I own an XC40 BEV (now renamed EX40) and it's a much better car. The SPA platform was pretty mature by that point.

I sat in an EX90 demonstrator a year ago at the dealer and was told not to touch anything inside the cabin. The car wasn't ready back then and, from reading owners forums now, it's still not fully baked.



The Polestar 2/EX40 probably have the most mature software of that lineup. Not without issues (and certainly underpowered pre-‘24), but relatively stable by comparison.

I don’t understand the logic of having each Polestar model running a unique software stack rather than progressively improving one system across all models - but must be a downstream impact of the fractured Geely badges.


Also the Volvo C40 (same platform). I've been driving it since January and other than the software being slow to start up when it goes into sleep mode, it's been stable.

They did recently issue a software recall for the backup camera, so now when the backup camera crashes it goes into 360 camera mode instead of just a black screen.

Overall I'm happy with this car though and would recommend it.


I haven't upgraded the firmware since 2.14.3 and it's been just fine. And probably fewer headaches than the owners that have been keeping up to date.


I’ve been eyeing the CPO P2s. Sub-30k is tempting depending on the year.


Tons of P2's out there even sub 25k, mostly lease returns. Great value.
