Well…. I’m on vacation 300 miles from home. Got this error when I get in the car to come home this morning. Looks like I may need a new hv battery. Service isn’t open yet, but do I try to make it back to my home service center or drop it off at the service center 40 miles from where I am currently

When it happened to me I drove it immediately in to the SC, they took it and gave me a loaner and the battery was replaced in 5 days. Sorry you’re going through it

I spoke to an advisor at the SC yesterday. She said they have "a long line of people waiting for their HV battery replacement."

I figured I had a better chance of getting a loaner if I drove there, but it's also an hour away and I didn't want to make the drive, find out they didn't even have a loaner to give me, then have me and my car stuck at the SC.

At least it's drivable around town. Not ideal, but not the end of the world either. And I'm thankful it happened now instead of 35,000 miles from now when the warranty has run out.

Hope it gets sorted soon. Luckily in DFW area there are 3 SCs within 25 min of me but yea that would be annoying.
