Polestar 2

In many ways it could be construed as the BMW 3 series of the E46 era forward in terms of sales rep machine. Looks well, nice place to be tight driving machine. Modern version of this type of motorway muncher

I've just been on Polestars website today. Fair play, they appear to have got their s**t together again. Nice to see available (new) cars and the configurator back up and running. That 41k asking price for a new (old shape) P2 was really hurting values for a while, although a lot of people got some great deals in the past 6-8 months.

That's a decent price you got on the tyres, hard to get better than that

Just sold the Model 3 and got a decent deal on this 23 LRSM Plus in Magnesium.

Have to say the magnesium is probably the nicest car colour I've seen on the road.

The software isn't really in the same league as Tesla but from the reviews I was expecting a lot worse. It's still relatively snappy and the layout is decent. Having the screen behind the wheel is a godsend for navigation. Several times I've had some near lane cross incidents in the model 3 looking over at the map.

One annoyance though is the android automotive in house Youtube music app. On the tesla I had pages i could use to jump through my longer playlists. On this I can only see like….. maybe 10-15 songs around the song I'm currently on, which makes easily navigating my longer lists essentially impossible. Anyone know a way around this? Is there a better app that I could download which can wrap up my youtube music playlists in a nicer UI?

I'd also be interested in what people think of the battery health and charging habits. I normally charge in work. As I don't have a charger at home. This worked well on the model 3 as I don't drive a huge amount and Tesla actually recommends you charge the LFP battery to 100 once a week. So I'd charge to 100 and be sitting at 92-95 by the time I'm home. Should i do this with the P2? They recommend a 90% limit. Should I charge to 95 then sit on 90 once I'm home? 90 → 85 ? 100 → 95 ? Is the battery in this thing even susceptible to damage over short medium term doing something like this?

Cheers for any feedback from owners.

Nice. I've the same colour as well. I usually prefer darker coloured cars but wanted something silver as I was fed up of black. When Magnesium is clean on a bright day it's a lovely silver colour but admittedly in the winter it just looks white.

I charge to 90%. The charging timer in the car is bulletproof.

The software in my car has gone downhill a bit since I bought the car. Updates aren't helping this and appears to be buggy but nothing I can't live with as otherwise Android Automotive is the next best thing to what Tesla offers. I can't stand Android auto or apple carplay.

Drove by PS4 on the road yesterday in black. Eye catching machine.
