Yes bought it. They gave me crazy money for my 2019 V60. $38,500, for a car I paid $26k in March. I took several test rides, up to 2 hours. Acceleration is crazy but the tires definitely limit the handling, very easy to get the rear to break loose accelerating out of a sharp turn. Very quiet and comfortable, a great place to be for longer trips. And a 100kW fast charger just popped out less than a km from my cottage, in case I need a quick fill up!
Man that's some crazy value you got for your V60.  Definitely makes the loss of that $5K federal rebate less of an issue.  So the tires are limiting it huh, I wonder what they put on it from factory.  I'm guessing it's some all season low rolling resistance tire that is great for mileage but terrible for handling.  I wonder how much a good set of performance tires would change the handling. 

Quick question, what is the warranty like on Ford's hybrid/electric vehicles?  I know my Toyota Hybrid stuff is covered for 8-10 years and wondering if it was similar for Ford.

Super cool! Look forward to hearing the impressions over time on a ‘regular’ EV

Before being hard on Ford for making it difficult to access the 12V battery, Tesla is also guilty of this sin.  James May had his 12V battery go flat and the rigmarole involved in getting to it was astounding.  https://insideevs.com/news/507029/james-may-tesla-model-s/

So got the car today, it is great real happy with the performance, ride and quietness. Fit and finish is quite good, interior is perfect, only bad point is the gap from windshield top to front of glass roof. On mine it is quite good (I selected that specific car on this) but some other cars not so great. The seats are comfy but they are not Volvo seats for sure. The tech is good and everything works as advertised. Handling is quite good for such a heavy vehicle but the 225 tires are undersized. Good news is the rear wheel bias so the tail will come out just a bit, but easy to control.

Just love the one pedal driving, very strong but easy to modulate after some time.

The dealer itself is probably the low point of the day. Car not fully detailed, dust on the dash, battery at 50%, certainly not what I was used to at my Volvo dealer. The kid who set up my phones and all settings was good, he knew the tech.

 Paint is good, could see no swirls or defects.

Glass roof is very good at controlling the heat, over 32C here today and did not feel the heat from it, much better than the Volvo’s where without the shade we would be cooking in there.

Pics to follow..
