Hi all- I was happy to find an active forum for XC40 owners and thought I'd introduce myself.
My first car was a Volvo sedan bought via Craigslist (a different time!) and I've always had an affinity for the brand. Thanks to COVID and some other factors, I decided to finally give up the public transit lifestyle and get an EV - a 2022 XC40 Recharge Ultimate in Denim Blue.
So far, I love the car! Really appreciate the smooth ride and comfortable interior. I also am enjoying Android Automotive, although it seems like there are some bugs others are describing on this forum. The dealer installed the v1.7 software update before I picked it up, so not sure if that's why I haven't had much issue (yet?). Apple CarPlay would be nice, but for my needs (music/podcasts, maps including charging station access, vehicle charging settings), the native system works very well.
I also test drove the Polestar 2 and the Audi e-tron. Didn't want to wait for the Q4 e-tron and heard Audi is nickel-and-diming customers on a lot of features, so it came down to Polestar and the XC40. I'm very happy with my choice!
