I also had a deposit on an EX30 but after I sat in the rear seat (behind myself) I felt that it was just too small. Anyone know the relative screen sizes between the EX60 and R2? I can't seem to find the dimensions of the R2 screens anywhere.

Unlock the camp speaker! Anyone tried this yet?

There are several interesting features on the EX60 that I want to check out. One is the pixel headlights. The standard model has matrix headlights like the R2 but the Ultra trim comes with 25,000+ pixel headlights that steer with the car around curves. I'm also curious to see how the Google AI...

I like most things about the Volvo EX60 but I'm not too keen on the frameless front door windows. My past experience is that it's hard to get a good seal with that type of window. They always hiss at high speed. Maybe these are better than what I've had in the past.

Looks like Lexus will release details on their new 3-row EV (the TZ probably) on May 6th as well. More similar to the R1S in size but supposed to start at around $60K too.

I just noticed that the Volvo EX60 configurator for Canada has prices. If you do a direct conversion the base price comes out slightly below USD$57K. Not bad. It's nice that they don't charge extra for paint colors. https://www.volvocars.com/en-ca/build/ex60-electric/

Ford seems to be having fun with racing EVs. This one seems pretty insane. I saw the older one in person and it was crazy. https://www.engadget.com/transportation/evs/fords-mustang-cobra-jet-sets-a-new-ev-quarter-mile-record-at-687-seconds-112259793.html

If I remember right, they got 3.45 mi/KWh average in the iX3. Pretty impressive.

What do you think about Mercedes' massive display?

Kia has finally said that the EV3 will come to the USA this summer. Nice to see another small AWD EV option. I was sad to see the Volvo EX30 go but this could be even better. Wireless Android Auto and CarPlay is nice along with Harmon Kardon sound system and 300+ miles of range. Will be 400V to...

On "America's Culinary Cup" (Padma's new cooking show after Top Chef) they have been using a fleet of R1T and R1S vehicles to haul the chefs around.

You can play with the iX3 configurator on the BMW Canada page. No pricing yet though. They basically toss everything that's not included into the Premium Package which includes upgraded massage seats! There are a ton of wheels to choose from (12!) and several colors. There's also M Sport and M...

Yeah, I was initially excited for the EX30 thinking it would be similar to the R3 but it was poorly executed. Too little for too much. I tried to sit behind myself and the rear seat was basically unusable. Sad to see any EV get canceled though since it seems add fuel to the anti-EV agenda.

I assume that the R2 with LiDAR will not get a LE version so will probably end up costing a bit more than the LE R2 with the same equipment. Since I can't configure my LE R2 until June (for a possible July/August delivery, maybe) I wonder if there will be any timeline for LiDAR by then...

Too true. No one plays the long game anymore.

Bummer. I was very curious to see the Acura RSX. I like the way it looked but was worried about software as it was going to be one of the first based on the ASIMO OS.

I'm very curious to know the timeline for LiDAR. It was supposed to ship by the end of 2026. If I can't even configure my LE R2 until June and then maybe take delivery a month or two later, that leaves less than 6 months of production for models w/o LiDAR. I could be wrong but I got the...

That looks like a 20A socket. I wonder if they upped the rating of the output.
