"If you are incredibly good at Tetris ..." 😁Been a while since I played Tetris and only one day before I get my EX30. Sorry, family, going to need some hours of gaming to do tonight.
@uraiguerreiro at the moment there are no hangars available but they could come? The radio will be built into the vehicle, you can also download TuneIn radio and other music streaming apps. If you hold the home button the screen will go into a "calm" view for driving at night. Hope this helps!
shame no HUD for easier viewing. Checking centre screen regularly seems counter intuitive to road safety. One detail question...when reversing do the side mirrors tilt down automatically so you can see the rear wheels like in other AAOS Volvos?
It would be great to have a HUD, but sadly at this moment in time it isn't something on offer. The "exterior mirror tilt when reversing" isn't available I'm afraid.
@@DavidCatt92 Yes I am aware there will be no HUD in this years EX30 but they really should consider offering it in the future. The side mirrors tilting when reversing should really have been in this years EX30 though, its a very useful feature in other Volvos. Anyways thanks for the response.
"Heated seats and heated steering wheel do not affect your battery range as they run of the 12V battery". And where do you think the 12V battery charges from in an electric car? It does that from the main battery trough the step down converter. So they affect the range of course, just very little because they are low power comparing the main heating.
Correct, the 12v battery does charge from the power source which of course is the electric motor. The point being made is that, unlike most electric cars where this will affect the overall range, it simply affects the 12v which is always being charged on the move and draws a very minimal amount from the overall battery performance.
@@DavidCatt92 No it's not charged from the electric motor as this doesn't make sense for EV to put as small 12V generator connected to the main electric motor to charge 12V battery. The electric step down converter is just used to charge 12V battery from the main battery. But this doesn't matter at the end: you can't cheat the physics, you can't get energy from nowhere. It doesn't matter where heated steering powered from - it still affects the range as the main battery is the only power source in a BEV, directly or indirectly. It just affects the range unnoticeably just because it consumes very little: the power consumption of heated steering wheel is less than 50W - with usual consumption of EV about 20kWh per 100km heated steering wheel would cost less than 250 _meters_ of the range per hour of heating. And that would be the same doesn't matter which battery it would be connected to. The only reason why it is connected to the 12V battery instead of the main battery is just because it is easer and safer for such low power consumer.
@alfoonus unfortunately not, unicorn tears were too expensive. The 12v battery takes a draw from the vehicle via the KERS (Kinetic Energy Recovery System) much like our 48v Mild Hybrid cars, which keeps the battery charged. The Heated Seats and Steering Wheel then take their draw direct from the 12v (which was charged through lost kinetic energy) and therefore do not affect the range in the high voltage electric battery.
My boot doesn't open fully and I have to push it open. Charging is problematic as you have to set the charging limit manually each time you AC charge. Touchscreen is fun, sometimes it just goes black and reboots. Internet connection usually doesn't work over 5G, so have a good mobile package. Centre screen is not a problem as I spend more time looking out of the windows. Seems like your car as with mine, the monitoring pod is poorly installed and not mounted level. And software update 1.3 has been pulled from OTA, so obviously a problem there. Overall, a less than optimal Volvo experience.
It's a shame to hear that you're having all these issues. I would suggest getting it looked at by the local dealership as this isn't the norm for these cars, the one that I may be able to help with is the boot. If you manually set the boot to the height you want, then press and hold the boot close button, it should reset the height settings.
When you push your boot to the desired height, you can reset it by holding the close boot button. Next time you open it, it should open until that level. Hope that will solve one of the issues that you are experiencing
It’s just too complex for me. I want basic buttons for things like mirror adjustment etc… all this focus on one screen just doesn’t make sense, it may make it cheaper to build…
How often do you need to adjust your mirrors? Set them once and you never have to again, set normal while driving normally, and in reverse they auto tilt in addition to 360 degree cameras.
I thought this but test drove a tesla and one of these and you get use to it in 5mins. Its no different than looking down to the speedo, you just look left.
Great video! Thank you.
Thank you ! Great video
Clear. Much appreciated!
Cam we turn off the display? Is it annoying to drive clear at night?
Can we choose to see only the speed on screen in the middle or anywhere?
Good video, well done and thank you.
Brilliant stuff
Thank you @stevesmith9121
is it good or bad ?
Is there radio?
Thanks for the useful video. Is there a mute button for media please?
Hi @marquise250 at the moment there isn't, but it could be an addition later on in the cars life.
Press long to down button on steering wheel works as mute. Then short click on up button returns to volume level where it was before.
Can you specify 18in wheels on the plus extended battery model?
where are the charging cables kept?

@notguilty5111 I do not endorse people ignoring family to play to Tetris, but enjoy that time to yourself 😅
Really handy, thank you
Is there hang for passenger?

How long does a brand new volvo take to arrive at the dealership from the factory please?
I would err on the side of caution and say 5-6 months for a brand new, factory order, though stock vehicles may be available for a quicker turnaround!
Absolutely love it

It is "core" version or "plus"? Thx.
Plus, core doesn’t have HK audio

Good video, but why doesn’t my ex30 connect to the internet?
Have you connected it to the EX30 app??
Glove compartment opened only through main console.....the one who decided on that never used a car before
Heated seats dont affect range... what twaddle, what charges the 12v battery?? Mist?? unicorn tears???
@alfoonus unfortunately not, unicorn tears were too expensive.

Is this MY24 or 25 ?
Hi, this was a MY24 EX30 which had software 1.2 I believe from memory!
Bloody Bueatifull indeed, very jealous from QLD

The centre screen is a mistake, as it comprises safety. A job for the facelift.
It’s just too complex for me. I want basic buttons for things like mirror adjustment etc… all this focus on one screen just doesn’t make sense, it may make it cheaper to build…
@chrislayeruk1 it is definitely a far cry from a more traditional vehicle, and not everyone's cup of tea!
How often do you need to adjust your mirrors? Set them once and you never have to again, set normal while driving normally, and in reverse they auto tilt in addition to 360 degree cameras.
That noise when touching the screen is annoying
You can switch that off in the settings
What noise? Mine doesn’t make a noise.
I’m sorry, no speedo directly in my vision line is a deal breaker for me. A heads up display would be good…
I thought this but test drove a tesla and one of these and you get use to it in 5mins. Its no different than looking down to the speedo, you just look left.
@@Paulruk I Agree. Had mine 2 weeks and it's second nature now. Don't disagree a HUD would've been handy.
Lost a sale simply because there's no spare wheel.
It's something which is always a negative as a lot of people like to have them, but how often do you need it?
Which new car nowadays has a spare wheel? Almost none of them
