The Tesla has a much greater pedal movement between "zero throttle" and full regen, allowing for a graduated application of the regen braking by easing off the pedal; there's very little movement between the two on the EX30, making it quite difficult to feather the accelerator pedal smoothly. For example it's very easy on the Tesla to balance the car to a steady speed going downhill, virtually regardless of gradient, but the regen is virtually "on or off" on the Volvo. I keep the Tesla permanently on maximum regen setting (which is stronger than the EX30) because it is totally controllable.
Anyone else noticing power is restricted in colder temps?

Actually I don’t remember if my model 3 had any regen settings other than on or off. Maybe they’ve added strength as a variable in recent OTA updates but actually that’s what I liked about it.
EX30 1 pedal isn’t great in 2 wheel drive and almost useless in AWD performance (used to be greyed out but is an option now not that I can tell).
My EV9 has far too many settings, some in the cars settings, others a choice of 4 levels (I-pedal) and a few auto settings! Level 3 is best for motorway when you’re not using autodrive as it allows a bit of coasting. I pedal works in town but is very jerky. The auto settings are meant to use the sensors and stuff but far too often I’ve nearly rear ended someone having to apply the brake pedal last minute so don’t trust them at all.
Tesla by far the most reliable and accurate. You can floor it, back off, and be at a standstill relatively smoothly.

Yeah, I’ve noticed the same thing with my EV when it gets cold—it just feels a bit slower, even with all the performance settings cranked up. I think it’s just the battery trying to protect itself since lithium batteries don’t love the cold. I usually try to precondition it while it’s still plugged in, which helps a little, but honestly, once it’s around freezing, there’s not much you can do to completely avoid that sluggish feeling. It’s pretty normal, though, from what I’ve seen.
