Leasing does take the risk out but you are paying the lease companies running costs and profits. Assuming they get their sums right leasing will always cost more but be safer. Depends if you like a risk but also if you can accurately estimate your mileage. I regularly do 18k a year but during...

I’m not worried re the 9.3 kw issue as all UK home chargers are limited to 7kw as we only have single phase to domestic properties. However it seems bizarre that it charges to 25% before the scheduled time. Does this happen if you the schedule the time on the charger not the car which is what I...

Test drove a Macan 4 on steel followed by a Turbo on air. Air was streets more comfortable on poor UK roads. No contest. Also the abilty to adjust ride height would be worth it for that alone

I would tell them to reorder and provide you with a loan car until your new order arrives. They are in breach of contract. In UK I had a similar issue with Polestar not supplying my car as ordered and after some negotiating and raising at high level ( I sent Linked in message to CEO) they...

Many thanks for your fascinating reports. The first thread I look at each morning ( when I get to see them in UK). Really interesting and encouraging for those of us waiting for dellivery

I am is same position. I never listen to music only speech and I want the extra space plus the saving is significant to be spent on extras I want. I have Bose in my Polestar ( part of package) and haven’t noticed an issue when I have driven loan car without them. I would still like to hear from...

I feel for those with problems. However every new EV and indeed ICE with sophisticated software has initial teething problems. Come to that so does any piece of new high tech. Think of IPhones initial issues. I have had a Polestar for last three years. The early ones were beset by software...

This is the invite I got by email even before I had confirmed order. To be fair my SA was surprised it arrived then. So either because I complained that I had been invited to pre view in London as promised or just they jumped the gun.

In UK I got an email offering this for anytime in next two years before I had even confirmed my order or locked in an allocation (which I have now done). My SA suggested waiting until I had my car until I took it up to get most benefit

That’s interesting. I haven’t got my Macan yet but in my Polestar 2 the best range by far is long distance at constant speed on motorway. I easily get 240 in summer 200 plus miles in winter at 75mph whereas shorter journeys or twisty roads with acceleration deaccelerstion hits range. It’s not...

Thanks so much. Looks like this is an Aventurine Green and I specd 4S 20” wheels on my 4 in this colour as I didn’t think the Standard 20” looked right with a dark colour (looked OK on Ice Grey). Delighted I did as they look good.

My understanding is it doesn’t raise it higher but the off road front bumper increases the angle of approach (if that’s right word) so you have more clearance. The rest of the off road package is purely cosmetic so I only ordered the bumper

Not sure they are really comparable at least here in UK. To get an Xdrive 50 ( and a 40 has much worse range and performance) you are talking of a minimum of £105,00 which is 50% more than a Macan 4 and it’s a much bigger car which isn’t ideal for our small country roads. Probably great for...

I think you are worrying too much. The issues with remote hacking were very real a few years ago and still are for older cars. However all modern remote access keys (including Porche) go to sleep after a minute of so of not moving and don’t broadcast a signal that canbe picked up. In addition...

In a. word no. Are you also going for the rwd version based on this? I am sure rwd and steel drives well around town where most of these versions will be sold. Pretty good review but Car and other UK websites like to push base model is best I test drove a 4 on steel followed by turbo on air...

There was an adventurine green 4 with off road package and 21” off road wheels on my dealer. Looked superb bout no photos allowed on dealership

Oops 2025 not 2095 I’m not that patient!

Really sorry for all you who are waiting. One query. Mine not due for delivery until early 2925 so not affected at present. One query are you not being provided with loan cars during delay? I had a delay in UK with my Polestar ( a long story they managed to sell my car to someone else the day...

Not that simple unfortunately. Yes stop go town driving uses less than high speed on runs. However short journeys from cold crucify range as battery never warms up. Good example in my Polestar I can easily get 240 miles on a long run on motorway at constant 75 mph. We aren’t limited to 60...

I really think you shouldn't worry about it. Modern batteries are very resilient. Most of the advice was about early days before they had good management systems. I have had a Polestar for three years and charge it to 90% whenever it drops much below 50% or when going on a trip. Happy to charge...
