Polestar and Volvo could step away from traditional gas car design language. For this car you have a pointless for function long hood. You suffer inside because of that misplaced priority with the unnecessary limitation of back seat legroom and less wheelbase. An MG4 is the car to compare for current design of an ev. Good rear legroom. It's got a 2705mm wheelbase vs. 2650mm for this Volvo. 2 inches right there. 4287mm length vs. 4233mm for the EX30. The difference shows in the back door dimension.

Great car, only problem was the dual side draft SU carbs.
Required constant tweaking.
Tesla also uses Chinese battery for Canada or Europe market....
leg room.
Glad to see sane pricing though.

Current sales figures and trends do not support this claim.

IEA says by 2030 more than 60% of new vehicle sales will be EVs.
Tesla also uses Chinese battery for Canada or Europe market....
For clarity- Tesla uses Chinese batteries for the non-performance Model 3- Performance versions of that model (and all versions of the Y) use US batteries- as does the Semi and Cybertruck is expected to as well. S/X use batteries from Japan.
How long did you try the tesla for?
Radio can be controlled with steering wheel buttons (or you can just use voice command "Play X" and it'll play it)--- climate again voice command > physical buttons 'Set temp to 69' and let auto do its thing.
They also just recently did a SW update to let you configure a lot more things to be controlled by the steering wheel buttons, user can pick what.
I too thought I'd miss buttons when I moved from my Lexus, but I really don't- most things are just set to auto (temp, lights, etc) and you leave em there....
I just can't see myself buying this over the competition. It's a long wait with little info when you could get something like a leaf that might not have as much luxury but at least it's a proven product that can be serviced. Or step up to a Model 3/Y with a tax credit, or get an ID.4. I'll pass on cheap mystery cars that try to hype me up with top trim specs and bottom trim pricing.
