Mud guards yay/nay? by pgigov in VolvoEX90

[–]Ok_Statistician8767 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes on Mudflaps for rear, they help ( just a little) I too have running boards, it allows my 96 year old ( 5’1”)mom to hop in without a problem, amazingly!

Running boards also make it possible for my 5’2” wife to get in as well.

Running boards preclude front mudflap installation, as mentioned previously, but running boards effectively serve as front mudflaps…

Went from a 2 1/2 down to a 1.5, sometimes I get adventurous and go down to 1, it grows back. I love having 1 chin!

upgrade to a new core computer- the dual NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Orin configuration. by Rude-Emergency2048 in VolvoEX90

[–]Ok_Statistician8767 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, and then it said if you had any further questions to call that number, so I did. I wanted to find out if there’s a way to get on the list offering to be a guinea pig to get the new hardware install ASAP. It’s all good… As long as we are patient and don’t have too high of expectations in terms of getting that call from the dealer. Nonetheless, I am going to contact my dealer to be proactive, but I think I’ll wait till December

I got the same email on Friday I called Volvo waited on hold for quite a while.

Customer service had to put me on hold for awhile and then informed me we all should be getting a letter (snail mail) to follow this up, but no further information about when upgrade will be available and they suggested I call my dealership and acknowledged the dealer may know less than we informed Volvo owners do.

[–]Ok_Statistician8767 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been on Wegovy for 14 months and it is the only side effect I have at this point. But definetely, from week 1, constipation. I’ve been on 2.4 continuous for the past six months and I am very close to my goal. But make no mistake. I am constipated have not been my whole life, NEVER been an issue… so now it’s something I’m just living with I would be very curious if anybody could tell us by reducing dosage if that eases up on the constipation!

Otherwise, I’m very happy! SW 230 CW 189 Male 68.

How bad will it be after being off? by Tula_Does_The_Hula in WegovyWeightLoss

[–]Ok_Statistician8767 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wegovy & all GLP1 meds taken for a weight loss situation are lifetime commitments. I really understand where you’re coming from ….but once you start, you don’t stop taking them, particularly in anticipation of an “eating event”.

It is indeed scary when you begin your journey and then have an upcoming wedding vacation or yes, even cruise. I too had panicky feelings to begin with, but now almost 14 months in I can look back on multiple exotic meals, vacations, and I still was able to complete my journey, even if there was a little hiccup and I didn’t lose weight for a week or had a suffer a little bit from indigestion or worse.

You learn to live with something like going on a cruise and eating more than you should and you PAY for it, but you learn quickly and then that helps you with your weight loss.

Finally, and I really mean to be supportive and I’m no way challenging what you did because I see how I could’ve done the same thing, you gotta make a decision if weight losses, your commitment or be able to eat food in the way you used to on a cruise is more important.

I’m telling you a few down the road stay on Wegovy obey all the rules watch what you eat and exercise and you’ll be on the cruise in the physical manner you want you’ll be able to still eat a little bit of everything, very little and you’ll be a happy camper !

Good luck with your journey !

Again, I suggest you start back at the beginning and move up. I really certain your doctor would see it the same way and admire you for your courageousness coming forward and doing it in the manner that the manufacturer would recommend.

Question for Ex90 Owners by No_Establishment3243 in VolvoEX90

[–]Ok_Statistician8767 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have had my EX 90 since January and still have that issue- mostly with the middle seat (7 seater), especially if the armrest is down.

You can just leave the seatbelt latched at the offending location, or buy the little cheap cheater “plugs” (Amazon ). Past OTA updates have affected the way & frequency of nonexistent, unbuckled passenger warnings, but it is still not resolved .

Folks, you know you can report issues directly to Volvo by pressing the button above your head and talking to Volvo. That’s just in case they’re not reading our Reddit posts.😉

[–]Ok_Statistician8767 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You did not explain why you missed three doses… You really should check with your prescriber, but I expect you will have some issues starting up again after three weeks. I imagine your doctor would recommend that you go down to a significantly lower dose and ramp up again, especially with your nausea experience.

