I have many problems with my EX30, but the missing speedo behind the steering wheel isn't one of them. It didn't bother me for one moment.

@@timwolkeMaybe expand on your problems would help others……

@@timwolkewhat are your problems with the car? Thanks

Same. It’s a non issue. Get over it already. It takes just 5 seconds to get used to it.

@@timwolkehave you the blank infotainment screen, 5G and DAB connectivity issues?

Hard to believe you opinion when you can’t even name that car correctly

There is android auto and apple car play...

Yup a b segment car for the same price as a much better bigger car. What is your point ?

Interesting comment: I went for a second hand i3 myself. Quirky, perfect for commuting to work and for city driving. I like the XC 30 but if I were to do many miles, I would probably pick a Tesla

I do love my Model 3 but wish it were a hatchback like my wife’s Golf!

I'm wondering about that too. The Tesla app is pretty amazing.

I would say that the app is very good, because you can set charging limit, AC while you're not in the car etc... On the other hand car software feels unfinished. Still no CarPlay (not very much of a disadvantage considering that Android Automotive works very good) and some bugs which are not fixed atm. Overall I'm satisfied tho, good experience.

The Tesla app is miles better compared to ex30. It feels like a beta software at the moment. The app is buggy and climate control from app is pretty limited

I own my EX30 Twin Motor Ultra since 3 months and the App didn't work a single time. But most of the time that doesn't bother me, because the car is at the workshop due to major software problems anyway.

It feels like a good car with a very poor software on it. It’s just so buggy. The internet connection is bad half of the time the Spotify doesn’t work.

And yet the more expensive Model Y is the bestselling private purchase car in Australia!

It's not a problem if you press the button in clockwise or anticlockwise direction. You just press the button in the same direction you'll be turning the steering wheel. It's a problem if you're looking at it like it's up or down button. So if you're thinking about it in the right way is better then having stocks, because you will always have both hands on steering wheel in roundabout.

@@982ruIt‘s not better, it‘s just cost cutting and with a stalk you also have both hands on the wheel

@@982rucorrect 👍

Enhance Auto the makers of the S3XY buttons have got a prototype ready for mass production.

@@AR-1806 You are starting with left hand on 9 o'clock position and right hand on 3. In a roundabout you turn the steering wheel. Left hand is now on 2 and right hand on 8. You need to indicate, so left hand must release the steering wheel to go fishing for stock, which is at 9. You don't need to let go of steering wheel with buttons. So a side effect of cost cutting is safer driving once you get used to it.

Can't believe you spelled Tesla incorrectly.

Totally agree with your comments. Always the first comment is about the stalks…. Get over it as not an issue.

​@@alastairhatt360don't forget it's a comment from a guy who probably never drove a new Tesla model 3... And yeah they will also say it's cost cutting...lol... A stalks??? Because it's so hard to do the math. Autonomous driving doesn't really make sense with stalks. BTW I had absolute 0 problem getting used to not having them and ainthink it adds to minimalism of Tesla that I also really like...

because the base Volvo is very striped of equipment...I think she mentions this in the video... although believe it would be more accurate to mention lower price of Volvo and also lower equipment

@@freddykrueger79 in what way is it stripped of equipment?

@@Andy-zi1wj the base price below tm3 is: for core model with lowest level of equipment... you then have plus which believe most people will buy that in Portugal is around 3keur more. the base price also for the lfp 330kms battery... for the 400+KMS WLTP similar range to tm3/y rwd you need to go to extended range which is another 5keur... then believe standard price is not comparable with tm3 equipment... believe even the tmy can be more interesting for people who really want crossovers/hatch... personally would prefer the smart 3 in terms of equipment and design (pity it lacks Volvo's google automotive software)

@@freddykrueger79 different spec to UK then as the cheaper car has plenty of equipment

1.) Model Y is a bit more expensive, afaik. 2.) Model Y would completely demolish the Volvo.

Good thing is that the Volvos charging port is in the same location as the model 3, and it has access to many superchargers. It also has a better charging curve than the SR Model 3.

he Volvo Ex30 is very small size as compared to Model 3 specially back sit legg room and bot is very small. Hope you sit at the back and saw the bot very well before you bought your car :D

Safe for a slight advantage in acceleration the Volvo is inferior to even the base Model 3 in every way. Congratulations, you saved a few bucks by getting a car thats quicker off the line but has to charge more often, takes longer to charge and offers less space. And if you cant park a car using 2 eyes, 3 mirrors and 3 cameras along with real-time 360 degree imaging of your surroundings then maybe driving isnt for you.

​@@robertmandl9326have you driven both?

@@EwanM11 I own a 2024 Model 3 Long Range and I have tested the EX30 a few months ago, so yes. I had high hopes for the EX 30 until I saw the price tags and what the base version comes with. As the lady in this video says - when you deck out the EX 30 to an acceptable level you wind up with a price similar to a Model 3 and Y. I´d recommend the EX 30 if Volvo hadn´t gotten so greedy pricing the thing.

The charging time is the exact same as the Model 3 (10-80% in 26 minutes) with the charge port being in the exact same location for supercharger use. It’s also got a better charging curve than the RWD model 3 as it sustains a higher speed for longer. We found the space just perfect for our needs, actually prefer the hatchback size over the longer model 3 after driving it. Visibility was also far better, and there were no creeks or rattles (which I can’t say for either of the two Highlands we drove). The Volvos sound system was also night and day compared to the SR model 3 which lacked a sub and any decent base. Cars are subjective though, so not going to sit and argue. Enjoy your model 3 man, but I couldn’t be happier with the Volvo and its build quality, safety, tech, performance.

