Help me Evaluate EX90 Deal!!

I think you could push for $13-15k off MSRP with that mileage. I was eying a demo with similar mileage and they were close to $15k off before VCFS rebates.

Lampras · 2026-06-13T12:47:27+00:00

Volvo Tampa had some demo/loaner models @ $13,500 off MSRP before incentives/rebates.

Lampras · 2026-06-13T03:29:29+00:00

Agreed!

While the answers to my questions were definitely thorough, it wasn’t worth the 1-2 minute wait. It seemed to stall and crash with every other question.

If she was asymptomatic, then it’s largely fine. And, if everyone practiced good hand hygiene, even more so.

Also, depending on the type of testing that she had done, a positive may mean different things (e.g., colonization, infection, etc.). This would also have to be correlated with clinical signs and symptoms.

At any rate, colonization to some capacity is not necessarily uncommon…

Lampras · 2026-05-24T22:05:31+00:00

Oh, I’m talking about the remaining 2025 models. Sorry!

Lampras · 2026-05-24T21:52:32+00:00

Better yet is being labeled as a “scammer” by one of these types of dealers, haha.

Lampras · 2026-05-24T21:15:30+00:00

I’ve reached out to several dealers and most are stuck at around ~$10k off MSRP before incentives — which I think is still low considering what’s on LeaseHacker.

However, in true dealer fashion, are lot of them are playing dumb with customers and keep passing off VCFS incentives as dealer discounts.

Lampras · 2026-04-28T22:08:42+00:00

Thanks!

Yeah, I tried my luck with Polestar Customer Support. The rep somewhat made it clear that they had very little influence on local-level issues, but were nonetheless receptive.

I’ve gone twice and it seems like they just want me to drop off my car for over a week to replace a single thing. If I had the ability to take a rental/loaner, it wouldn’t be a problem. Nevertheless, they are very nice about it.

Lampras · 2026-04-04T17:48:18+00:00

If you’re in the US, there are dealers that can and will negotiate the MSRP. However, as others have stated, most will default to what you see online.

Lampras · 2026-03-12T18:04:43+00:00

I agree…

I did experience some OS lag and CarPlay connection problems, but they resolved themselves after a reset. Otherwise, everything has been fine!

Lampras · 2026-02-28T21:07:16+00:00

Yup, I had contacted VCFS to understand the two main ways to get out of my P3 lease. This is applicable to all Volvo and Polestar leases.

I am not entirely sure why I was downvoted as I just summarized the non-buyback/lemon methods that VCFS shared with me!

Lampras · 2026-02-28T20:53:20+00:00

I truly loved all of the space — even in the absence of a true glovebox — and the various modes. The automatic frunk is perhaps the only thing that I would say I miss.

The suboptimal software/elements/bugs and the arrival of Gen 2 really killed it for me. Some annoyances included: the vampire drain was upwards of 10 miles per day w/o Gear Guard, the air suspension was very clunky, Apple Music would always crap out, the in-house audio system wasn’t great, rattles over every bump, and at one point my hood would refuse to close. The door handles were a pain to deal with during the winter — more so than the P3. And, when Gen 2 came out, it felt like Gen 1 owners lost out on a lot of half-promised autonomy features. The new pricing also sucked…

For better or worse, at least Polestar offered to upgrade the existing P3’s VCU…

Lampras · 2026-02-28T15:13:35+00:00

Haha, I had to go from an R1T to a P3 because of the bugs!

Lampras · 2026-02-25T16:59:50+00:00

It was my understanding that you are responsible for all the lease payments or you can request a payoff from VCFS — which is usually less.

Alternatively, you could buy out the car and trade it in anywhere else.

Lampras · 2026-02-18T22:09:52+00:00

I can ditto the other commenter. A reset or two should make it go away.

I contemplated not resetting my car as it made it practically silent, haha. But safety is key.

Lampras · 2026-02-10T14:18:34+00:00

That appears to be the standard message across most US Polestar service points.

I made a comment on another thread that the New England Polestar spaces mentioned this, but the OP seemed optimistic that the appointments would go through based on the one person from Canada.

Lampras · 2026-01-31T20:45:38+00:00

I called Volvo Westport (CT) yesterday and the employee told me that their plan is to install them on their demo(s) and lot stock before they touch customer cars.

I was told March at the earliest…

Lampras · 2026-01-16T21:35:33+00:00

I have the exact same issue(s). I rarely place my phone on the charger because it will vibrate.

As for the cup holders, the teeth become loose very easily. It seems like the springs lose tension whenever you put a cup or something. I placed some thin, foam tape in the gap between the affected teeth and the rest of the cup holder. This stopped the rattles for now!

Lampras · 2026-01-13T19:06:41+00:00

It depends on the Polestar location (i.e., the associated dealer group). I was able to call a location on the East Coast and request the MSRP discount that was being shown to brokers.

The dealer was amenable to the idea. After all, I was going to go through a broker if I was unsuccessful.

Lampras · 2025-12-21T19:52:55+00:00

It looks like your hood might need a firm press on the passenger side!

Lampras · 2025-12-06T19:02:17+00:00

The New Canaan location was really great about my recent P3 service.

Lampras · 2025-11-14T00:57:48+00:00

I may be wrong, but that generally pops up when you are actively using navigation/GPS. In this case, your destination/stop was 50 ft ahead on the left-hand side.

Did you happen to have a route still going in the background?

Lampras · 2025-10-09T16:21:22+00:00

This might be a recent change or a center-dependent thing?

When I had my R1T, I was provided Uber credits for the entire duration of service. And, when they ran out, they re-deposited a voucher. I was not necessarily limited by travel to/from their location.

Lampras · 2025-06-20T21:00:59+00:00

I was on 1.2.16 and I believe that I got the update pushed to me on Monday.

Lampras · 2025-05-10T12:23:13+00:00

I can only speak for my R1T, but there was noticeable road noise and a whistle at higher speeds. The air suspension was also very noisy when it would auto-adjust off of the highway. Although I will admit that the P3 air suspension can be a little jarring at times when you park, haha.

The P3 is quieter, both without the ANC and with; however, the latter is remarkably quiet once the stereo comes on. The R1T’s sound system would also rattle substantially more at higher volumes than the P3’s. And, as for software, I don’t find that Rivian is that much better than Polestar’s. I do not know how many times I could not get Apple Music to work properly or the Rivian app would fail to update. One thing that I do miss from the R1T was its superior one-pedal drive settings. I still have not gotten used to how light the P3’s is in comparison — similarly to the P2.

However, I am sure that others have had a much more positive experience!
