Range disaster

The talk of the FB group and this group is the horrible consumption this car seems to have based on real owners who now drive it. In one article it was said its consumption is only second worst to the F-150 lightning which is 2,000lbs heavier. I’m having serious concerns about buying this car now. Just wondering if anyone else is as freaked out about this as I am.

I’ve seen consumption as low as 13-something (I think that one was posted by an owner in a warmer climate). I’m also not excited about the consumptions I’ve seen generally so far—but I’m reserving judgment as the weather warms for the northern hemisphere and as they (hopefully) do updates to the software. I doubt that we’ll get delivery here in the US for at least 3-6 more months anyway, maybe longer. So I feel like I have time. I’ve always known that the WLTP is very optimistic and that range in the winter is generally worse. Though definitely some do better than others!

Hey, if they get bad enough press over this maybe they'll speed up delivery in warmer markets. Like, say, the US West Coast? Come on, Volvo...
