I installed a Comma 4 in my Gen 1 Rivian last week (with longitudinal harness), with the goal of adding hands-free driving but also improving Rivian's stock ACC behavior, which constantly slows down in corners on our freeway when it doesn't need to. However, I've been very disappointed with the longitudinal behavior.

When there is no lead car and no surrounding cars (rare where I live), it's fine. But when there is a lead car, it leaves a massive gap, and/or when there are cars in the surrounding lanes, it slows or hesitates to pass them, clearly thinking they are either the lead car, or about to merge (they are not).

The pic shows an example of this – my car slowed about 15mph below the set speed and sat behind the cars to the right until the corner straightened, leaving a massive gap to the lead car, and then eventually passed. Cars behind me looked irritated and I had to take over.

I've tried several models, including Dark Souls V2, and they all seem to have this issue. Is this something I should expect to improve over time with new models?

Update: trying a different Rivian-specific branch of Sunnypilot (xnor-dev) that apparently has some longitudinal fixes in it, and these issues seem largely improved! Will report back after more test drives.

Of course I just had it at the service center two weeks ago (2 hours away), had the windshield tinted, and installed a Comma. Hoping this can be repaired!

We just had the seal replaced on our 6 year old Samsung front load washer. It was $400 with labor from a local appliance repair place, and the guy supposedly checked the drum alignment while he was here. We've done a few loads, but on the last load with medium spin, we started smelling a burning smell and stopped the load. There was visible smoke inside the drum when we opened the door, and rubber bits all over.

I took a photo of the area that is rubbing, and a video showing how close the drum comes to that spot even when empty. Is this a shot bearing, or was the seal installed improperly?

This is what I get for trying not to be a terrible consumer and preferring repair over replacement. :-/

Can this be repaired? Brand new Michelin Defender LTX Platinum.

My '22 R1T Quad with ~29k miles had developed significant suspension noises from the front – banging, ticking, chirping, and squeaking (those are scientific terms, for you lay people :P). I'd taken it to another SC in the Los Angeles area, who identified the ticking and some of the banging as half-shaft related and replaced the hubs and added ting washers. However, they insisted the rest of the banging and chirping/squeaking were normal noises from the jounce lines.

I took it to another SC last week (Burbank), and in the ride along the tech agreed those noises were not normal, and since I was on the first revision dampers, jounce lines, and subframe, he'd replace them all. Got the truck back today with new front dampers, half shafts, jounce lines, and front subframe, and all the noises are gone.

The tech went above and beyond too by removing and replacing my 1EV running boards and aero panels, which I assumed I was going to have to reinstall myself.

Nice job Burbank, glad to experience some solid SC customer service!

I've tried this several times in the past hour, and keep getting this error. This is on a Macbook Air, with up-to-date OS. The credit card details I enter for adult verification are correct. Any ideas?

Just got my '22 Quad R1T back from getting paint corrected, ceramic coated, and adding tint – it cleaned up very nicely. :)

Got the following done:

• Two-step paint correction
• XPEL Fusion Plus Premium on paint and wheel faces
• XPEL Fusion Plus Glass coating on all windows
• XPEL Plastic and Trim on all the trim
• XPEL tint on front windows and windshield (70% on windshield)

Not the best weather to test out the tint right now here in foggy SoCal, but very stoked on it overall. The paint cleaned up very well.

Just got my truck back from service (new halfshafts, ting washers, hubs), and I got a really awesome greasy interior upgrade. Interior went in with spotless leather, came back with sloppily applied armor-all-like crap all over most of the surfaces. Ironically, they didn't even vacuum or wash the car, just wiped grease everywhere.

Be sure to ask for this on your next visit so you too can spend another 30 minutes on top of your service appointment travel cleaning your interior! :)