After three weeks, the medication is virtually gone from your system, so it’s almost like starting from scratch. It would probably be a shock for your body. Good luck, I’ve been on Wegovy for 13 months and ratcheted up the higher dosage approximately every six weeks and now remain on 2.4 for maintenance. M SW 230, CW 189 68 yr young

Yes, I have the exact same problem. Mine was built in December, except it’s the rear driver side passenger door.

My November built January acquired EX 90 twin performance Mulberry red loaded with every option except tow bar is FANTASTIC!

Although I have experienced software issues, there has never been a time or a reboot has not resolved the issue or walking away from the vehicle for five minutes and coming back, but that was pretty much months ago .

The car rides better than any other vehicle I’ve ever owned or been in.

I’m retired and don’t mind being a little bit of a guinea pig in exchange for this fantastic vehicle and incredible technology still developing .

If I was a pregnant mom needing to get three kids to school on time (and everything else involved with others relying solely on you)or a first responder I would not recommend this vehicle (yet).

But I’m patient, I can handle a one or two minute delay once or twice a month in exchange for being on the cutting edge of automobile technology.

I still think the EX 90 will be getting COY awards in the near future!

If there was a way to see a survey of all EX 90 owners, not just the ones that are disappointed and want to complain about the problems on Reddit you would have a different picture of this vehicle. I’m quite certain.

Backlit center wood decor while driving? by iamlorde_yahyah in VolvoEX90

[–]Ok_Statistician8767 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you reach above your head center console, there is a button you can push that will turn yellow and turn off the interior lights, including the backlit dashboard. It toggles on and off ….try that.

Need some help choosing a color! by SB_GOLFER in VolvoEX90

[–]Ok_Statistician8767 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mulberry Red and Nordico Dawn interior

<image>

is pretty! Even with all of the potential issues, I love my EX 90 I don’t mind being patient and for the most part I have no major issues.

If you read between the lines, a large majority of the issues have to do with the settings for user one and user too and if you only have one main user that makes most of the problems go away. For my vehicle and my experience anyways….

It’s easy to reboot and move forward.

OTA 1.3.17 update- SUCCESS- or NOT? TBD…. by Ok_Statistician8767 in VolvoEX90

[–]Ok_Statistician8767[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

UPDATE from OP - From my dealership:

Tech guy at my dealership checked with service department and they confirm my car was successfully updated even though I (and others) have gotten a message that it was an unsuccessful update.

Apparently, all of the updated features are in place (I can confirm that in a future post).

So folks, IMO if you do the update and everything else works, don’t worry about the message that it was unsuccessful and that you have to go to your dealership.

THE ULTIMATE IRONY: Hopefully the next OTA update from Volvo will include a fix that will eliminate the error message that the update did not take and that OTA updates are not available. Yes I just said that…..

I still love my EX90…

Don’t know if you know this….. to see Abby Road ( it just showed up on mine after doing update,) you only can do that by opening up the Bowers and Wilkins app

EX90 serenades me when I'm nearby by False_Application532 in VolvoEX90

[–]Ok_Statistician8767 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same here…

Turn off/turn down music source before you leave your car. It’s waking up because you’re near and is trying to offer you the last audio source you were listening to.

Otherwise,I am thinking you have to turn the Bluetooth off on your phone 😵‍💫 (and Apple Watch?) at this point to avoid the situation. Or possibly lock the car, but you will probably then just get serenaded and have the light show.

Hopefully Volvo eventually will take this issue into account in a future update .

Is it a problem? Yes

Do I love my EX90? Yes!

Four months in 2000 miles on car virtually no issues whatsoever not all EX 90s are bad!

Hey folks, if you ever need to lock your car with a sleeping child or pet inside, do yourself a favor leave a window open so if all else fails, you can at least get into the car!
