Yes it is. If you loose traction on one or more wheels then it pops up. It can pop up to warn you if any other car has lost traction around you, but it is not explained for how long the warning stays active.
Do you push your car hard at corners or roundabouts!?

Not really. Not since I bought it off the lease company and started paying for my own tyres.

It went through a phase of triggering almost every day on the approach to the roundabout near my house when I would have being doing only 20mph or so.

I thought the cloud was something to do with rain, but actually I guess it means that warning is coming from the computer cloud....

Wireless charging is already available on MY21 XC60’s and you can configure it in volvo official website - for Netherlands at least.

True... i have seen it already. Also a new advanced filter for cabine that keeps consistently and constantly monitoring particles, dangerous ones, inside and outside the vehicle. First image on the link, in the first comment in this thread. I feel cheated. Just because i bought mine October 2018 and a little more than one year has passed and MY21 has already a bunch of new things, just like illuminated running boards as an accessory.

A lot of stuff already. To not mention interior, panel doors and seats also, outside shiny blacks for the R-Design. I have never seen any other brand doing this. What other brands do, is that they make a restyling in the middle of the model life and they change more or less according to their decisions. Sometimes it's just a slightly change on the optics, sometimes it's the front bumper or rear one also and some minor changes in the interior.

But they (other brands) do not do this. Every damn year according to this bull**** of MY19, MY20, MY21, Volvo is always making changes. It's unfair to the ones who bought the car before.

XC60 is a late 2017 car, when it came out.
It almost seems that XC60 was projected and made like some kinda of fast food order and then after it was out, they are putting things back together, year by year. Still completing it... this is the idea i have. All these new things coming with MY21, should have been already a reality back when XC60 came out.

Other brands don't do this... i really like my car but Volvo is still such a wannabe brand. Volvo wants to be premium and it might be already but for sure a long way distance from the Germans.

In 4/5 years from now, when i will buy a new car, keeping the tradition alive i hope, if i am in good health, physically and financially speaking, i almost bet it won't be another Volvo.

These are my sincere words about what i think. I had to say what is in my heart. Sometimes a little bit disappointed with this brand i chose for my actual car.

Are you sure you are talking about the wireless charging of the car?
I don't see that option anywhere. Maybe something got messed up on your translation from Dutch to English?

I personally dont blame them for amending details slightly each year, they are hoping after 2 or 3 years we feel the ‘need’ to upgrade to the newer version. Apple have been very successful like this with their I-phones and my son/daughter and wife all fall for the new model marketing hype and ‘have’ to upgrade every 2-3 years (annually if they had their way). Again imho the annual Volvo upgrade can be a backward step - personally I much prefer the satin silver accents on the 2018-19 XC90 R-Design to the black on the 20 model. Also I prefer the 2018-19 model straight spoked alloy wheels to the ‘cranked’ spoke versions on the 20 version but I do understand others will feel differently and that is why there are so many versions/options available tank goodness.

What is this "wireless charging" is it the main battery, what does it need - a huge coil over which you park etc etc

Probably just refers to wireless charging of your smart phone - SHMBO has that in her Kona EV.

I honestly don't understand why you feel cheated that way? You do not need to buy a new car for every small change that comes with new MY?
