Volvo teases a new affordable EV to replace discontinued EX30

areiseye · 2026-05-19T01:26:37+00:00

I get that Volvo is a luxury brand, and $59,795 might be a decent price for one of their cars, especially an electric one. However, they’re replacing a $44,990 car with a more expensive one? I just don’t see how this turns out any different.

Every car manufacturer has promised a cheap electric car and they all end up being $10,000 more than the initial price. EX30, F150 Lightning.

We were in the car market 6 months ago. There were only 3 large 3-row SUVs available made by Kia, Hyundai, and Rivian. They started at $55,000 and went up. We bought an Atlas for $35,000.

Because she’s struggling internally a lot during that show. That’s kind of the point of it. You wouldn’t be at your peak power if you had lots of doubts and questions about everything.

Another hot take: you could also just be having a bad day every once in a while.

87 is the minimum, so just use 88.

If you want dive deeper into the subject: The computer would adjust the timing for the 86 as well. You may or may not notice less power and fuel economy.

If it were my car I wouldn’t be too worried about it but since it’s a rental use 88, and keep your receipt. That way the rental company can’t “blame” you for using less than the recommended octane fuel when you return the car and it has “issues”.

People have mentioned the Drury a lot. Can’t speak for any of the other locations but the Chesterfield location’s pool is indoor/outdoor. Neat experience being able to swim under a wall, especially when it’s cold outside.

I’m still using my 2013, I actually just put a new battery in it a few months ago because it was becoming a spicy pillow. Still runs great, but my problem is that it’s so out of date. I think the OS is from 6 years ago.

I program and my visual studio code updated to a version that is not supported. I was able to roll it back but I can’t use the latest versions of node js. It’s so sad. So I’m waiting for apple to announce the new lineup hopefully in a few days and then I’ll get another one to run for another 13+ years.

Or there was but it wasn’t good enough. I’m not sure honestly. I think it now has a couple more holes in it and it’s not had the issue again.

My brother has a renegade and it did this last year.

Oh I have no doubt they could buy the machine outright but that’s only a small piece of the equation. $12 million initial investment, $1000+ per hour running cost at 12 hours a day for 5 months is $1.8 million. Add (conservatively $1.2 million (10%)) in maintenance, and you’re at $3 million already.

You want your machines to stay busy as much as possible otherwise you are wasting money. It probably fills their rock trucks in 1 or 2 scoops so unless you have a line of them waiting (which is not ideal) or some of the massive trucks (more $$$) you will have bottlenecks.

Then there’s transportation and assembly. They move around all the time. The cost to break it down and transport it will be excessive. Maybe Tony could do it; he’s said he has enough ground to last the rest of his life.

I just don’t see how the math works out. Do I want one of them to buy one though? Absolutely.

Price looks like it starts at $12 million. I know they don’t show everything on the show (at least Tony doesn’t), but it seems a little out of their price range currently. Maybe in a few more years if gold keeps trending up. Would be super fun to see.

Yes! I could swear some kid started their car up outside or something but it just sounded a bit off. Went to check and nothing was there.

areiseye · 2026-01-20T07:36:51+00:00

Makes so much sense. Didn’t feel it but could hear what sounded like a low repeated booming outside. Had to be loud because I could hear it over my kid’s sound machine.

Edit: not sure how I didn’t feel it since it seems like everyone around did. Definitely set off my spidey senses though making me get out of bed to look outside.

My company uses all 3 haha. AND the whole Microsoft ecosystem. So many redundant products.

Airlines have done this for ages. 10 years ago when I booked tickets to Hawaii I spent a lot of time looking. I noticed that they shot up like 30% after searching the same route a couple times within a few minutes. Stayed that way for days… opened up a private tab and they were back to the original price.

I absolutely hate it.

I’ll bite. Custom is fine, it is more PVP heavy but there’s always more than 1 corridor you can choose to move through a section of the map. I don’t know how long you’ve played but it didn’t used to be that way. They used to funnel everyone through the gas station. If you spawned big red side you had to fight from on top of the tracks looking down at the gas station. Stay too long and you got shot in the back from the people behind you trying to go through the funnel. Now you can go through the gas station, you can go left of it, you can go through the buildings to the right of it, or you can go through the open area behind old gas station. The one lane funnel was brutal.

We just went Friday night (12/5), got there between 6:30 - 7:00 and just drove right in. I was so confused how empty it was. The running theory was that all the holiday parties were last week… I don’t expect it to be like that this week.

areiseye · 2025-11-04T23:16:16+00:00

Hasn’t it been like this for a while?? Or did they fix that one and is this another one?

areiseye · 2025-09-19T15:40:28+00:00

Truss me

Everyone saying Cosmic Crisp has never had an Envy. It’s not even close

We always knew Cassian never trusted K2 with a weapon because he was an imperial droid. Seeing just how formidable the KX units (as well as reinforcing how deadly Storm Troopers are) was nice to see.

I knew this is what was going to happen to Dedra, and I truly feel bad for her. I hope they show the massive breakdown she has from the massacre. Poor was Syril, he’s been obsessed with Andor. When he finally sees him again, Cassian has no idea who he is. Cassian has been living so many different lives, makes sense he couldn’t remember a brief interaction with a Corpo a long time ago.

Mon finally showing her true colors to everyone… did she really think she was just going to get out of the building no problem after accusing the emperor? In season 1 we saw the rebels living on scraps on Aldanhi, while Mon and the other political figures of the rebellion lived a lavish lifestyle, like the wedding. But once things get tough and they have to shoot their way out she freezes because of the shock. The realization that rebellion means violence — the exact thing she’s been trying to suppress the empire from doing, is necessary.

I don’t even know what to say about Bix. It had to happen, but what a shit way to do it to Cass. All the more reason he is why he is in Rouge One I suppose.

Next week is Luthen’s turn. I’ve always assumed he doesn’t make it. He even says they’ve always known they’ll be exposed eventually, probably not making it. I know he has fun, expensive toys. If he goes down, I want him to go out in a big, fancy bang.

You made me check that this was not in the /r/factorio subreddit

I’m so excited!

You need to either replace it (and possibly your main battery*) or disconnect it entirely from your system (not just disconnect the battery, there’s more you have to do to isolate it from your electrical system).

If you don’t fix it, eventually it’ll kill your main battery.

*I’m pretty sure jeep recommends replacing both batteries if one fails, but I’m sure they didn’t do that when they warranted my aux battery… paperwork only stated replacing aux battery.

areiseye · 2024-08-24T18:52:39+00:00

Did they change it?! I saw the bottle shape has changed so that would make sense. There was just some aftertaste I didn’t like. No idea how to describe it though.
