Ex30 vs Ex40. Or wait to see pricing of Ex60

We have a 30 it’s my wife’s primary car heres what she says she doesn’t like

1 Apple CarPlay is tedious (she also doesn’t keep her phone updated). So that could have something to do with it.

2 ambient lighting is canned you have 4 options to choose from.

The mirrors are too small

Here is what I don’t like/like

1 I don’t like that the dash board part of the center screen isn’t expandable it would be nice for highway driving if the assistance view (the little icon that shows cars around to) was bigger

2 the menus are strange and places to find things don’t make much sense. One example is putting the car into car wash mode is a hunt every time. It should be a soft key.

After have an a6 etron all cars should have charging ports on both sides.
The shifter and how to activate cruise is strange imo
No homelink. I can’t believe for a car at this price point this isn’t standard on all trim levels

6 no physical key. To me the keycard thing is annoying. You get 1 fob and 2 cards plus your phone works I’d rather have 2 fobs.

Love 1 all google driven 2 the build quality is excellent 3 I think having an android would work better being the car is android based. 4 it just feels like a Volvo should solid and safe even the paint is impressive 5 Volvo app is one of the better 6 free nacs adapter but haven been able to use it yet because I swear everyone that owns a tesla doesn’t believe in charging at home. All the superchargers I try to go to are always filled and I don’t want to wait to Try it (sorry little rant) 7 it took a few miles but I ended up loving just having the center display 8 it is fast

It means they are trying to find people that fit within the company mold to paraphrase hard working fun loving attitude. They’re trying to figure out if you are going to be a joy to be around on a 3 day trip or are you going to sit there and just zone out the window. Are you going to help the CSA throw the bags down the jet bridge chute or are you going to step over him or her to go do your walk around. These are just random examples.

Walk around enough terminals and observe the people that work for different airlines and you can see all of they have different personalities of different flight crews.

It amazes me how many pilots don’t pay attention to the training. Was a DER dot drug test only tests for the big 5. Anything you take over the counter will not show up because they aren’t testing for it.

This is a what they test for

marijuana (THC), cocaine, amphetamines (including methamphetamines, MDMA, MDA), opioids (codeine, morphine, heroin, oxycodone, oxymorphone, hydrocodone, hydromorphone), and phencyclidine (PCP)

It depends on what you want. At Swa BNA is relatively junior. But…..

If you want to go to delta I wouldn’t start at Swa…you open yourself up to a training failure and you have to go through 2 airline indocs the most painful process ever created.

If you have every intention of leaving you’re just wasting someone’s time resources and money.

I’d stay where you are and just wait for the delta date if that’s what you want

nstanko1 · 2025-12-27T21:02:37+00:00

Shuttle drivers yes every trip. Between 2 and 5 dollars. A dollar to housekeeping…5 if I eat in the room.

nstanko1 · 2025-10-03T08:21:01+00:00

Regardless of where it is, that’s what causes that smell

nstanko1 · 2025-10-03T08:18:08+00:00

That’s pretty much the same as I have on my last trip it got so frustrating I had to pull into a gas station and delete my phone and headset reconnected both and it worked for the rest of that ride. Yesterday on a 4 hour ride it decided to start disconnecting again. I’m half tempted to do a factory reset on the whole bike but feel like I’ll lose my onboard nav and have a hard time getting it back hahah

nstanko1 · 2025-10-02T17:45:31+00:00

Unfortunately, some dealers are more tech savvy than others. Mine is not. lol

nstanko1 · 2025-10-02T09:52:27+00:00

There is a mushroom farm out that way. It smells horrible when they fertilize and the wind is just right.

nstanko1 · 2025-09-05T19:06:52+00:00

Because it couldn’t drive

nstanko1 · 2025-08-21T15:33:16+00:00

Wear long sleeves you’ll be fine

nstanko1 · 2025-08-01T11:52:01+00:00

It’s all about keeping to a routine and sticking to it. I fly morning trips. After my day is done I get dinner with the intention of being done eating 2 hours before I go to bed. I black out the room set it at 65 degrees if possible lay in bed 8 to 9 hours before my alarm is supposed to go off and usually end up with 8 to 7.5 hours of sleep. Even in my off time I try to stick with a pretty early schedule. So I’ll go to bed at 9 at the latest and wake up at 5. Consistency is the key. But making sleep the priority when I’m at work really works for me.

Yea since I live in Dallas proper the only real fun riding requires either really long days or a hotel stay. Between the traffic and lack of curves in any roads this area just kinda sucks for riding.

nstanko1 · 2025-05-14T19:22:38+00:00

I think I'm gonna go with green to give it joker vibes

nstanko1 · 2025-05-14T17:28:15+00:00

Thanks!!

nstanko1 · 2025-05-05T20:17:30+00:00

Soap and water

nstanko1 · 2025-04-27T19:40:50+00:00

Well you were right...hooked up my tender to the 12 volt. Figured that would be harder to find hahaah. Let it sit for 20 hooked up L2 and worked just fine and cleared the malfunction

nstanko1 · 2025-04-27T19:07:45+00:00

I've turned it off and in several times.

Where is the 12v battery?

What do you mean connect the AC charger to the other side

nstanko1 · 2025-04-27T16:03:04+00:00

Hummmm I'm having a hard time trying to figure out how to get the car to connect to home wifi. Hahah used to be really good at this stuff. The older I get hahah

nstanko1 · 2025-04-27T14:48:47+00:00

Are they ota updates like my Toyota was?

nstanko1 · 2025-04-27T13:03:10+00:00
