Can't wait for this.

Looks awesome

[–] Elegast 1 points 1 year ago

yeah Laguna Seca was always rough for me. It took way longer than Id like to admit to get a decent(if that) time. But It is very fun in open wheel cars. Like others have said, F4 feels good there.

ah too bad. but you crash and you learn. I have to work more on tidy racing over faster lap times, but its fun to push. Good luck with future races!

So I had mainly driven tin tops on Laguna Seca. I found the turns to be very flowy and took a while to get used to.

But man are they fun in F4. I'm assuming the down force is the cause of the added fun. Penultimate turn is super fun.

Next week should be a fun week.

Huh had not thought of that but makes total sense. Good call

[–] Elegast 6 points 1 year ago

Awesome stuff, looking forward to it.

What exactly was it? it went dark when I happened upon it.

[–] Elegast 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

At least you were smart enough to still carry the key, as you should. Unfortunate that it failed on you though. Has it started working again?

[–] Elegast 2 points 1 year ago

Ah that's too bad. Hopefully, 2.10 comes out soon!

 

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

[–] Elegast 1 points 1 year ago

yup, sure does! This is great news.

[–] Elegast 1 points 1 year ago

That's sweet. I was poking around at the simhub shaker settings and its gonna be fun messing around with that. cheers!

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!
