P8 free servicing?

Do you know if you definitely get free servicing for 3 years when purchasing the pure electric P8?

Also has anyone bought the car cash (without volvo care subscription) and still got the 3yr servicing?

Also what is the servicing schedule for these cars?

XC40 Recharge Single motor

Hi,
Anyone got any experience of driving / owning the XC40 Recharge Single motor / FWD / 231 HP?
Considering this but wandering if it drives well.
Which is the best trim price vs useful features? I was considering the Plus?

Thanks

Re: T4 Recharge PHEV or T3?

Thanks but what put me off the B4 was I read the fuel economy is particularly worse comparing it to the T3

Which options / packs are a must?

Looking to order a XC40 R Design. Never ordered a new car before so don't want to miss something or order wastefully. I appreciate this is quite subjective but which extras would you definitely recommend? I don't want to spend excessively. I was thinking of: Park assist - mainly so I can get front p...

Re: T4 Recharge PHEV or T3?

I now have changed my mind and will buy the car outright rather than leasing it given the deal I'm getting. I intend to keep it long term (10yrs hopefully). Is there anything I should be aware of with the PHEV costing me more long term with battery & EV problems / battery replacement costs etc/ ...

Re: T4 Recharge PHEV or T3?

After doing the fuel cost calculations on both I calculate they both will cost a very similar amount over the 4 years taking into account the lease and fuel costs. I'm just wandering if in this case the PHEV is worth the extra hassle of plugging it in to charge it every night? Or if the B4 mild hybr...
