Impressive price considering the 27.5% tariff.
Fuck Tesla for making an iPad glued to the dashboard the standard and only controls. I hate it so much.
I guess the one small upside to Volvo’s platform is that it is Android Automotive, and unlike Telsa, it has a voice assistant that isn’t trash. So at least you can reliably yell at the thing to turn the heater up.
Actually really like what I see of the EX30 but not seeing anything about the us tax credits for it. The dual motor runs up the price to 45k ish, but would be a steal for 40k.
There is no tax credit as the car is made in China. The fact it is still so “cheap” even with a 27.5% import tax is impressive.
It will be made in Belgium after 2025, at least the european ones.
If onlyit had a more practical interior with buttons and driver’s display

If it runs android automotive 13 you can use the android auto receiver app to enable regular android auto usage. I know Volvo has comfirmed they are working on updating some of their existing cars to AA 13.

Most people want android auto which is akin to apple’s car play. Volvo uses android automotive which is android like you see on phones. They are two different things with very confusing names. Android auto receiver is a first party (Google) app which let’s you use android auto (what people want) on android automotive. However it only works on the newest version of Android automotive.

Yup. Probably same here.
As opposed to regular old Android that every manufacturer is already using?
