That’s a pretty repulsive looking thing compared to your own @svensktoppen
It's a Volvo thing

They're not pretty it has to be said, lol. But neither are most EV to be honest.
I think it's something to do with the odd proportions. Basically to fit all the batteries without losing cabin space they all end up sitting like a cross-over. The Polestar is actually based on an XC40.
But then they get "designed" to try and hide that and pretend they're saloons. Narrow window lines, low waist lines, etc.
Except there's no room for a boot in an actual saloon shape, having all those batteries underneath, so they end up as hatches.
So it's all a bit of a mess.
It's not just the Polestar, the others do the same.

Had seen this at a show before, possibly the Dundrod UGP run up at Killead, loved it! Colour and wheels work great. Have a red 2door with minilites in my ultimate garage!

I sold my T5 a while ago but now I'm back home in a Volvo and am a very happy bunny.

Nope, wish it was that easy - tried replacing the batteries - no joy. i then had the remotes tested by Mr Magic (auto spark type guy in Finaghy) who said they are sending out the right signal so must be the car is not receiving it. i have tried all sorts to getting the fobs working again. Checked Vida Dice and nothing is throwing a fault, and i even replaced the RRX (radio receiver module) and still no joy. Im at a loss, and any suggestions at all are welcome
