Impressive price considering the 27.5% tariff.

Fuck Tesla for making an iPad glued to the dashboard the standard and only controls. I hate it so much.

I guess the one small upside to Volvo’s platform is that it is Android Automotive, and unlike Telsa, it has a voice assistant that isn’t trash. So at least you can reliably yell at the thing to turn the heater up.

Actually really like what I see of the EX30 but not seeing anything about the us tax credits for it. The dual motor runs up the price to 45k ish, but would be a steal for 40k.

There is no tax credit as the car is made in China. The fact it is still so "cheap" even with a 27.5% import tax is impressive.

It will be made in Belgium after 2025, at least the european ones.
