R2 teething/early issues -- Talk about your post-delivery concerns or headaches

[Josh X]

Tried both SanDisk Extreme Pro 1Tb and now on Samsung T7.

Different cords with and without angled connection.

‘My R2 had this issue with an SSD I have but worked fine with a USB 3.2 Flash drive. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I've had the same issue you reported with it randomly saying it's not connected. I've been using a microSD connected via USB-C reader though so figured that was my issue. I'm starting to believe that there may just be a bunch of bugs with Gear Guard since this is its first time on an R2. I've had issues with motion cam turning off/on at home, randomly not coming on when it should be, etc

Sounds like R2 GG is in mid-season form already, no warmup required

Update: Rivian is having my car flat-bedded to the Atlanta Service Center tomorrow.

It appears that an ECU/Zonal module is faulty as its not just the subwoofer and blind spot view as I thought, its all things under the "Autonomy -> Obstacle Avoidance" sub-menu, which includes blind spot view.

They also plan to replace the defective subwoofer.

So you have the zonal module failure in common with Jose from RivianTrackr.

Edit: You already know this.

Two different R2 owners cars got repaired:

J000001 White R2 is repaired and back on the road per this Reddit post.

J000001 on Reddit: The root cause they diagnosed was a sensor failure internal to the rear drive unit. They replaced the drive unit. It took a week for the repair (most of the time waiting for the part) but happy to have it working now.

Also California Gold's R2 in the other thread was also repaired per his report:

Some good news for me. They fixed my issue. The charge port harness had a fault which needed to be replaced and they verified that my HV battery pack was in good health. I get the car back tomorrow!

All in all very satisfied with Rivian's support on this and the quick turnaround of 1 week.

Rivian messaged me yesterday promising to call me today with what their diagnostics found how long to fix.

They just called and basically said a lot of words to basically say that they still have no idea what’s causing the problem or what parts are needed. 🫠

Before they told you something about an ECU/zonal module failure. Are they walking that back now?
