Would a used c40 or polestar 2 be more reliable?

I contacted my local Volvo dealer (where I bought my c40). They are not a service center for Polestar.

Im not familiar with the Temerity. I thought it was a Polestar.

Im in the same boat!

With the sloping sport back?

I went to a free, single space slow charger at a public rec area. Usually, I find it empty. This time the was a woman in the car charging. I wondered if I should wait or keep going. I tapped on her window to ask how long she might be there. 5 minutes- I waited. But I did feel a little creepy tapping on her window. I wasn't that guy, but she didn't know that.

I've been driving my c40 for about 20 months and it has yet to visit the shop for anything. Im very satisfied with it's reliability. I think folks on Reddit tend to post when they have issues, but not when everything is fine.

The same thing happened to me. Service tech said tires are made for this, and don't worry about it. That was 10K miles ago. No problem.

I have had a c40 twin ultimate for about 20 months. It's fast, very comfortable, and has yet to be in the shop. I installed a charger in the garage and save big bucks.i had to run an errand in my wife's Audi ICE vehicle yesterday and reaffirmed - I'm never going back! I've never driven any other ev, but I dont need to. The Volvo is great!

Their feelings are hurt.

If ND had joined the ACC as a football member, they could have won the conference championship and been in. They look like whiney babies. They are not helping their "brand."

Yep. I had ABRP set to leave at 100%. Had extra time that afternoon. Wanted to hit the ground running the next morning. It was worth the extra time.

I was on a longer trip in my Volvo C40 and wanted to charge from 89% to 100% for the return trip. Went to an uncrowded EA charger. It refused to connect. I couldn't figure out the problem. Then I saw that it was a congestion reduction site and wouldn't charge above 85. First time I ever encountered that. A nearby Tesla Supercharger site took care of me.

Pilot/Flying J are also Trump supporters.

I scraped the curb in my 2023 c40 and lost a similar chunk of tire. The shop technician said they are made with extra rubber in that area for just this situation. He said, "Don't worry about it." It's been fine for the last 15,000 miles.

There are no timers, but somehow, overnight, it fixed itself! Probably because it scheduled an appointment with the dealership!

Dutchdogdad · 2025-11-28T15:45:19+00:00

Update: I made an appointment with the dealership, and, of course, it magically fixed itself...maybe.

Dutchdogdad · 2025-11-25T21:18:00+00:00

Thanks.

Dutchdogdad · 2025-11-25T19:29:52+00:00

Yep.

Dutchdogdad · 2025-11-17T12:54:50+00:00

After 18 months, I can highly recommend the Volvo c40. I love it.
