    I got my car on the 15. May, including 1.3.1 and I don’t have any of these issues. Only thing I have noticed, was that one specific radio station, changed to another, after around half a minute. Somehow, the problem is not there anymore. Everything works really well, so I am puzzled about all these issues, other owners seems to be having.

    • @siasek

      That's great that you haven't had any of these issues (other than the peculiar radio glitch). It is strange that only some owners have them. And some have a lot, some just a few and others have none, like yourself. I noticed the same thing while doing research for my MG4 videos. I suppose the inconsitencies may be one of the challenges in trying to fix things

      That's right, I'll have to look into complaints about the Polestar 2, which has had Android Automotive for a few years now, so it must be very well tuned, but apparently they're no longer working with Volvo.🤨 VW also had years of experience with software and then they threw it all away and the ID family came along, which is absolutely tragic in this regard.

    I ordered the Volvo EX30 Single motor, Extended range in July 2023, because of the Volvo brand, the good design and several overly enthusiastic product presentations. I canceled the contract after two test drives this year because the Volvo brand claims to be Premium but It’s not any more. In my opinion the whole thing is not ready, not reliable, not stable, a constant on and off. Although the car is in the market for some time now there are still too many flaws. I fear some of them are permanent at least for the first batch of cars. It is still 54 T€ for the Ultra trim of this car. Here’s a list of problems and issues from my point of view: • The car drives ok, but it is not above average in any other regard than the 200KW electric motor, that is certainly overpowered and not required. A lower power consumption (it is mostly above 20kWh/100km) would have been appreciated instead. • The Noise level on the highway is not Premium. The nice glass roof of the Ultra-Trim seems to have a negative effect. • Radio (DAB+) is really bad and braking is shutting it down. • No Apple Car Play and no Android Auto although at least the first was promised. • Smartphone Bluetooth connection not stable. • The door opening system is unreliable - you never know if the car opens or closes as you expect. • Unstable internet connectivity in the car although 4G/5G is available. • The Assistant systems are not ready - traffic sign recognition and driver alert are crap, lane assist and emergency braking systems can be dangerous because of massive impact on the steering and braking. • Inside material quality is also not Premium and the seats can get uncomfortable, sweaty in summer. • With the central display Volvo is following Tesla. But it is smaller and has a vertical orientation. Not too bad but compared to Tesla it is even more overloaded and has a non-logical, fragmented menu structure. No HUD and no display in front of the driver forces to look to the middle. As a consequence the car is constantly beeping and displaying small messages on the screen. At least nerve wracking, if not plain dangerously distracting.

    • @siasek
      @siasek 4 дні тому

      wow, that's wild. You'd think someone from Volvo would have noticed these issues before going to market, this is truly ridiculous. The fact that there's no driver display or HUD is the reason I knew I wouldn't go for it, it does seem dangerous to me, though I've had other owners tell me it's fine. But the other issues you mention are really unacceptable in a brand new car. As I often ask myself these days, did anyone from Volvo bother to take the car for a spin? 🙄

    I’ve had the same issue with the alarm going off randomly. In my case, it looks like this problem happens when the wireless key tag is kept within a certain range of the car. The issue stopped once I changed the place where I store my keys inside the house (far away from the car). I also have the problem where the autopilot configuration is lost after turning the car off. This happens with the lane-changing assistant and the distance to the car in front.

    If you fast charge the MG4 up to its max of 97% you run the risk of destabilising the battery. You get NO warning, but the following charge has to be the slowest one possible. Otherwise you will not be able to charge the car. It is extremely impractical when on a trip, where you need to fast charge on the way. In other words: Do not attempt to fast charge over 90%. A

    I don't own an EX30 but interested in the design and technology as used in the bigger cars. I dislike the use of the screen for routine and essential buttons and controls. You have to take your eyes off the road to use these. Until this is addressed, either by international/national vehicle standards, I won't drive any car with the technology. Most of my driving is done on rural roads, often with poor sightlines, hidden dips in the road, blind corners, etc. There also a variety of road surface issues such as potholes, irregular surfaces, reverse camber, deep surface water, mud, irregular road widths, no road markings at all (yes, not even a centreline. Such vital routine functions should be traditional buttons which barely take a glance to reach and activate, surely ergonomics experts would tell you that functions should be as efficient to operate as possible. Using a screen is dangerous, lazy and cheap. I would like to be able switch off the screen, particularly at night. Can you use the navigation from the steering wheel like older models?

      the lack of a driver display is a big disappointment for me in the EX30 from the start.

