I hadn't heard about the Volvo one! I had a 2022 Volvo C40 before I got my Rivian R1T.
When I first got the Volvo the GPS and LTE connection would periodically stop working for a day or two. They pushed a fix for it. Later they added CarPlay, which wasn't there when I got the car. Good updates. But not as frequent at Rivian.
Was Volvo able to fix it with another OTA or did people have to go in for service?
- earthscienceman 3y agoImagine being rich enough to buy high end cars every year and worry about OTA updates. What a world.
- ohthatsnotright 3y agoBeats being so poor you can't afford a car, or the only car you can afford is slowly rusting itself away or one no-longer-mass-produced part away from making a repair out of your financial reach. I'd take bad OTA updates anyday.
- rokkitmensch 3y agoGP is referencing the "having the being stolen from stolen". Nevermind that the wealthy ain't fretting for one second over OTA updates. Imagine a personal vehicle budget where the Porsche is technically your daily driver, but you never drive it because you're driven everywhere. A /personal IT team/. A boy can still dream!
- applied_heat 3y agoSeems like this batch of half baked cars receiving OTA updates are more likely to be the ones that are in repairable in the not so distant future, whereas parts for a 1990s toyota gmc or ford anything can be found cheaply and installed by any ambitious teenager.
- JumpCrisscross 3y ago> had a 2022 Volvo C40 I tried to buy one, but the dealer in Montana was such a pain about it! How did you like it as a car?
- kelp 3y agoI liked it a lot. Not great range, but new ones improved that and I still road tripped it all up and down the west coast. Sometimes regret selling it.
