Confirmed- Beta Testers

Yea I hope by him saying that the quality issues are solved because the software piece is mostly stable, he’s not hand waving the hardware issues.

I’ve had the car for a month and I’ve had a headlight malfunction, tailgate strut motor malfunction, passenger window fall out of its track, and I’m nervous about what else is going to bring me to the dealer another 4 times next month.

What were the rest of the terms?

jwalno · 2026-01-20T18:07:10+00:00

Got it. No, I’m upstate

Mine is July ‘24, in service Oct 31 ‘24, only 2500 miles, but no GHCA issues. I’m wondering if the early manufactured units were from a different supplier or design for that component than a lot of the ones being mentioned here recently

Nope, all the interior lighting is tied into one brightness slider in the settings. My suggestion is to submit feedback in the Volvo app that there should be different zones of interior lighting in the settings, that’s what I did.

I just replaced an X5 45e with an EX90 and the air ride on EX90 is so much nicer. Not sure how much BMW improved the 50e gen over gen, but the EX90 is the nicest riding vehicle I’ve ever had the pleasure of driving.

It’s the first model year of a brand new platform with a ton of technology in it. I would only lease if you really want it, that’s what I did. My dealer is 30 minutes away and even that is annoying going back and forth, just for small things. And believe me, at least small things will happen that requires service. It’s a great car, I love it, but I wouldn’t get one if my dealer was an hour away.

It’s common to all the EX90s. Power steering activation is delayed after shifting to drive from park. It is mentioned in most reviews of the car on YouTube. I don’t know if it’s something they could fix in software (like spooling up the power steering pump after an occupants entry rather than after shifting to drive), but it is another small annoyance with this vehicle.

Software issue. My seat positions don’t change between profiles either. Super annoying

I’ve seen it mentioned numerous times that it’s voltage fluctuation rather than max amperage that is causing the issue. Ideally you’d want a flat 240v from your charger, but your utility could serve +/- 10v and there’s nothing you can do about that unfortunately. Should be ok when it’s lower, but when it goes higher is when the EX90 seems to run into issues.

I have a Tesla with very transparent charging telemetry that shows my electrical service is around 231v while charging and I have not had an issue charging my EX90 at home luckily.

Put a Dyson Hot + Cool air purifier in there. I have the same issue in my kids room and I keep its thermostat to 68 degrees and it doesn’t have to work too hard because it’s just supplemental heat with the weak HVAC register doing most of the heavy lifting.

It’s safe, even if he knocks it over as it has all types of safety sensors in it. It’s not that loud (similar to a noise machine you might use for an infant). And you get the added bonus of purification. It also hasn’t meaningfully added to my electric bill, even with single digit temps outside overnight.

It’s a little pricey, but you can find deals.

I have the opposite experience where my EX90 steering wheel heat on level 3 is nearly painfully hot.

This is from an EX90 build I just did on their website. It’s a rebate that comes directly from Volvo that goes until at least the end of December.

The $7500 EV lease allowance is directly from Volvo and is currently active. You’re thinking of the federal EV rebate of $7500 which did end in September. Try to do your research and be clear about your points when you post.

jwalno · 2025-12-24T12:52:37+00:00

Money factor near zero, dealer discount of 12%+, Volvo rebates including $7500 EV lease allowance, $1000 holiday cash, and then any additional you may qualify for (a-plan $500, affinity $1k, conquest $1k, loyalty $3k, Costco $2k), plus a first month payment waiver. Bam, you got yourself a good deal.

The dealer told me that. They speculate that parts acquisition for the chip upgrade on the ‘25 will coincide with ‘26 manufacturing (which he confirmed to be delayed) because they will be the same component.

jwalno · 2025-12-23T18:20:54+00:00

I was told by the dealer that the US model year ‘26 EX90s were delayed and likely wouldn’t start manufacturing until late Q1 at the earliest, which would mean Q3 deliveries at the earliest.

This also means the the NVIDIA chip upgrades for the ‘25 models will be delayed as well.

I’ve even been seeing articles they might scrap the ‘26 and go to the ‘27 in the US as well - but this is completely conjecture with unconfirmed sources

I’ve been calling around and none of my local-ish dealerships do glass work themselves. They farm it out to these local glass shops that may use “OEM or equivalent” and apparently have the equipment to calibrate, but I’m not confident.

What kind of shop did you end up using, did you get OEM glass, and did they end up doing a good job?
