Isn't the SSD on the M1s soldered on, like all the other components? Replacing it would involve replacing the entire motherboard, right, or am I missing something?

Yep. I would expect them to either send it off for a logic board replacement or offer you an equivalent model if they have one in stock.

They're likely to just give you a new laptop and send you on your way.
