Volvo Leadership Admits to Delays in EX90 Electric SUV Production
Stockholm, Sweden – In a shocking development, Volvo’s leadership has confirmed that the highly-anticipated EX90 electric SUV will be delayed, sending shockwaves throughout the automotive industry.
According to a leaked email obtained by our sources, Volvo’s leadership cited "production line issues" and "component shortages" as the primary reasons for the delay. The email, sent to top-tier executives and stakeholders, reads:
"Dear colleagues and partners,
I am writing to inform you that, regrettably, we have made the difficult decision to delay the launch of our new EX90 electric SUV. Despite our best efforts, we have encountered unforeseen production line issues and component shortages that will impact our ability to meet the original launch timeline.
We understand the significance of this delay and are committed to working tirelessly to rectify the situation as quickly as possible. We are exploring all available options to mitigate the impact and are confident that we will emerge from this challenge stronger and more resilient than ever.
We will provide regular updates on the status of the EX90 and appreciate your understanding and cooperation during this time.
Sincerely,
[Volvo Leadership Team]"
The EX90 was set to be unveiled in the first quarter of 2023, boasting a range of up to 300 miles on a single charge and a 0-60mph acceleration time of just 6.2 seconds. With the delay, Volvo will likely face increased competition in the electric SUV market, where rivals such as the Tesla Model Y and the Audi Q4 e-tron are already making waves.

I don't know why but I just emailed a whole lot of Volvo USA leadership and CEO on EX90 delivery delays and lack of clarity. I'm not hoping it will make my car delivery quicker but maybe get some clarity. Or maybe I'll get nothing but a usual acknowledgment. No harm in trying though đ
Dear Volvo Team,
I donât know where to start, but the experience of pre-ordering EX90 and waiting for its delivery has been very painful and disappointing. It makes it worse due to the lack of communication, contradictory statements and utter misleading statement from the top Volvo leadership.
I pre-ordered EX90 as soon as it was announced in USA in Nov 2022 (Reservation Number: 0000xxxx ; Order ID: US-000xxxxxxx) . When the initial news came out of the delay I was totally understanding and still eagerly waiting. But going into 2024 and still having no clarity, is totally unacceptable from Volvo as a brand. It seems that Volvo is taking its customers for granted and doesnât even care about them.
I configured my vehicle and it was approved also by my dealer on 15 July 2024. I have chatted with Volvo customer care (through Volvo app) twice since and asked when my delivery will happen, because the app still says my vehicle is Ready for built since the last 2 months and keeps showing changing estimates. The customer care simply say ask your dealer. When I told them that dealer isn't manufacturing the vehicle and cannot do anything unless Volvo builds and delivers it, they have no answer, and just apologize.
When I check with my dealer, they say that they see the delivery dates changing constantly but have no clue as to why itâs happening and points to Volvo. The customer care says this is what our management has told us to tell the customers if they complaint and we cannot help you any further.
Can someone really tell me what is happening ? When will I get my EX90? Will I really get it this year or not? Did I make a mistake by pre-ordering and waiting for EX90? How can I still have confidence in Volvo?
Thanks for listening to my concerns and hoping for a clear and honest response.

You will get a boiler plate answer from PR because they can’t provide you any details that haven’t been provided publicly already. These kind of emails work if you are asking for a specific action that is reasonable like a refund, asking help with a dealer not honoring warranty etc.
Volvo earlier stated that they will not build cars in order and customize each one (like Mercedes, Audi does). Instead they will build them in batches with certain configurations and deliver them to matching customers which will be unknown delays depending on your configuration.
