Bryan's comment in the middle is spot on. Core engine functions should be protected and firewalled to prevent dangerour abuse, but the entire entertainment system should be an app based on current tech (like Android) and therefore capable of modification. It would be great if a car company could update it over the air for years, but most companies lose the incentive to improve their products once sold. So the options are a recurring revenue model to maintain updates, or an open system that allows users to improve it. Mazda also needs to figure this out and stop fighting against their lead users who have hacked and improved their entertainment system (e.g. by delivering Android Auto long before Mazda itself did). Imagine an eco system where users could modify their (non-safety related) vehicle systems and the car companies could use these ideas to integrate functionality back into their models. For example, most cars could support recording of rear cameras to cover half the potential for accidents. Yet few companies do this, or allow others to do it. Instead parallel systems must be installed. :(

Thank you for mentioning the relative high difference when seated. Almost everybody considers height with seating, but few think about proportions to height. Your simple demonstration says it all in one picture. Speaking of which, only a few manufactures are considering femur length when it comes to seat cushions for front seat passenger. But no manufacturer yet makes a rear seat cushion that slides forward. As for the roof line, the slope cuts into the much needed head room and defeats the SUV/crossover purpose. The XC 40 makes a lot more sense that this car. On the bright side, the blue carpet is a unique and welcome change. But no glass roof cover is unacceptable, especially for the entire southern U.S. The overhead sun would beat down on your head and make it feel like a greenhouse. You'd need the full AC most of the year, and drain the battery.

It looks like a great car, the blue interior carpet looks out of place to be honest, and will probably act like the lava orange interior in that it will always look "dirty". As for the added weight discussion, the car is prepared for the extra weight. As a mechanic in Volvo I know the XC40 pretty well and if you compare the parts fitted in a XC40 with an ICU to the electric ones, the brakes, suspension etc are not the same. The suspension, for example, is stiffer to make up for the extra weight and the lower center of gravity. But it was a great video and I would like to see a discussion video between Thomas and Brian about the handling of EV's compared to non-EV's.

You are both correct....weight low down does improve handling, but then Lotus' whole philosophy is "adding lightness". You would expect that the engineers have designed all wear-out items to take into account the extra weight, tyres should be specific to an EV they have more solid sidewalls. What influence the bean-counters have tho is the issue there.

I'd also be interested to know how a loss of mobile cellular signal impacts the features and usability of the infotainment: For example, does voice control still allow you to control all in-built features when you have no signal?

Yet a low CofG can offset some of that mass "through the seat of the pants" when you're in the car. Mass is definitely something that EV makers (battery manufacturers) need to address

Almost agree 100%, but Björn N tested both the Hyundai headlights (poor results) and how the narrow range of battery temperature affects charging > 100k. The "on paper" 250kW is sadly not all that useful.. But the pros are probably better i e V2L, warranty, true EV platform, super quiet, smooth ride, large interior, bolder design. More minuses: the oem entertainment system and navigation looks OK but dated, bland paint options. /Swede in the market to replace an 14 year old E85 Ford Focus

Does it? Doesn’t it add weight and makes the interior hotter in summer time (more AC use) and just has minimal impact on range? It’s 0,2 kW so i cant Imagine any noticeable effect. What’s ur experience? Really interested!
@funkyfin3023 2 жыл бұрын
@@autogefuehl thanks for that. I have copied this from Hyundai: “The Ioniq 5 is equipped with a solar roof of the weight of 24 kilograms on the First Edition Project 45. This improves energy efficiency by providing an additional power source. It can prevent battery depletion and extends the range by over 1500 kilometers per year, depending on the local sun exposure in which the customer lives.” This adds just over 4 kilometers a day but means I can run dashcams etc without running down the battery. Its weight is at the top of the car, which will slightly shift the center of gravity of the car upwards. It also helps when running Vehicle To Load when camping etc. Hyundai don’t say how much it costs as it’s only fitted as standard to the P45 and not an option yet. It is not a 2 way solar roof so the interior of the car is unaffected and doesn’t overheat. I guess the cost and weight will come down and will be more attractive over time, I used to live in Sydney and you wouldn’t add a sunroof or moonroof as it made the car very hot in summer as your review points out. It explains why so many vehicles in Australia are white!

Volvo originally created the Polestar finish to distinguish its very high-end models. Today, it has become a fully-fledged brand oriented towards all-electric vehicles and an Internet sales system very similar to that of Tesla. The Volvo brand continues to operate with a classic network model. For this new C40 model, the positioning is not so clear... it's a Volvo on the badge but you have to order it on the net. I think it would have been born under the North Star... unless Geely prefers to solve the ban on sales in France because of Citroën and the logo first? Hmm 🤔