Most car buyers - Model Y is best selling in world. Learn about cost-in-use.

They aren't for boomers.

Massive depreciation? Vs what?

Sounds like you are in a poor financial situation

Just like ICE cars

@@ObiePaddles they don't loose anything like as much as EVs.. They do depreciate a lot after purchasing new but nothing EVs... Which are of course even more to purchase in the first place and much harder to resell used ..

Tesla doesn’t lose 50% in 18 months.

So? An odd desire for attention and the inabilty to learn something new is NOT a convincing statement in favor of the Volvo.

That was the Model S and X that had door-handle problems (long since resolved), not the Model 3. Our Model 3 is going on six years old and has been utterly reliable the whole way.

Any more than the fact the words 'depreciation' or 'insurance' are never mentioned in the fantasy 'real world' these channels live in.

They’re both 40k and electric.

Spend a little more consider a Model Y. Your dog will thank you lots.

We have model Y for that reason. The dog mode is worth a Tesla and if you can get the seats covered it is a no-brainer.

I've got 2.

I've got 2.

@@Nickbaldeagle02 we have a quiet large dog that sits in the boot of the model y. You can get complete covers for the rear seats of a model 3. But get the model Y!

Scandinavian design is never cheap! Both cars designed by Scandinavians, both from Volvo.

vw, bmw and mercedes actually just got fined for collusion

Was waiting for that spelling correction.

It's not for boomers who are coming to the end of their driving life.

You get used to it almost immediately, then you never think about it again. We’ve had a Model 3 for six years and it’s simply not an issue.

Good luck selling a hybrid in a few years, you won't be able to give them away

... so you get a car that, in a similar configuration, costs as much as the Model 3 but is overall smaller? Why would anyone go for such a deal, especially when considering size isn't the only thing the Model 3 offers more of?

I priced up a model 3 to match the spec of the my volvo. For it to match, I had to go for the long range (which is still almost a second slower to 60), paint has to be added, upgraded wheels (at least 19” but the Volvo still comes with 20”), white interior, and enhanced autopilot to get auto lane change and park assist. Adds up to costing twice as much per month (at least it did at the time I was looking @ 9% APR).

@@Martin-dx5zs White dirties up quicker, no matter how well you take care of it; manageable, but takes more effort. The bigger the tyres the more they reduce your range. You chose style over practicality - you got yourself a nicer looking car that also costs you more. But more importantly, you made my point at least partially: considering where the Volvo has its base price its almost laughable how expensive it gets when you add the good stuff in - for a car thats factually one class lower and thus, no matter how much you deck it out, will at the very least always offer you way less space to work with. How´s the smart phone app? Noone ever mentions those on cars like Volvo. Do you have integrated cameras that double up as both dashcams and as an extra alarm / safety system when the car is parked? Can you access said cameras through the app? Do you get real-time tracking of your cars position and basic status on the app? Does the Volvo save multiple driver profiles which include mirror, wheel and seat adjustment as well as driving settings? Does the Volvo come with a small touchscreen in the back for both infotainment and air vent control? I could go on. You see, there are MANY reasons why the Model 3 is more expensive, the least of which is being a bigger car. I´m waiting for your reply.

Christ, is there no self awareness that different folks may like different things lol? That’s certainly one thing I prefer on the Volvo front is the lack of a strong fanboy base. If you are genuinely interested vs just arguing, the EX30 app does highlight the real time location of the car, allow for pre heating and cooling as well as cycling fresh air through the cabin. It also allows the windows to vent. While I will miss the built in dash cam functionality, the Volvo does have cameras all round which allows for a Birds Eye view and 360 view camera which I much prefer over the Tesla vision. It also has ultrasonic sensors and a bumber cam. The car comes with 4 years free 5G connectivity, it automatically calculates routes and plans chargers accordingly (stating accurately the arrival percentage, time needed to charge at each step…). I can also specify which charging networks I want to display (for example, only using public superchargers). The volvo infotainment also has app support, so I natively can run Waze, Chrome, Google Maps, Amazon Prime, KZfaq… Again, I ain’t looking for arguments or petty comparisons. I simply stated that for my personal tastes and needs, the Tesla cost more and had worse build quality, worse sound system, worse performance (literally twice as slow to 60) and lacked features like a 360 cam, lane change assist, and auto park. But as it’s all personal preference, I understand why others would like something else too.

The EX30 I’ve ordered also has electric seats, with memory function and driver profiles. The car comes with a proximity key, as well as RFID cards that work similar to the Tesla, and a future update will bring phone support to unlock and start the car. There is also no on/off button, the car automatically starts when you get in, and turns off when you leave. There’s also a camp mode like option to keep the ac running. Volvo also provide OTA updates on a 6-8 week cadence of which they have a great track record with. But again, I have a hunch that you are not genuinely interested and instead just arguing over what car people prefer and should buy, so I’m going to disable notifications for this thread. Honestly man, glad you’re happy with your car and enjoy it

Myth. Every year Tesla wins in customer satisfaction surveys and in conversions and retentions. Bloomberg bears surveyed Model 3 owners and got a 98% 'would buy again' rating! Model Y is best selling car in the World...

Our Model 3 is six years old and QC is excellent. Never a problem.

Get an ICE and leave us peacefully 😂

Sounds like you are poor. That's ok and fine to admit.

Did you get gapped by an EV?

No it won't. People are slaves to oil and love paying 80 % tax
