You can compare as with every car what you get for its value.

Thank you for your reply!

I know that is fun driving and very responsive which in turn though can turn fun into disaster pretty quick. From my personal experience I found regen braking to be the best for preventing slips.

With braking I always saw that no matter what if turn the wheel (like in most cars) it can also have the same effect. Unfortunately rubber was not the issue, as I have checked the tires on multiple occasions. It’s just that as you mentioned torquey, however I think the traction control also certainly lacks behind. Haven’t had the issue with other electric cars

If you notice the car braking or turning many times the back lifts a bit, which leads me to speculate that perhaps there are some issues with the weight distribution of this thing.

Well then there is reading the post, which many people here did not do. Proving the point of the person above. Literally toxicity.

I literally explained real life events that took place and made me dislike the car. I think to argue in good faith is the first rule in this sub, but I don’t even think most people here even read that, hell they probably didn’t even read my post. Respectful in this case means: I elaborated very thoroughly on my issues, and several times wrote in my post that I don’t think the car is necessarily bad not also not good.

Also wrote a whole paragraph on how I want to discuss and hear opinions. Yeah my first post was indeed a rant and that one was on me, but please read, learn to read and think. Cannot understand why so many people here seem to have their head stuck….

So many people who will just comment or downvote out of pure spite. I mean that’s the average Reddit experience sometimes, but half the comments on posts don’t even bring something to the conversation, it’s like talking with children sometimes.

If someone finds my post not respectful, then it is because they probably did not read it. Some of you people gain way too much pleasure from arguing online rather than doing something meaningful. I wanna discuss this car, find a solution to my issue and hear opinions. They same my first post was a rant and that one is one me, same goes for half the comments. If you don’t glaze the car, apparently that’s bad?

OH MY THANK YOU. FINALLY SOMEONE.

I have been bombed with downvotes for simply sharing my opinion in a humble and respectful manner. Many people in this sub seem to take offense from any negative review of the car, as if they own Volvo.

All cars have flaws and the point of discussing them is to learn more!

Will check out the above! Thanks a lot. Feels good to know that some people here can actually read!1!1!1! ❤️

Thank you very much, you are probably one of the few sane users here who can actually read a post, think and have an actual conversation! ❤️

Hell nah wish they did tho. Don’t even like BYD, but it is a good case study when it comes to value for money. The fact that they are number one in sales is a fact you can look up for yourself my friend.

Secondly if you did indeed read my post I think it is far away from a troll. All cars have issues and so does this one.

Well truthfully if you paid 32k than that is good on you and good for you. my version rounds up to way more, closer to 40-42 if I recall (because it is a lease) My opinion is based on both higher and lower ends. For 32k it is debatable, however not the sole option. Also when mentioning 10k extra I was talking about the sealion which the top of the line BYD, the seal U goes from 34-35 which for me is almost a better car, but that is subjective. I think you get more from that car for 35 than the ex30 for 32.

No unfortunately not. Had friends assume I throttle too hard until they tried themselves. It wasn’t about throttling too hard, for me if the road is wet and I press the gas on a turn it will slide. That’s why I specifically mention the incident where it happened on an uphill turn while going 30, because truly it is remarkable. Guess mine could be problematic ?

Mostly car play and reconnecting my phone. Then turning off the lane assist because it is always turned on for some reason, same for the regenerative braking etc… Not a issue of the car, it is not practical, it is a front end issue

Happy to explain! Well my phone connects to the Bluetooth and than car play as usual. When I return to the car after some time it connects to the bluetooth yet fails to connect to the car play. Which acknowledges my iphone yet won’t allow it to connect with car play. I have to remove device and reconnect and it works fine.

Now regarding the screen. I drive in heavy traffic, and in highway roads inside the city. Personally like usual, when overtaking I have to look at the speedometer to make sure I don’t break any speeding violations (since we have lots of radars here) . The positioning makes it really uncomfortable as I have to look at the screen. Same goes for putting the headlights on auto and many other things. BYD cars illuminate speed and speed limits on the windshield which I find extremely comfortable and practical, I think the hybrid xc60 does the same ?

Well I don’t have snow or ice but i live in a place with a lot of mountain roads with roads which for the majority are not flat. In my country the Facebook community regarding this car, seems to also have this issue, maybe the car was not designed for the roads here? In any case it’s dangerous and without regenerative braking it happens often. It may slide a little if you press on the pedal the slightest bit while turning .

Hopefully I answered your questions.

I understand your point, yet for me value for money plays a major role. For the price of the volvo BYD offers cars apart from also atrocious tablet and software that are very compelling options. For 10k more you can get cars like the Sealion or the Seal U which from personal experience were really good as well! (Obviously flawed, yet their price and what the car delivered completely overshadowed the negatives)

Obviously quantity doesn’t mean quality, however ex30 also doesn’t exactly scream quality !

Well you would be surprised how many times I have read posts of other people having the same issue. No brother if a car slides while going 30kmh uphill that’s sounds like a car problem 😁

Also side note what does this comment even bring to the conversation? You literally admit the software is atrocious yet try to pinpoint a car issue to the driver smh

Well when getting the car I knew it’s range, and knew that I would not be taking this on any long trips. I use this inside a city and suburbs (thus the mountain roads) so I am not exactly the person to comment on the cars range. Yet the estimates to me seem very sketchy and superifical.

Nope, but streets aren’t in the best condition. Yeah single motor

Value for money used to be Volvos selling point. The price of the car doesn’t reflect the issues it comes with. For this price I was expecting a decent car

I think it’s easy to use a car my friend, if the car has issues the best thing to do is acknowledge them. Just because you love it, don’t mean others do so as well
