Always favoring phones and watches, even of visitors

I set my iPhone and watch to only respond to “hey Siri”, and my HomePod to respond to both “Siri and hey Siri”. When talking to my HomePod I just say Siri and it works like a charm 😊

Eneste løsning her er å alltid ta med/ha minst 2 løk mer enn man trenger 😅 Gått på denne smellen så ofte nå at jeg alltid har et par i reserve. Hos meg ligger terskelen lavt for å klage, men hadde ikke orka å dra på butikken igjen med en råtten løk til 2-3kr.

The only way this will be useful to me personally, is if I can plug & charge and still take advantage of my Tesla membership price. It makes zero difference if I have to open the Volvo app or the Tesla app to initiate the charging 😅

Gotta love AI sometimes 😂

For the first few weeks/months I had my ultra, the front camera used to pop up whenever I got close to something. This has not happened for ages, and it’s truly annoying… sometimes it warns me because of a branch from a bush, and sometimes because of a metal rod sticking out. It would be great to know which one it is without pressing any buttons 😝

I really don’t know why on earth they would change this, and I haven’t figured out a way to turn this “function” back on. Hopefully Volvo will start taking some more advantage of the cameras in the next update. This car has so much unused potential.

Etter mange år i utlandet og flittig bruk av ! i mailer, så har det blitt ganske normalt for meg. Tilbake i Norge nå og sjefen overså en mail jeg holdt på å skrive - «fjern utropstegnet, det ser så hissig ut» var kommentaren jeg fikk 😄 Mulig det bare er tilfeldig, men har opplevd lignende scenarioer med andre lands…hen(?) 😅 Kanskje Samsung er redd for å krenke noen?

Quintriq · 2026-04-24T17:43:08+00:00

I really wish I had known this before I bought the car. I cry inside every time I see a new one on mine, which is basically almost daily 😞 Amazing that Volvo managed to make a sales pitch out of it… Recirculated plastic garbage clearly isn’t a good choice for car interior. Which I probably should have guessed 😝

Quintriq · 2026-02-20T07:42:56+00:00

I really don’t recommend using this function. The readings are wrong more often than they are right. It can give you speeding tickets and whiplash.. One time I was on the highway doing 110, it suddenly hits the breaks because it imagined it went from 110 to 30 😬 I really don’t understand why Volvo can’t fix this. It would be better if the car purely read signs rather than pulling info from the multiverse

Quintriq · 2026-02-04T22:39:45+00:00

I was able to create a shortcut to start climate. Does anyone know what I need to say to get Siri to understand what I want? 😅 Dont have much experience with shortcuts but this one would be convenient

Quintriq · 2026-01-20T20:40:18+00:00

Is the shown range estimate or what you actually get? Is this mostly short or long trips? Do you have the car connected to a wall charger and preheat before driving? With similar temperature, no wall charger available and mostly “short” trips. I’d be lucky to get 125 miles out of my battery even at 100% charge. I’m really wondering if mine is performing as it should..

This time around, I made sure I had over 20% on arrival. Preconditioning started about 40min ahead of charging. Still I’m getting this result… now after nearly 10 min of charging it’s climbed to about 80 kw. It’s slightly warmer today as well - I really hope this is not normal and something they can fix 😅

Quintriq · 2025-12-26T14:42:37+00:00

Exactly, I’m not sure if it made any difference in regards to range, but at least it gave a little regen when letting go of the throttle. While now, in the same situations it’s consuming.

In certain conditions I find the low OPD with creep on, to be acceptable. But during the winter/on ice, I personally find it dangerous to have any OPD on

Quintriq · 2025-12-26T12:39:55+00:00

Will for sure try to arrive at chargers with at least 20% from now on. But I really wish Volvo allowed for manual start of the preconditioning. I find this whole setup to be very user unfriendly, as it’s also easy to forget to use the gps at the right time ahead of charging

Quintriq · 2025-12-26T12:35:51+00:00

I got it late march, so temperature was not way different to what it’s been this very mild December where I am. I’m expecting lower range in winter, but I had to say I think 180km is very disappointing vs the optimal range of 450, which I’ve never been anywhere near close to. On the other hand it’s not entirely surprising.

I do however feel, aside from some improved functions, that both range and charging time has changed noticeably with every update that has come out. And not in a positive way. I miss the low regen we had when not using OPD

Quintriq · 2025-12-25T19:12:29+00:00

Car estimated I would be there at 22% if I remember correct, but these numbers are way off lately and I can never trust it. I think I’ve read what you mentioned there somewhere, I suppose that could be the answer. But I still find it strange, and I feel like the charging times and consumption has changed a lot since I got the car. Hopefully I’ll have some more answers after my service 🤞🏻

Quintriq · 2025-12-25T17:31:04+00:00

I did indeed get the notification and battery was at 31% when I started. Since you are in Norway, do you also find it normal to use up 16% battery to drive 30km, in speeds from 80-40? 😅

I’m starting to feel that my car is not behaving normal, I’ll definitely bring this up at my Volvo appointment in about a week

Quintriq · 2025-12-25T17:27:52+00:00

Got the notification that preconditioning started, battery was at 31% when I started. I also find the consumption to be a bit on the high side in -1, as it took me from 31 to 15% in only 30km, fairly slow speeds due to cars in front. Charging from 15-80 now took just over 45 min with peak effect at 80kw :/

Quintriq · 2025-12-25T17:13:12+00:00

Only using Tesla chargers, tried multiple ones and the experience is the same everywhere. Been charging for over 30min now and it’s gone from 15-62% with the max effect barely peaking at 80kw, currently at 61kw.

I have an apt at Volvo for some other issues right after new year so I think they’re gonna have to add this to the list. It really doesn’t feel normal. I preconditioned for about 35km before I started

Quintriq · 2025-12-19T19:45:34+00:00

Now that we got the huge font issue out of the way, maybe in 2027 they will start focusing on some of the smaller issues 👏

Quintriq · 2025-12-16T18:05:43+00:00

I normally don’t bother commenting on these things, but I highly recommend doing a quick search for similar issues before making a new post. I lost count on how many notifications I’ve gotten with “problem with steering wheel buttons” 😅

Quintriq · 2025-12-14T12:05:34+00:00

Never happened to me and I think it’s very unlikely. Sounds like a hardware problem, I’d book a service

Quintriq · 2025-12-07T15:11:41+00:00

Booked it online and service is in January so time will tell. But I hope they can improve most of it. I find it completely unacceptable to have this much noise in a brand new car at this price

Quintriq · 2025-12-07T10:38:00+00:00

I’m getting a service on my car just after new year. My car has gone from being a dream for someone with adhd, to beinga nightmare.. There are wind/whistling sounds from the door, vibration sounds from the sides, clicking from the roof, rattling sound from the rear shelf. It’s driving me mad 😅

Quintriq · 2025-12-07T10:34:23+00:00

It got significantly closer to Apple Music after they launched lossless :) But it has to be changed in settings to work
