EV general discussion

Not evolution, literally what Tesla did with the Model S. The Lucid Air and of course J1 platform for the Taycan.... which WASNT used for the PPE (Macan, A6) cars as its an expensive way to make cars.

Its a mechanism to make the smaller cars (likely RWD) rather than the same size cars with a complicated battery and foot garage. Thats the opening gambitt, rest is PR fluff.

Volvo doesnt make me think of a low slung saloon anyway. Soccer MUM SUVs, Luther and his Volvo, a 850 estate BTTC car or a 340 with a welded rear diff!

Indeed, we are trying to go smaller as our XC60 is too much of a big monster but look at that and go ooooh :D they've kept its design clean and simple and I prefer our Volvos software to nearly everything else I have tried, it is not intrusive at all though apparently that is year dependant based on what is mandatory that week and newer ones might be worse.

I also like the Polestar 5.....I must stop liking big tanks I don't need. :D

Is this the thing that makes them a write off after any crash as well because the chassis can't be replaced piecemeal anymore?

I'm still totally down tbh, I'm going to miss my estate when that goes
