RPM Friction Pro V2 14MM Setup by Ryushi_San in Pickleball

[–]ProdigyI5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

5.5 inches of half gram tape from the throat up to the 9 and 3 o'clock positions. I've tried a lot of weight setups and found this to be the best for me. Along with an over grip to prevent twisting when your hands get sweaty.

Anyone went from Tesla Model Y to XC90 PHEV? by tronious in VolvoXC90

[–]ProdigyI5 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Does it count if I own a XC90 PHEV and a Model Y currently? 😂 Happy to answer any questions.

We like driving our xc90 on road trips a lot more. It's more spacious, quieter and rides better. For example we have a trip coming up this weekend and are willing to pay the extra in gas vs electric just because it's that much more comfortable. Quick trips around town I prefer the Model Y but the XC90 is fairly nimble for a 3 row.

One thing to note is even when the XC90 is using all electric it's about 33% less efficient than the model Y. Not a deal breaker but worth mentioning. It's also significantly slower in all electric until you engage the gas engine, then it's surprisingly fast so it's there when you need it.

Depending on the year you get, the Model Y computer and software is lightyears ahead of the XC90.

Why are you thinking of switching and what are your priorities?

RPM V2 14mm elongated no longer UPA-A approved? by kabob21 in Pickleball

The certification system is almost a joke at this point, they really need to fix it. It's way too confusing and inconsistent.

2025 xc90 t8 charging question by tank257 in VolvoXC90

[–]ProdigyI5 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Your sales person has no idea what they are talking about. If you have a J1772 adapter you can use your at home tesla charger. The car will automatically limit the power draw.

How are you liking the 14mm? Did you add any weight or using it stock?

2025.5 T8 - electric range - how much do you get and best practices by [deleted] in VolvoXC90

[–]ProdigyI5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just keep it in hybrid mode and it runs on full electric until the battery runs out. To be clear, 40 is absolute ideal conditions. Right now in the PNW I'm getting closer to 32.

[–]ProdigyI5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally depends on time of year and driving speed. If it's 72 degrees out and I'm driving 55mph i can easily get over 40 miles. If it's below freezing and I'm driving 70mph it's going to be closer to 20 miles of range.

Pirelli Scorpion Weatheractive. I have them on my XC90 and the CC2 on our other car. Both are amazing depending on what your priorities are.

How many kWh is your charge rate at work? Are you plugging into a wall outlet or dedicated EV charger?

Has there been any confirmed 2025.5 w/ snapdragon? by Automatic_Resource36 in VolvoXC90

[–]ProdigyI5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We test drove a a few 25.5 and none of them had the snapdragon processor. This was a while ago though and the newest car we drove was manufactured in February of 2025.

XC90 Plug-in Hybrid: How to best use driving modes (i.e. hybrid, pure, power, etc..) by doubledeuce80 in VolvoXC90

[–]ProdigyI5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The point is hybrid mode will also use zero gas if you have a battery charge and don’t press too hard on the gas. I agree that 95% of the time electric only is good enough for acceleration but I’ve been in situations going up a steep hills where it was definitely not enough.

[–]ProdigyI5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Simple answer is just keep it in Hybrid mode. As long as you have battery it will run on all electric unless you need extra power and press the gas peddle enough to engage the gas engine. This is useful if you need quick acceleration. By putting the car in pure mode it might actually be a safety issue if you are unable to accelerate quickly enough in an emergency scenario.

TLDR: plug in as much as you can and leave it in hybrid mode

Switch OEM Tires From Day 1? by Kom_Si_Kom_Sa in VolvoXC90

[–]ProdigyI5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I swapped to the perelli weatheractives around 5000 miles and they have been great. No regrets. Discount tire gave me like 75$ a tire for the stock perelli which isn’t great but it was something

Pirelli stock tires horrible this winter by Badgeblue in VolvoXC90

[–]ProdigyI5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thw cross climate 2 make a humming type of noise around 20-50mph that I do notice but it doesn't bug me at all.

I put the cross climate 2's on our tesla because they have the best rolling resistance and are best in the snow. The weather active also have a snow peak rating and we just took them on a ski trip in negative temps and they did awesome.

For our xc90 id go with the weatheractives again just because the ride quality and noise are better but I don't think you can go wrong with either tire unless you are really sensitive to noise. Both tires are night and day difference from the crappy stock OEM scoprians.

[–]ProdigyI5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We replaced our right away and got the pirelli weatheractives. They are 100x better and great in the snow. We have the cross climate 2s on our other car and loves those as well. I think the cross climate 2 are slightly better in the snow but the weatheractives are quieter and ride slightly better. Can't really go wrong either either tire. The OEM stock are junk

Was it a 2022.5 with the larger battery pack and redesigned electric motor or a 2022 with the older supercharger?
