New thread for owners to discuss driving experience / challenges with the 2021 XC40 Recharge.
Not helpful beyond what you said.. but this is what the dealer I asked said: "I spoke with the people at Volvo on Call and confirmed with them that the accident notification or SOS button on the car is active and ready to use in the event of an emergency it will automatically activate in the event of an accident. The on call application for the recharge has not been launched yet and will not be ready just yet. I was told that the ETA would coincide with the arrival of all stock units in early spring of 2021."My only complaint is that we don't have an app right now. Does anyone have any details other than "Spring 2021"?
So I guess I lucked out by getting one that the dealer had. Crazy, but I'm glad they're trying to get the app working. It really is the worst thing about this car because manually preconditioning becomes a chore. Fingers crossed you guys get your XC soon.I just go a note from Volvo - had my VIN weeks ago. The car has landed in Port Hueneme, however they are not releasing it to the dealer until the solve the app and software update. They would give no timeline.
Congratulations!I am a new owner with the car.
And, I love the car.
Congrats! Just over in Jersey side of New Hope here. Excited to get my custom order soon. And agree on technology folks not having issues with settings and customizations.
- This thing is stupid fast. I am struggling to understand why there isn't an "economy" mode where you trade some of the acceleration for better range. Don't get me wrong, I live in Philadelphia, we have tons of suicide ramps, so I love it for those merges. However for longer drives I could lose 20% of my acceleration and still better faster than most cars.
We randomly stumbled on that this week. Yes good humor and review. Confirmed what we knew. Now if only Volvo can master the rollout.This UK based reviewer of EV's has a good sense of humor Volvo XC40 First Drive - Old Dog, New Tricks? Or Best of Breed?
