I texted my salesman. He replied, "Yeah. Once the car gets to a certain battery level that message won't go away even though the battery is perfectly fine. Really frustrating. I will check with my manager tomorrow to see what needs to be done." WTF?
Any experiential forum feedback on this issue? Is there a DIY reset, maybe? I'm sure it'll all get worked out tomorrow, but nothing beats first-hand experience. Thanks, in advance!

WTF indeed - a bad battery that soon after delivery? Any ideas as to the root cause?
