Maxus e-Deliver 3 i Norge har IKKE Android Auto eller Apple CarPlay

 This post will be in norwegian, as it (as far as I know) only applies to the norwegian market. English tldr at the bottom.  Jeg har nylig blitt deleier av en Maxus e-Deliver 3 , og har oppdaget noe som jeg syns må få større oppmerksomhet.  Alle anmeldelsene jeg så rundt denne bilen i forkant, viste at denne har Android Auto og Apple CarPlay. Men når vi kjøpte vår, oppdaget vi at USB-porten tiltenkt dette manglet.

We also despise all the greasy maintenance, all the weird fluids and moving parts, having to visit the gas stations etc. It had to be relatively cheap. But the cheapest electric cars have terrible range. So we had to go a bit up in price. Owning a car is in itself a money pit in my mind. So for it to make a bit more financial sense, we're going to rent it out as much as possible. So what's the car? A 2020 Maxus e-Deliver 3! (Photo: Maxus.no) The short body, with the big...
