Did the software update to 2022.15.0 yesterday afternoon. Drove home and parked it. Got in this am to take the kids to school and saw this new dash light indicating some type of battery issue... this dash light isn't even contemplated in the Owners Manual p 78-81?

I called service and sent them this photo. No help yet. Any ideas?

If you have a multimeter you could check the voltage of the 12V battery via the cables available by the trailer hitch. See page 193 of the owners guide.

Thanks @Riviano - I parked the truck for about 30 minutes to get groceries, got back in, and noticed some different options with the backup camera.... and this orange battery indicator light is now gone as well? I had messaged my guide earlier today, and he had no idea this light existed, just like the service team. Anyhow, all is well that ends well... for now

how do you get the energy meter there? Would love that...

Press and hold the left button on the steering wheel. It'll cycle through several screen options.

From page 83 of the user guide:

Long-press the left or right thumb control buttons on the steering wheel left controls (4 and 5) to toggle
between viewing the energy graph or map on the driver display.

I also had that same warning light on Friday. I talked to service and they said they’ve seen a few cases where that light came up prematurely and it wasn’t a real issue. They were supposed to review the logs and get back to me (haven’t heard from them yet). Light went away the next day.

Hey @MAR1T welcome! has that been the only issue you've had with your R1T since you took delivery?

Let us know if the light returns @floormat. Hopefully this was a one time thing due to the update.

Thanks! Yeah, that’s pretty much it for problems with the car. There’s a few things I wish worked better though. Voice commands are troublesome and don’t always work well for me. The proximity unlocking of the car from my phone still needs work too. It used to be way to sensitive and would constantly lock/unlock as I walked around the house. That got better with the latest SW, but now sometimes I’ll have to stand at the door for a few seconds before it unlocks. That said, overall it is excellent!

I'd love the ability to de-activate Paak to lock/unlock at home. My tesla could do that and it was great.

I also had a similar experience with the orange battery light. It turned on one morning, I called service but by the afternoon it had turned off so I cancelled the ticket. This happened about a month ago and hasn't occurred again since..

 

[MAR1T]

FYI, service expects that this issue should be fixed in SW version 2022.19. If you don’t see the light again you should be fine. If you get it again, contact service.

Any idea where one could hook up a trickle charger for the 12v? I read someplace that the wires by the hitch are disconnected when the vehicle is "off" or in "sleep" mode.

The 12v batteries are in the frunk - access panel just on the windshield side of the frunk. I expect you could attach a charger to them directly like you would on a motorcycle. But I would think a) that shouldn’t be necessary! B) the hitch jumpers should be active in an emergency. C) if you are storing for a long period there is a setting

Thank you. I was wondering where that warning symbol was. Too bad it doesn't give a voltage.

The battery is in the frunk. Take off the moulding when you open the hood.

I think that is an option on the main screen…or maybe I’m misreading your post.

The lock / unlock proximity is one of the improvements in the next software release. I hope it improves as well!
