Following what I actually wanted this to be which is a thread of other company news both good and bad.

Only bad seems to be availability. Some nice sideways insight into software problems other companies have.

I only popped one tire, which seems like a win

You certainly fooled us that your intent was a thread about both good and bad with other EVs. I’d suggest changing the thread title to reflect that if it truly was your intent.Following what I actually wanted this to be which is a thread of other company news both good and bad.

The goal was to be informed about other evs not being perfect. Somewhere to put articles on evs as almost no article is only about how good an ev is. So pretty every article has some “problems”.
The articles above had the lack of availability which is a problem
Also problems with other evs gives us insight into what can and cannot be fixed in ours easily. Or how fast or slow it could be fixed etc.

So now you’ve moved the goalpost back to where it was. You need to go take a spin and do some swooshing to clear your head.The goal was to be informed about other evs not being perfect.

Functionality and reliability of the infotainment systems always should be put through the 6yo test. If grade one student can figure it out the system is excellent. How this test looks like on XC40 Android:
-....
- Hey Google you are stupid.
-...I am sorry I don't understand.
- I said you are stupid.
This where test ended as I couldn't take it anymore.
Do this with any other infotainment? It is only on Volvo 😁
- Hey Google... Play my favorite song of Iron Maiden (don't ask. My little one loves Iron Maiden. His favorite song is Aces high.)
- Ok, playing the best of Iron Maiden.
- ...
- Hey Google, this is not my favorite song of Iron Maiden.
- Hey Google, I want my Iron Maiden favorite song.
- Ok, playing Iron Maiden songs.
-....
- Hey Google you are stupid.

Ouch, Hummer EV produces more CO2 than a gas-powered sedan.
Not sure is a manufacturing or quality problem but still painful.

That will depend on a lot on how clean the local grid is: Beyond Tailpipe Emissions
Also that's a MASSIVE battery pack, which generates a tremendous carbon footprint right from the start. I guess it's theoretically cleaner than a top-of-the-line Sierra or something, but that's IF and ONLY IF you're putting a lot of miles on it. Buying a monstrosity like that and then only using it occasionally would be incredibly wasteful.
Just saw this one, hot off the presses:
Mach-E Lawsuit for Safety Recall
Course, just because there is a lawsuit doesn't mean Ford is guilty, but it is a reflection of unhappy owners.

I wish Volvo would've kept the chip for my rear hatch - the only way I can trigger it is when the cord goes under by accident when I'm plugging in.

BMW recalls "small number" of i4 and iX electric vehicles over potential battery fires
Debris could cause the battery to short circuit.

It’s only a few fires.
Then there were these: Jaguar I-Pace catches on fire again – is this another Bolt EV battery fire situation?BMW recalls "small number" of i4 and iX electric vehicles over potential battery fires

It’s only a few fires.
Trouble is, every time there’s a problem, it makes the news. I think we’ve seen two or three active truck fires over the past three years driving down the Island highway. They make the news when they hold up traffic…

Ugh, more chip shortage issues - this time due to some scrapped batches of chips: Infineon chip flaws to disrupt IONIQ 5 EV production - KED Global
As someone hit by an order delay myself for the XC40, I feel for any IONIQ 5 reservation holders impacted by this.
