Polestar

Good news for anyone looking to buy the Polestar 3. Despite my initial quote, it seems there will be a price drop even on 2024 models.

Also, their website changed recently to show that the Plus package is no longer included in the Performance Pack package so they're going through some changes.

I put a deposit down for the P3 Performance model and the dealer said I was likely the first one in my city to order one.

Realized I just hit 30k and I’m gathering some of my thoughts to write up a quick review. anything specific you’d want to see in a 30k miles review? Cheers!

Installed a PPF wrap on my center console, no removal needed. Just installed the cut out on top with a slip solution.

Always a good thing to know as a Polestar 2 owner.

This morning I no longer could get my phone to connect as PAK. Luckily I have my activity key wrapped in foil hidden in the car. Definitely a bummer hopefully only a short term issue.

This dash cam is undoubtedly one of the finest options available in the market, offering a seamless OEM installation that is both swift and effortless.

Quick take: The Polestar 2 provides a great driver-oriented experience while being a quality daily. The competitive range will get you where you need on one charge. Although some interior design choices may leave you guessing and interior space may be an issue for larger owners, the performance and driving dynamics satisfy on all fronts.

I’ve been rocking OTA 2.9 on my Polestar 2 for a few weeks now, and I have to say, it’s been an impressive update.

One of the standout features for me has been the improved efficiency app. It’s a fantastic addition that I’ve been enjoying watching the graph change based on my driving and the road.

There was a poll a while back about Pilot Assist holding too far to the right or left. It was interesting to see mixed responses. Some folks agreed while others claimed they hadn’t experienced the issue at all.

I was one of the unlucky ones who experienced a problem on a particular stretch of highway where Pilot Assist would uncomfortably stick to the right side of the lane. However, with update 2.9, I haven’t encountered this problem again on the same stretch of road. It’s worth noting that there haven’t been any documented changes to how Pilot Assist functions, nor any modifications to the road (like repainting the lane markings, for instance).

All in all, I believe the 2.9 update is a significant step in the right direction for the Polestar 2. It’s great to see the company actively working on improving the driving experience. Kudos to the development team!
