500: maintenance mode

Greetings from the Engine Room!

Sorry, but there's really nothing to see here right now. Our server is in maintenance mode – and our little bot is trying to sort the error messages with its last bit of energy.

Whether it was a data leak, a power outage in the cluster, or just a grumpy bit – we don't know yet. But what we do know is:

The data drama escalated into a server meltdown. But don't worry: We're on it.

What now?

Everything is surely running smoothly over at our colleagues from inside digital – why not stop by!
Or you could pass the time by visiting our social media channels – for example Instagram, YouTube or TikTok. At least there are no server problems there – promised.

Thanks for your patience. Our bot is already rebooting at full speed. 🔧

Volvo EX40 Review: Comfortable Electric SUV With a Major Caveat

Are you ready for the all-electric Volvo EX40? This is an SUV that is as expressive as it is versatile. Although Volvo has come under the Chinese manufacturer Geely for several years now, the development of this electric car took place in Sweden. We put this electric car through its paces for two weeks in a comprehensive review and discovered many positive aspects. However, this whirlwind romance did not conclude on an entirely positive note. The reason behind it? The SUV made an uncharacteristic mistake on the highway.
