you're wrong, without OPD you can still regen by applying the brake. it's not like a tesla where you don't get any regen through the brake pedal.

[chrisdaniel]

With OPD off you can drive the EX30 car very smoothly, it does NOT totally coast, it still applies a small amount of regen, just returned from a local trip going down a gradual gradient, the EX30 still gradually slowed down!. You dont get the ‘free wheeling neutral’ feel. With my id3 and OPD off it gathered speed down the same gradient . Plus the auto brake does not engage when you come to a stop, The OPD off mode works for me and my wife, its great😊

Hi Big fan over the years watching your id3, my family id3 is leaving the drive on Friday after 3.8 years, replaced by an EX30. I don’t agree with your assumptions for the following reasons, I placed the one foot driving option on the custom steering wheel so it’s easy to toggle on and off. I agree the regen is more sensitive on EX30, its simple to disengage, when you disengage there is no NO AUTO BRAKE like the reverse, so its really easy in traffic is just coasts and in fact smoother than the id3. Plus you can simply apply more regen if required via the brake. No big deal.

Lane departure warning will only vibrate the wheel to warn you when you're crossing -or about to cross- a lane divider marking. It will NOT steer. You are in total control with it ON. Only the lane keep assist and pilot assist can control steering.

Mattias, according to your experience could you please tell what mode (regen or no regen) is more efficient regarding range?
It looks logical that to get better range we have to brake less (when possible, for sure safety first), so coasting on EV should give better economy than using regen.
But it is theoretical point of view without practical experience )

[AndrewNC]

The weak acceleration at the start is there to protect the tyres and we should be thankful for that option in EVs.🙂

Sounds like there is surprisingly a lot of wind noise inside the cabin, even the Tesla Model 3 Highland sounds quieter

6:19 Made med laugh out my nose. Funny! Good review, this is what I want to know about smart cars. By the way, 110 km/h on that tiny road. I Sweden I think 80 would be the limit. Danger close!

7:35: "move it a bit backward you have way too strong regen." Solution: move the pedal a little bit LESS backward. Problem solved. It's like when you modulate your deceleration with a brake pedal . . . modulation.

First thing to say, I think you provide one of the most informative car reviews, however I think you're too critical about the efforts that the EU is making to reduce road traffic accidents. Driving within speed limits is safer.
I always set my ID.3 to the speed limiter, unless I'm on the motorway, then I use the cruise control.
You talk like the speed bong is a mistake or something intrusive.

It would be helpful if you have the opportunity in future--in 6 or 12 months, say--to see which, if any, of the deficiencies you have identified have been corrected through OTA software updates, considering that most if not all of those problems are software-related. Over the 18 months I have owned my 2023 C40 Volvo has made many significant improvements through OTA updates, so I think that EX30 buyers have reason to be confident that at least some of the initial problems they experience will be fixed relatively quickly.

What is this car doing in a Tronity video?

[Andrea-kg]

I installed Waze but I can't use it. As soon as I start driving, the application stops working. How can I fix this problem?

[PetriKarhunen]

You are wrong. Autobrake can be turned off. Press brake and auto brake comes off.

[boenill]

If you must turn off all of that assist systems every time you use the car...😳 Then the car is a "no go" for me!😉
