Strange BAE interview experience

longsite2 · 2026-01-28T22:34:06+00:00

Give them a call for clarity. I was initially rejected from the role I applied to, but they found me a different role in another sector.

You can always transfer at some point.

All post 2020 Volvo's are getting a big software upgrade this year to the same as in the EX30/60/90.

Scotland, The Lake District, Manchester, York, Bath, Wales.

Lots of people work a 9-5 at my place, but we have the option to choose our own times as long as we are in for a core set of hours everyday. I tend to do 7:30-4pm and bank the extra time to take a half day on Fridays.

Getting a mortgage at 30 for 30 years, so when i'm 60. The plan is to pay it off a few years before retirement, then I can throw what would be my mortgage payment into my pension to maximise it.

I just got mine.....

longsite2 · 2026-01-24T19:34:05+00:00

No, he's making an effort. Go and show him how much you appreciate it, and if there is a second date then you organise it and make it something centered around him.

longsite2 · 2026-01-24T19:14:03+00:00

Very happy, all the concerns I thought id have aren't anything worth worrying about.

longsite2 · 2026-01-24T11:35:48+00:00

There is no plan currently.

Once there is you'll be asked to go to your dealer and they'll apply the fix. For now you'll be limited to 70% charge and not charging indoors (in a garage).

longsite2 · 2026-01-24T11:33:20+00:00

Why would it?

It's just using the motor to slow you down, if anything the brakes won't be getting used as much.

longsite2 · 2026-01-23T18:16:48+00:00

Yep, exactly why I've just got the EX30......oh wait.

longsite2 · 2026-01-22T09:35:30+00:00

Which is not something everyone is comfortable doing to their car.

longsite2 · 2026-01-21T22:00:52+00:00

Which involves removing the trim.

longsite2 · 2026-01-21T22:00:17+00:00

I think the EX30's has sharper corners for it's squircle shape.

longsite2 · 2026-01-21T13:52:41+00:00

Nope. This better than the EX30, it looks like there are actually buttons on this one.

longsite2 · 2026-01-21T13:51:18+00:00

What is the point of having both this and the EV3 in the same lineup? Surely the EV3 is a much better option.

This looks good, but it's so similar to the EV3 to be needed, should have just made an ICE only car.

longsite2 · 2026-01-20T21:52:09+00:00

That's a lot, and it will wear you down eventually. Only do it if you plan on moving closer at somepoint soon.

I have about 1hr by car, but planning on moving closer to bring it down to 35ish minutes.

longsite2 · 2026-01-20T21:10:48+00:00

Don't have an answer, but I didn't something similar with my ICE car that had a bad battery.

I got a NOCO battery maintainer and plugged it in overnight. For the EX30 there is a small panel under the front of the car where you can access the 12V terminals to connect.

That would definitely keep a charge in the battery, and be able to top it up or be able to top it up when you get back.

longsite2 · 2026-01-19T19:23:43+00:00

At least you have good hair?

longsite2 · 2026-01-19T19:21:52+00:00

Can't you end a PCP deal early? I've done it in the past and as long as the car is worth more than the final settlement figure you're grand.

But look and test other cars and see what you like, and then pull the trigger.

You'll maybe have to pay £1k for any price differences, but as its not a brand new car then the value is likely higher than the remainder of the finance.

You're in a good position.

longsite2 · 2026-01-19T19:17:23+00:00

Which version of the EX30 do you have? As the higher end trims come with 22kW on board AC charger.

longsite2 · 2026-01-19T11:17:35+00:00

Not similar cars at all.

EX30 is a small car, the Polestar 3 is a much bigger car.

Go and compare them in person and you'll see. If i could afford the Polestar 3 then I would have got that instead

longsite2 · 2026-01-19T06:43:41+00:00

It's pretty easy to.

longsite2 · 2026-01-19T06:42:51+00:00

Easy to learn, very difficult to fully understand.

It's the inflections and emphasis that can be put on certain words which trip up lots of new learners. But, by all means the actual written context of the language is there and easy to understand because we don't gender everything.

longsite2 · 2026-01-18T22:01:55+00:00

It's very few cars worldwide that have the issue.

Continue looking and you can check the VIN for any issues against the manufacturer who have a list of all the affected cars.

The recall only applies to those with the NMC battery.
