2022 Polestar 2 - Winter Road Trip to our Mountain Cabin.

[@shooterx9083]

Cabin looks great! Thank you for the Polestar 2 content. We are loving our new Polestar 2

[@Vegard-Driving-Somewhere]

Thanks! 😊

[@electrifiedmotors]

Cudos for flying the drone. Cabin looks amazing! Polestar in white looks amazing in the snow, great looking car.

[@Vegard-Driving-Somewhere]

Thanks! 😊

[@gudarian372]

It would be nice if you could do a charging video including charging in various cold temperatures. That would be very informative for us who are considering a Polestar. 😊

[@Vegard-Driving-Somewhere]

That is a great suggestion and I will try to do that soon 👍

[@Wesensteen]

With preheating on. Obd2 data? (Batterytemperatures prior to connecting to Supercharger). Temp outsider and speeds 10-80%....

[@Ares22637]

Nice video, I’m looking for a polestar 2 to,your cabin is great, I hope you will make a video with the cabin when is finished

[@Vegard-Driving-Somewhere]

Thanks Ares :) I`ll try to do that soon 👍

[@lars-erikchristophersen3266]

Nice cabin👍😀

[@BrazierPaul]

Beautiful scenery and great photography. Looks like a great setting for a cabin. Do you notice any noise and/or vibration from the heat pump? Mine seems quite noisy and I feel quite a bit of vibration through the steering wheel when stationary even at our higher UK temperatures. So far -1 is the lowest I've driven it at. It sometimes feels just like there is a ICE idling in the front!

[@Vegard-Driving-Somewhere]

Thanks Paul 😊 I think I`ve experienced what you describe once, but most of the time I don `t notice the heat pump. I`m not sure if that noise was from the heat pump either, as the old car without heat pump sometimes made loud noises too. There is a fan that sometimes goes off sounding like a helicopter about to lift off 😅

[@BrazierPaul]

@@Vegard-Driving-Somewhere Thanks, that's very helpful. I had nothing to compare it to.

[@lhlfrb]

Very informative video. I’m curious about the glass roof in the cold: Do you feel a lot of cold coming from the roof, or is that not a problem?

[@Vegard-Driving-Somewhere]

Thanks 😊 I've never felt any cold from the roof, not even in -20 degrees celcius. 👍 not sure how much energy it takes to heat up a car with glass roof versus non glass, but many EVs have this kind of roof these days, so probably not a big difference.

[@ynse4568]

Have you tested A better route planer with Polestar 2? Think its maybe a bit optimistic about charging?

[@Vegard-Driving-Somewhere]

I've used it in the car a little bit, but I'm not a big fan of the user interface of arpb in the car. It doesn't run very smooth and feels quite unresponsive and buggy. I definitely prefer google maps. Unfortunately google maps doesn't support way points so not very good for planning trips. For longer trips I use the browser based aprb on my computer to plan the trip and google maps in the car.

[@luisgomez-zc5gc]

Do you keep your car outside? Im trying to figure out how to keep the battery alive in the winter or should i not worry if not connected to a charger?

[@Vegard-Driving-Somewhere]

I mostly park in an unheated garage. When we go to our mountain cabin I park outside. Never been an issue, not even in -25 celcius. I guess as long as you don't leave it for longer period of time with very low SoC in very cold temperatures you won't have any issues. A cold battery will charge slower than an optimally heated battery. We have also have an 2018 Nissan Leaf which is parked outside all year, never had an issue.

[@luisgomez-zc5gc]

@@Vegard-Driving-Somewhere Thank you so much. I'm new to the whole EV and would like to make the p2 my first EV

[@leluyaa]

Takk Vegard, lärer masser av deg! Hytta ser bra ut og drone shots'a var 🤩 Hvor mye % hadde du på batteriet da du kom hjem?

[@Vegard-Driving-Somewhere]

Takk 😊 Jeg startet hjemmefra med 88% og kom tilbake hjem med 9%. Det ble mye unødvendig energibruk i form av at det ble litt inn og ut av bilen, mange stopp, samt at jeg satte hurtigladeren som destinasjon og derfor sannsynligvis brukte litt ekstra på oppvarming av batteriet. Så brukte ca 79% på rundt 238 km, ikke så gærnt :)

[@leluyaa]

@@Vegard-Driving-Somewhere Hey, takk for svar. beklager, så ikke svaret för nå. Beste önsker og godt nytt år når den tid kommer!

[@Vegard-Driving-Somewhere]

@@leluyaa Godt nyttår til dere også 😊

[@benjaminwhistance4516]

Does the polestar have different modes such as ‘off road’ or ‘mud/snow’

[@Vegard-Driving-Somewhere]

There is only "sport mode" which reduce the effect of the ESC. From the manual: "The stability system (ESC) is always activated - it cannot be switched off. However, the driver can select ECS Sport mode, which allows for a more active driving experience. With Sport mode selected, interventions from the system are reduced and the car is allowed to skid more and greater control than normal is thus transferred to the driver. When Sport mode is selected, the function can be considered as deactivated, despite the function continuing to help the driver in many cases. Sport mode also provides more traction even if the car has become bogged down or is driving on a loose surface, such as in sand or deep snow."

