Our car owner is a Volvo tuner. It’s pretty neat.

The inclusion of Ohlins dampers that are not cockpit adjustable is...weird. They do that on the Polestar 2, as well.

Yeah I agree. The people who would actually know what they are and actually bother to adjust them likely wouldn’t buy this car.

A few further comments on it:
It's very cool. It looks really, really good.
Noise in the car is surprisingly loud. Louder than the E90. The actual sound of the drivetrain is awful, but it moves.
The dampers are really nice. I love how it rides.

Would I buy it? Hell no.
