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.

RAM truck recall #2. Also more vehicles recalled than the Bolt recall.

If you cared to do research beyond reading sensationalist headlines, you'd know that EVs are less prone to fire risk than ICE vehicles carrying a dozen or more gallons of highly flammable liquid.

I love Volvos but this needs to be at least the size of XC90 or larger. Maybe some day.

Specifically S, 3, X all made in California. Y is made in both California and Texas.
Semi is currently made in Nevada (and coming to Texas later), and Cybertruck production will be this fall in Texas.

if not then gotta do calculations...
will have to be better and cheaper by 7500 in value then
ill be honest I want a PHEV not a full EV since I still need to travel around.
if an ev I also want the capability to use the car battery as a wall charger because I go camping with built in solar charging on top as an option.
doesn't need to be a lot but you can squeeze at least 200-400 w of charging at least up there.
if you still want a sun roof then it should easily be able to be moved back. as well as a two piece if we want.
lets say avg charge 200 w per hour and 2000 per day counting 10 hrs of sun.
400 would be 4000 per day solar panel setup shouldn't cost more than 500 in parts and labor but considering manufacturers they will charge 2000 at least for it and if it's from apple it would be 5000 or more.
just like the virtual reality headset that costs 500 to make and 3500 sold to public lmao.
81k whr is about the capacity of model y and it gets about 330 miles.
245 w per mile. = 4000/245 = 16 miles a day
2000/245 = 8 miles a day
anyway saves you at least some in case you get stranded
all they need to do is make it like a trickle charger for the system.
if they can do this for the trunk hood and side panels you can definitely get at least 1000 w in an hour and 10k solar per day. that's 40 miles or 5-10 dollars in gas saved per day or 5 dollars in ev charging cost saved per day.
5 x 365 = 1825 per year saved.
or
10 x 365 = 3650 in fuel saved per yr.
this is very very very good for environment.
someone needs to hack a method to charge ev inside the car and with solar panels it'll be perfect.
also a wall outlet in an ev for charging your other devices and using the battery as a lifepo4 battery. whomever designs it this way would get mega props and actually cares about the environment.
all these ev companies want to do currently is make things inefficient and super expensive for no reason other than to make higher profits.
someone clearly has no real experience in a tesla.
I'm a MY owner. everyone tesla owner knows that tesla's numbers are very, very, VERY optimistic.
porsche EVs on the other hand are much more closer to their claimed mileage.

I'm just excited that they're desperate enough for cash that they've licensed out their biggest advantage - the charge plug standard and charging network. If I can keep treading water with my current crappy ICE car, I'll wait long enough for a Ford or GM with the Tesla charging platform.
