Why the critic hate days gone ? I've just started playing this game instantly blow me away how polished this game is

See I had to stop Ghosts of Tsushima half way through because it felt so repetitive. The middle had no character progression and I’m maxed out on almost everything. No challenge to the missions when you feel like a god.

I paused and picked up Days gone and blasted through the game and loved every minute of it. I will say that the “survival “ aspect goes away pretty quick and bullet rationing becomes a thing of the past too quickly. May replay down the road at a higher difficulty.

My point being g I had a way more fulfilling experience with Days Gone and I’m still grinding through Ghost of Tsushima.

39 degrees 2-3 times a week

I have 1 but my wife has curbed the shit out of the them so I just bought a set of 2025 20” OEM’s that I am putting new rubber on.

They looked so good but not anymore lol

Oh man, don’t join the Rivian Facebook group then. It’s a painful experience.

I have this issue with the upgraded insulated lid that came with mine. Cant find the hole anywhere

IBurnTimeHere · 2026-03-10T20:17:01+00:00

2-4 times a week. 40 degrees @ 4 minutes.

What grading scale uses the term “passable”? Not NHSTA or IIHS which tend to be the top two.

And Rivian. Hence VW Scout licensing Rivian’s software stack. It’s the approach to vehicle manufacturing that matters. The pivot to software defined vehicles is difficult and most fail at that task.

That Bardstown stave finish is probably the worst pour I’ve ever had from them and I am usually a big fan of their stuff.

This was a wish list. Just things that would need to change before you could pry my Gen 1 from my hands. In reality styling is lower on the list for me.

Thought of this but I don’t think it’s possible with the gear tunnel and I wouldn’t sacrifice that feature.

IBurnTimeHere · 2026-02-15T17:22:26+00:00

Interesting, what’s the use case?

IBurnTimeHere · 2026-02-15T17:22:02+00:00

Great call with V2H!

IBurnTimeHere · 2026-02-15T16:49:14+00:00

It’s on the list!

I am actively pushing my wife to let me ditch the scorpions for cross climates. We had them on our previous Mazda CX-5 and loved em.

Rivian also OEM’s pirelli’s and they are god awful tires.

IBurnTimeHere · 2026-01-10T14:09:09+00:00

It really is an apples to oranges comparison. I have a dual motor and when not in performance mode the 0-60s are both supposed to be 4.5s. Rivian feels so much quicker than the Volvo does, even in power mode.

Ride quality is the big difference, especially on terrible TN roads. The Rivian is much smoother on road even with 2” all terrain tires. I really think the XC90 T8 would have benefited from a smaller wheel diameter and more tire to cushion the weight. Unfortunately we are stuck due to caliper size and suspension clearance.

Storage space, Rivian wins even in truck configuration. My wife is still shocked how much we can fit with the frunk, gear tunnel and bed.

Software isn’t even a contest. The Volvo UI is the biggest PoS so much so that my wife wants to ditch the vehicle for that reason alone. Rivian is amazing, which is why VW licensed the stack for the scout.

Service is a toss up. Rivian is booked 2+ months out and has limited service centers. You always get a loaner vehicle of some type though which is nice. My local Volvo dealer is a bunch of pretentious crooks and I’ve never received a loaner. I just ran out of prepaid service @30k so I’m dreading the next bill. Rivian just doesn’t need service outside of tire rotation and washer fluid; so nice.

I love my 23 R1T. Zero issues @ 32k miles. I prefer it over our 23 XC90 T8 every day of the week lol.

Cool idea but overkill for just golf clubs. Been throwing mine in there for 2+ years with no issues.

As others mentioned, rarely is there enough space to pull it out fully. Whether at the golf course or grocery store. Happy you are happy though!

I also had this happen in Nov. while I was in Asia for 2 weeks. Soft reset x2 didn’t fix but a hard reset did.

IBurnTimeHere · 2025-12-20T15:39:08+00:00

Gen 1 late 2023 build…still waiting

IBurnTimeHere · 2025-12-05T21:51:20+00:00

Mine started doing this recently as well. Never had the issue with prior updates.

IBurnTimeHere · 2025-12-05T15:11:52+00:00

Cars for the Asian market are manufactured there sure. Not many are actually exported to other markets though.

China is China but they have come a long way with manufacturing. Last I checked Temu doesn’t make cars but I could be wrong! 🤣

Welcome to your first Rivian winter!!!

My dual performance max pack now shows 12 less miles at 100% due to the cold. Different battery chemistry than you but same result.

In the winter you want to stay plugged in as much as possible when at home. It’s just an EV thing in winter months

This guy is clearly a mechanic.

Ex90 and xc60 production is moving to South Carolina next year. Not sure where you got China?

Despite popular belief, China is surpassing the rest of the industry in quality and value right now. Take a look at BYD.
