I have a 2021 ( plus , pilot ans nappa) . Personally i think Plus package is a must , i really dont like the basic seats( they re too short and not comfortable for long trip) , the panoramic roof make feel the interior much spacious, the basic sound are not great and for winter climate heating steering wheel should be always on . If somebody use it twice a week ,ok but for a daily driving it s worth to pay some extra money 😉

[@natemorin]

Love the EV content here but come on OTA update that poor car's software already! You're like 4 major updates behind!

[@MrGeekGamer]

My Zaptec Charger is garbage. At least, I have to assume it is. I can't reliably charge my EV from it, but the EV manufacturer blames the charger and Zaptec blames the manufacturer. The EV charges fine literally everywhere else though. Get your house in order, Zaptec.

[@MichelR67]

latest update is p2.1 so far behind with the updates on this Polestar

[@kaljis86]

Latest software version is 2.1

[@marcel3045]

I‘m driving a Polestar 2 from early 2021 on the latest software version P2.1. That‘s me driving it: 🤩 I can confirm that the consumption and range have improved quite a bit with the software updates.

[@Laurenguti]

What is the average consumption now?

[@marcel3045]

@@Laurenguti the average over the last two months was 16.8 kWh/100 km

Would be nice to see you test the 69 kwh Polestar 2 :)

[@KrisRifa]

Yes! I will do this in the future :)

[@Carloes]

Only thing you perhaps have 'missed' is that the price recently went up (at least here in the Netherlands) by 2000 euros, for at least the long range version.

[@知-k3q]

Because lithium batteries have gone up in price.🥹Chinese manufacturers have to raise the price of batteries in the world.

Thank you for your comments on the Heat Pump Kris. There are a lot of motor journalists out there who by default says that a EV without a heat pump is useless, and because of that you need to get the +pack. I am not sure they are 100% aware what they are talking about. I decided not to get the heat pump because i rarely drive long trips, and I am super happy with the choise. Have you by the way made a comparison test video on two identical Polestar 2 with/without heat pump?

[@chidorirasenganz]

I would definitely say get the heat pump as you will get more consistent range in hot and cold temps

[@SS-yw7vo]

How does the heat pump increase range in hot temperatures?

[@chidorirasenganz]

@@SS-yw7vo It’s more efficient than standard cooling just like it is for heating. It doesn’t create anything only transfers heat inside or outside the car which requires way less energy.

Do you still prefore the p8 over p2 Dual motor?

[@KrisRifa]

Different segments, so cannot directly compare them 😊

[@jonaskristensen3066]

@@KrisRifa I understand, interior quality and user interface, is very important to me, which would you say is the better car? Is it correct undestood if the boot i the p2 is bigger than the p8? Thanks for a great Channel, keep up the good videos you produce.

[@dylconnaway9976]

You forgot to add what else the 22’ models included- endless waiting, 0 communication, and conflicting customer service answers! 🙂

[@jasonleon1976]

You hit the nail on the head. My experience from the moment I ordered the car to now has been unsatisfactory and I havent even had the car delivered yet. Shocking customer service. My original order was cancelled due to the new packs being released. Communication was poor to say the least. I will be ordering a tesla for my next EV and I haven't even driven the Polestar yet🤷‍♂️

[@homomorphic]

So you're saying that polestar beat musk to mars?

[@snabbis]

@@homomorphic not really but i think you understood what i ment:)

[@nielsen6725]

Dealbreaker for me with Polestar 2 is the cramped space. Backseat is almost useless for adults, and frontseat especially cramped in width due to console. In others areas, it is a really great car (materials, UI, design), so it's a shame with the lack of space.

[@siasek]

Then I must have been in a different car. You just have to be an average European and there's plenty of room. The big advantage of the Polestar is just that it's not unnecessarily big.

[@nielsen6725]

@@siasek nope, wasn't in a different car... Space in Polestar 2 really was cramped. Compared to several other EVs I've tried, Polestar 2 gets last place when it comes to space. But very good in other aspects.

[@siasek]

I've ridden in the Polestar 2 and thoroughly explored it and I don't know what I need more room for. I really liked the centre tunnel, because you can rest your hand on it while driving, for example when selecting music, it's perfectly thought out.

[@mjh3863]

Drove my son (6’2”) in the front with one of his mates (6’9”) in the back - neither of them complained about lack of space 😀
