental.
I wish they offered me a R1T loaner or even a R1S….hahaha

Dubious further code or info will be provided as no DIY would be wise in this case. EV’s are going to be hard enough for recently trained technicians to safely and accurately diagnose and repair.

OP shared all that is known until Rivian gets to it.

Update: I haven’t heard from Rivian yet but I looked at my app and saw this…

I’ll post another update once I hear from them or see anything different in the app.

Looks like it is something simple! I know when we have errors on most cars these days its ALWAYS (90% of the time) related to bad voltage/current fluctuations in every single device going back from the battery.

Seems like I've seen quite a few issues with the 12v batteries.

Wasn't there at least a rumor that one of the supply constraints in the winter/early spring was 12v battery availability?

 

[Taycanfrank]

Oh boy, the 12v battery issues begin. Many new EVs have gone through this, the iPace and Taycan being two I can attest to.

If that's what it is, the bright side is installing a new 12v will (temporarily) fix it but in those other cases it has been a software issue causing the 12v to drain and took some time to patch.

Well this sucks. I hope for you it’s something simple.

oh snap