[@LauriLaipio]

What do you think about the suspension of the Performance version? Is it much harder ride with 20" wheels compared to the non performance?

[@Vegard-Driving-Somewhere]

Mine is currently at the default 8/8 setting and it is a bit harder. I don`t find it uncomfortable compared to the non performance. What I like about the new one is less body roll and a more sporty "feeling". I am going to play a bit with the settings and try out the comfort setting which is 18/20, but I`ll do that after winter :)

[@stiania]

Nice video Vegard - cheers from fellow PS2 owner from the other side of the valley (Hogevarde). Would be cool to do a consumption test as mine has Eibach lowering springs so a tad lower than yours... :-)

[@Vegard-Driving-Somewhere]

Thanks Stian! That would be really cool! Maybe we should meet up some time and to a test :)

[@stiania]

Sure. Seeing you also have Tinde Cabin and all… 😉 don’t worry - the last stage of the building phase is quick so you’ll enjoy Xmas in the mountains 👌❄️

[@Vegard-Driving-Somewhere]

Fingers crossed! Cabin handover was supposed to be today, but postponed until 22.dec..

[@Optionspike]

How do you like your Polestar so far? I do not own one but I am investing in their stock and would love your thoughts. Thanks for the vjdeo

[@Vegard-Driving-Somewhere]

Hi, I really enjoy my Polestar! It's a great car and it keeps getting better in every software update 👍 I got my first Polestar 2 in August 2020 and after we wrecked it in an accident in July 2021 there was no doubt about replacing it with a new Polestar 2 😊👍 The P2 is a great EV even though it wasn't built from ground up as a pure EV. The car was originally designed as a concept ICE car by Volvo. I really think the P3, P4 and P5 will be amazing EVs being built from ground up as pure EVs. Investing in Polestar sounds like a no brainer to me 🔥💪

[@Optionspike]

@@Vegard-Driving-Somewhere Thanks for the feedback. What made you consider Polestar over Tesla? I see Tesla outperforms Polestar in price and alot of categories (for now)

[@tommimakitalo3675]

How does this Polestar compare to the previous one regarding consumption? What is your guess, if the heatpump makes a difference? Maybe the bigger tires eats the advantage up. Btw nice, that you stayed at Polestar after your accident. I would also stay on that car if I would loose mine. But I would stay on non PP.

[@Vegard-Driving-Somewhere]

Hard to meassure, but it feels like as you say the 20" wheels eats up the advantage, so consumption is about the same. I was considering trying something else, but when looking at the other cars available and considering how happy we where with the Polestar, there was no reason not staying 👍

[@pathibault]

Hi, Do you have the heat pump in your Polestar? Thanks

[@Vegard-Driving-Somewhere]

Hi! Yes I do have the heat pump. I had the MY21 without heat pump first, but after we had an accident the car was replaced with a MY22 with heat pump. It is difficult to meassure, but I think it has a slight advantage range wise during longer trips in cold climate. The heat pump does sometimes make more noise than the car without heat pump, but that is only noticable when the car is parked and is nothing that bothers me.

[@HolthCustom]

Hei! Skal hente min om en ukes tid! Gleder meg greit! Men 19" vs 20" vinterhjul… hadde du 19" på forrige bilen? og 20" på denne? Stor forskjell?

[@Vegard-Driving-Somewhere]

Jeg har 2 videoer på kanalen her fra høsten 2020, da testet jeg forbruk på samme distanse med 20" sommerdekk og 19" vinterdekk. Jeg mener 20" brukte ca 1kWh/100km mer enn 19". Nye bilen har varmepumpe, så den bruker kanskje litt mindre strøm på vinteren. I praksis merker jeg ikke særlig forskjell på den gamle med 19" og nye med 20". Gratulerer med godt valg av bil! Bare å glede seg 👍👍😊

[@HolthCustom]

@@Vegard-Driving-Somewhere Tusen takk! Bor i Sande og har hytte på Flå så vi sees😂👍🏻

[@Vegard-Driving-Somewhere]

@@HolthCustom Så morsomt 😅 På turufjell?

[@HolthCustom]

@@Vegard-Driving-Somewhere Det heter Viki(Gulsvik), i nordenden av Krødern. Rett på andre siden av vannet for Cirkle K. Så vi kommer til å kjøre etter hverandre 🙂

[@Vegard-Driving-Somewhere]

@@HolthCustom ah, fint ved vannet da 😊 vet du om det er ok fiske i Krøderen? Snart kjører vi P2 kolonne opp dalen 😅

[@BabyKermit_]

Hei! Er det mulig å ha takboks når du har glasstak?

[@Vegard-Driving-Somewhere]

Hei, ja det er ingen problem. Polestar selger takstativ tilpasset bilen, og jeg mener Thule også har flere modeller som passer.

[@ThePresley1989]

Går det ann å bruke mobilen til å varme bilen når du er hjemme?

[@Vegard-Driving-Somewhere]

Det gjør det. Man kan skru på varmen eller man kan sette tidspunkt for når man ønsker varm bil, fra appen.

[@nicholasfoster6255]

Please please STOP SNIFFING.

[@Vegard-Driving-Somewhere]

😅 Sorry, not easy when you have a cold..
