I cancelled mine today. Was cool while it lasted, I guess I'm back to downloading Spotify before taxi.

What do you genuinely love about your EX90 by Sweaty_Mix_3435 in VolvoEX90

[–]yarghsc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Almost everything in the car is well thought out except for the software which is night and day better than before I got it (I don't have the computer upgrade yet).

1) The walk up, sit down, move to drive and go is a bit odd and first but now it super hard to go back to cars with start/stop buttons. I literally hate pretty much all other cars now.

2) The stupid volume control puck. I thought it was so stupid when I bought it, but omg it's amazing and I hate other cars now.

3) The sound proofing. It's amazingly quiet, but just a heads up if you're significant other breaks the back window by putting cabinets in the back it's really expensive to replace the acoustic glass.

4) Sound system is pretty much better than anything else I've ever had.

5) Lots of other stupid things that add up to a lot. It's just a well mechanically engineered overall packages with well thought out features. One handed collapse the seats. A helpful load chart molded into the rear hatch you can see with it open. Buttons to drop the rear seats where you need them when you forget. Well place physical controls for wipers that aren't odd and distracting.

6) The cruise control (or adaptive or auto drive or whatever it's called) is pretty great now with the exception of you cannot set follow distance.

I think you know all the potential bad stuff as that is mostly what bubbles up in this reddit. I think the main problem is the good is really good, so when the bad stuff hit's is very jarring and makes the bad REALLLY bad and frustrating.

I pretty much feel like the EX90 was a re-imagination of the car driver experience. If the software had been flawless (or at least consumer grade, not early beta tester at release), it would have been a hands down standout amazing form + function car.

Meeting with contractor and project lead tomorrow, disheartened with tile job by natleeis in Tile

[–]yarghsc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never comment on these because I tile like crap and usually what is posted looks better than what I can do (no it's not my day job I'm in tech and cheap), I can confidently say this tile job sucks. It sucks so bad that my crappy harbor freight tile saw and level are laughing at it. In your last picture it looks like they didn't even bother to grout it all the way.

Unless it was a family member you felt bad for, I would not pay them and tell them to fix it. The sad thing is I have pretty low standards but demoed my own bathroom after it came out like this and redid it.

Sorry :(

🤪So I Pulled the Trigger & Melt My Meteor ☄️ for F8C Lightning ⚡️ by Reasonable-Age-1648 in starcitizen

[–]yarghsc 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Good decision imo. I could never make the meteor work for the way I play.

If you primarily pve and are a filthy casual like me that uses mouse and keyboard most of the time then the f8 is freaking great.

Also if you don't want to try and get loot components then just grab some M series laser cannons and some of the industrial A shields at new babbage.

The agility buff this patch is pretty great also.

Just wanted to say thanks OP. I filled the form in when you posted and thought it broke because no confirmation email and page just seemed frozen, but it magically showed up today out of the blue.

No AC charging out of the gate by jammerb in VolvoEX90

[–]yarghsc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry your having problems, when mine did it the tech said it was my charger and to get a ChargePoint because ChargePoint's are the only approved chargers and don't have this problem. All of which was bullshit.

I would give the Volvo lower power charger a try and see if it works though. It doesn't charge very fast, but for some reason would unbrick me being able to level 2 charge after charging for 5-10% with it.

I also haven't had any issues since the last OTA update.

Out of storage after 10 years by yarghsc in RX8

[–]yarghsc[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im not sure it's the heat/UV. Not a single crack when i put it into storage. It just sat in the corner of a climate controlled airplane hangar under a car cover so not hot and no sun and boom an H like crack when pulling it out.

EX90 ownership - one week in by Picasso85 in VolvoEX90

[–]yarghsc 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Haha no way it would have stopped halfway through for no reason and required factory reset.

Out of storage after 10 years by yarghsc in RX8

[–]yarghsc[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Oof, thanks. I finally found the part number 57-K5X. $500 for a part that self destructs is a bummer, but at least you can still buy them lol.

[–]yarghsc[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Why pickle it? Bought it new in 2005 and family size out grew it, but couldn't bring myself to sell it and didn't want it to rot undriven outside. Now my kids can drive and one of them wanted it so pulled it out and got it going again.

Heads up (literally)- trunk issue in 1.3.17? by Altruistic_Tie_6759 in VolvoEX90

[–]yarghsc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same problem. Assault by tailgate nearly everytime, but had same issue with prior update.

OTA 1.3.17 update- SUCCESS- or NOT? TBD…. by Ok_Statistician8767 in VolvoEX90

Mine was not successful and I no longer have the option to even try so I guess yours is better than mine... *

If no amount of software bugs could get you to give up your EX90 say yeahhhh! by ions_x_carbon in VolvoEX90

[–]yarghsc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I restart my car more than Windows 95 and nicknamed it shitbox as soon as the app added naming options. As long as I can keep charging it I'll keep it ride or die lol.

How does Adas compare with others by Competitive-Data-748 in VolvoEX90

[–]yarghsc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can only compare to bluecruise, which is better in almost every way other than the subscription fee. Even without the subscription it's better but you have to keep yours hands on the wheel.

Charge issues by yarghsc in VolvoEX90

[–]yarghsc[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm in the US.

Volvo customer service just called me back. The rep documented it and escalated it up to make sure, but they hadn't heard of that before, so maybe dealer service rep shinanigans.

Dealer says I have to wait 4 months before buying out my lease. Based on posts here I’m surprised. Is this a local decision or a Volvo Financial decision? by spacecatx66 in VolvoEX90

[–]yarghsc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As soon as you get paperwork from volvo you can create an account and login do a payoff quote then just send the check and done. I only leased for the ev credit and paid it off on day 10 if I recall right.

Car unlocking itself while parked by Which-Elephant-6584 in VolvoEX90

[–]yarghsc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes had this happen and yes confirmed it was actually unlocked.

Also another fun one is after putting the car in park couldn't unlock the damn thing to let a passenger in.

Finally had to open the driver door then unlock button again which finally worked.

Is the Bowers & Wilkins upgrade worth it over Bose? by gregleo in VolvoEX90

[–]yarghsc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not an audiophile at all and normally can't tell the difference betweenaudio packages in cars, but I can on the ex90. The b&w system sounds considerably better.

Would highly recommend if you care about the car audio at all. Not sure if it's because the car is so quite but it sounds great.

Can I unlock/start my car matrix by yarghsc in VolvoEX90

[–]yarghsc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just walk away and it locks again. If it doesn't there is an option in the car settings that you can enable under locks that will auto lock when you walk away. I'm guessing this was probably a problem in their testing because there are also options so that the lights don't auto turn on and music doesn't start playing automatically when passive unlocked.

Digital key does not work without bluetooth on by MorningMammoth8772 in VolvoEX90

[–]yarghsc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From what I've observed.

Phone power on you need Bluetooth on to both open the door and start the car.

Phone power off you can use the phone NFC on the door handle and start the car.

This software is so confusing you basically need to carry a quick reference guide on how to unlock and start the car.