I basically agree with everything you wrote and personally find the lack of physical buttons in modern cars quite annoying. What do you mean by controlling navigation from the steering wheel?

    Radio keeps dropping out Also if you speak to Google then it interrupts the radio and you cannot re engage unless you reset... Which you can't do on the road

      @@siasek yes it did. Tray drive over now and I can state the following issues I had 1 no remote unlock for the car....you have to stand by the drivers door with the key. Silly and annoying when you just want to access the passenger side to grab stuff. 2 radio frequently drops out and goes silent at seemingly random intervals. 3 speaking to Google to perform actions would.render the radio silent and useless until reset Aside from that I got quite used to the minimalist feel and user interface

    I'm using Amazon music with no real issues It may be a little slow but has never cut out Digital radio does drop off frequently.... But if you grew up listening to FM radio then you tend to just accept this .... Even though you should not

      Good to know about Amazon music, I haven't really heard feedback about it. Thanks for letting me know! The radio cutting out in the middle of a song (specially a banger) is of course not the end of the world but...! very much a buzzkill

      they definitely seem to outlast the newer models.. just like most older technology. We used to build things to last and now they're built more to sell new ones fast. I know some people who's CTR monitors are still going strong after 30 years

    I started my test drive yesterday and can confirm following from my initial experience 1 DB radio drops out randomly and sometimes when I dictating... No firm cause, seems random 2 Range predictor works now 3 I absolutely hate the steering wheel controls which are a flat black discs that you have to jab away at to change volume etc 4 auto charge is limited to 6amp and does need to be changed in menu 5 key fob only works at drivers door so you can't access the car from any other side. Wish there was an unlock button. I feel like Volvo decided to eliminate buttons as their key criteria

    • @siasek
      @siasek 18 днів тому

      Hi, I totally get your complaints! 3) The buttons on the steering wheel are just stupidly designed, the whole surface is really un-ergonomic, it's just savings at any cost at the expense of maneuverability 4) the software 1.3.1 should have solved this so the car remembers the highest value (32A) 5) is there possibly a way to set this in the infotainment, to unlock only the driver's side? I had this option in my e-Golf, so wondering if this could possibly be a specific setting

    Lame assists I turn off everytime I disable everything as lane assist is dangerous it does not help it's very aggressive

    • @siasek
      @siasek 18 днів тому

      I've heard that from so many people! it's ridiculous. Some have taken to calling it Lane Kill Assist 😬Several drivers have suggested turning the intensity to the lowest setting so that it's not so aggressive should you forget to turn it off before driving.

    Who else is having these annoying connectivity issues in Volvo EX30? Let’s share some solutions! 😊

    • @LxStPW

      I had some issues at the beginning and got error messages when I tried to set it up correctly in the app. Finally I asked my Volvo dealer to remove my EX30 from my Volvo ID. Then I deleted my Volvo ID, I created a completely new one with another email address, added my EX30 to that new ID and requested for the internet in the car from the app. After a few hours I got the confirmation from Vodafone and from that point in time it was working without any issues and still working. I am still using 1.2.1

      Apple Car Play or even better Android Auto(pleaseeeeeee)...but seems that it's taking too long or maybe never. Google has absolutely a bunch of top apps even a good enough OS(Android) and some features that works like a charm...but when they start to develop a "new world" OS or functionality to be used by third party enterprises...seem that they're dragging their feet with these new developements. It's Android Automotive or Wear OS. IMO It's better not to depend on Google, if you have to implement it in a third party system. For me, and maybe for everyone, probably prefers using Android Auto(or the Apple thing for it) while they don't fix these problems...but they deny us that possibility

    • @siasek
      @siasek 21 день тому

      It's a big disappointment that neither Android auto nor Carplay are available, Renault has had both in Android Automotive from the start, wireless and it works perfectly. I don't understand what they're doing over at Volvo.
