Oh boy, condolences. TL;DR: Probably looking at a few weeks min. Likely need a module replacement. Got one done on mine in early Dec., been fine since. Good luck. Thread posted above has all the 'gory details!'

Thanks I thought so. Always good to ask.

No, it's not always a battery module.

It's a general fault that the dealer can analyze to pinpoint the problem.

It could be a battery, or software, or module, or drives system.

Don't panic, it sometimes comes up due to glitches too.

Have your dealer check it out, if it is a battery module they can give you a timeframe for parts. Changing them only takes 2 days.

Got the News today, It is a high-voltage battery that needs to be replaced looks like she is down for the count and lost this match. Anyway, I hope mine is in the rare, it was built in October 2022 so I hope everyone in that build frame doesn't encounter what I am going through. I also had the battery software updates before this happened months ago at the dealership with the other CSPs.

As long as you have a competent dealer you will be just fine. I don't think there's a lot of bad battery modules out there, just random failures that can happen.
There are a lot of sensors built in to the units to warn of impending problems and prevent damage, I wouldn't worry about it.
The timeframe all depends on your dealer and the availability of a module.
