Volvo’s gone cluster-less.

Remember the jeers Tesla got for having no instrument cluster or HUD in the Model 3? Now Volvo’s getting in on a similar design with the new EX30.

People worried about Model 3’s spartan design, revealed in 2016. And when it was finalized, people complained to CEO Elon Musk. He tweeted “you won’t care.” Now he’s got a world’s best selling car to prove his point.

Volvo C40 Recharge review: Volvo’s little electric rocket ship

Volvo didn’t need to make its smallest EV this powerful or this fun, but I’m glad it did. The acceleration is great and the range is sufficient, but the native Android operating system leaves a lot to be desired.
