Ran into someone with a ‘19 Pro and theirs has a Toyota brand battery (true start or some shit). I did not think that was a stock battery. Can anyone clarify? Their vehicle was purchased new so I am unsure why it would have a new battery unless they discharged the stock one so often/badly that it crapped out.

Batteries can go bad at any time, even when new (although it's rare). The True Start Toyota branded batteries are what Toyota dealerships sell through their parts departments. So likely the OE Panasonic battery had a fault and failed quickly before the vehicle was sold, and the dealership replaced it with the battery they sell.
