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.

owns 80% of Volvo!!
EVs: Here's a big touch screen for you to use while you're driving.
Can't speak to how Volvos software works, but there's not much reason to ever "use" the screen in sense of needing to press buttons on it while driving a Tesla.
As mentioned earlier the steering wheel and stalks have some controls, and the few remaining things are easily doing via voice.

And let's not forget the forced updates that automatically install themselves without the owner's consent.
I'm fine with OTA updates if they improve functionality or improve the user experience. I'm just saying that having to update more often just for the sake of updating isn't necessarily a benefit. I don't get excited every time Windows wants to install some unknown update, why would I get excited for my car to do the same?
EDIT regarding heat pump:
That article is referring to the UK/EU base model with a 51kWh battery, which won't be offered in the US.
Just one example:

Also, can somebody tell me if you need your own charging cables at stations? Asking cause I'm not sure if I need to buy charging cables in case I decide to go with the Model 3. And, how do people living in apartments charge their cars?
This car is designed by Geely, in China, where it's also manufactured....and then they slap a Volvo badge on it... the same Geely platform is also being sold as a Zeeker model and a Smart model as well in other countries.
And the safest cars on the road according to NHTSA are all Teslas-- lowest chance of injury of any vehicles they've ever tested.

moot point. it's not like after they were bought out by ford then geely, they became rubbish quality and unsafe death traps.
in fact, I'd say after the geely acquisition, their styling and interior quality have gone up to. I was never attracted by the old boxy wagon designs but adore all the newer volvo's. especially the v60 wagon
furthermore, his use of market cap to gauge the quality of the car is just plain retarded.
