Update.

So.. dropped off my car on 08/18 for 1. Alignment and 2. Panel gap adjustment

They said I should I have my car back by 8/19 EOD. Just messaged me an hour ago that the key fob I left with them would unlock the car but won’t start the car and so they haven’t been able to get any of the work done. They will now try to fix the key fob first thing 8/20.

Off to a great start.

Are you driving an R1 as a loaner?

Update.

Alignment fixed the issue. Rock solid at highway speed now!
Glad to hear it! I'm assuming it just fixed the ping-ponging, right? Or did it also fix the shimmy?
I have the shimmy but it doesn't translate to the wheels so the car is stable in the lane. As a result the service center and I agreed it's probably just a software issue, but they didn't adjust any alignment (not sure if they checked/confirmed existing alignment).

Didn’t fix the shimmy. The shimmy doesn’t translate to the wheels/car so it is unrelated.

They found my car was pulling to the right especially when hitting a bump or undulation. The alignment fixed this issue
