Polestar 4 LR DM range test part 2

[@timoliver8940]

A halo around the sun is caused by refraction through ice crystals very high up in the atmosphere

[@nbvolks]

Your experience with the sound system is shared with most. The lack of deeper/fuller bass is one thing that really stuck out to me and my wife. It was as if the subwoofer in the trunk was not really producing much bass, and there's no way to adjust that, like in the Polestar 2 and 3. We had an order for a Polestar 4, but cancelled it, and ordered a Polestar 3 instead. On that note, when will you review the Polestar 3?!!

[@TimStruijs]

You are switching cars because of the lack of bass adjustment? Wow!

12:38 clever how the sun reflection is a polestar logo

Such a beautiful car, but those controls on the steering wheel 🤢

They feel as bad as they look

[@M-hq9xz]

I like the design, but couldn't justify to get the same range as ID.7 with a much bigger battery. It's really funny😅

[@Kurre.]

Twice the horsepower, larger tires and worse aero… It would be a miracle if it had more range

[@KoalaBandit223]

@@Kurre. Does 30% more battery capacity count as a miracle?

[@energitrimmeren]

No 🇳🇴 using the right lanes is a really bad habit, that they take with them to 🇩🇰and the rest of 🇪🇺resulting in many risky situations. Please teach them to drive in the right lanes when possible. And thanks for another interesting VLOG.

[@RupOase]

Nice video, nice car, crappy or laggy infotainment. Just like VW in the early EV days. The Polestar 4 showcases why Chinese cars have such a bad infotainment. It seems that this time, Volvo rushed it, just like VW did with the ID.3

Being booked in in droves at work. Getting sick of the sight of them lol.

[@guidomescalito]

this car is giving me a lot of EX30 vibes, in a bad way. Shitty steering wheel buttons, buggy software, wierd slow-then-fast charging. Glad I didn't pre-order.

[@PierreSimonsson]

so Zeeker and Polstar seems to have the same Sofware problem.

[@martinhavardstun-voncube7810]

considering your complains about the consumption of the kia ev9 with 7 seats an much more space an practicability. THIS is UNREAL like you said in the KIa video.

[@MyBjornE]

ID 7 is gone because I'm 2 m and when I adjust the seat so I'm sitting well, then I touch the steering wheel with my fingers, not the first VW I've sat in that way

[@godofdun]

Some people have issues with the eyes refocusing on camera mirrors and some don't. Maybe your eyes have gotten old and tired Bjorn 😜

[@davidz1264]

Looking forward for the test of the new Model 3 LR RWD with 702km WLTP 🤓

[@JohnDoe-de3km]

Yes.

[@dkaaweiss]

You shouldn’t trust what the onboard computer is telling about consumption. You wouldn’t do it with a fossil car! For the consumer counts what has to be recharged for a given distance (incl. charging losses) Likewise is important the charging time for a given distance - not x% to y% Let say: it takes 15min to recharge for 200km Very much like what you are doing and enjoy watching 👍

[@Felipegomez-4551]

Just because of the missing window in the back this is no option for me

[@tesla-spectre]

[@Kurre.]

It has tires with 10% more friction, 500hp and worse aero… Are you expecting it to beat the laws of physics?

[@tesla-spectre]

You can pull 2000 kg trailer with BE, do that with id7.... 😉

[@andih4324]

The interior mirror is not an innovation. The Honda E had this right from the start, as well as camera-based exterior mirrors. And they have been working perfectly here in my car for 4 years. However, the look and position is also better than it was on the ETron.

[@stgeorgee]

I was really looking forward to the PS4. However, the more I see about the PS4, the more I am convinced to stick with my PS2.

[@Kurre.]

Remember that the model is very important. A P4 on 21 inch fat tires and 500hp will use more energy than a Volkswagen with 19 inch skinny tires and half the horsepower. The LRSM polestar 2 goes 100km further than the LRDMP does…

[@sargfowler9603]

So the ID.7 goes as far as the Polestar4 with a battery 21kwh smaller! That's quite a difference in efficiency!

[@trinitonv8]

Other manage to drive 565km with this same spec.average 70kph here in Norway.70-80kph is typical average speed on a roadtrip here in Norway.

[@tesla-spectre]

What a thirsty car, goodness me 😂😂😂

[@quavohuncho6156]

It will be better soon. I bought my Polestar 2 when it launched in 2020. Terrible consumption because of new car and early software. After 4 years i have much better range and efficiency after nearly 120 000 km on the odometer. Thats because of all the updates they released making it better.

[@tesla-spectre]

@@quavohuncho6156 but should the new car not have already the best software? Because 180Wh/km at 90kmh is pretty terrible.

[@quavohuncho6156]

@@tesla-spectre 18kwh/100 at 90 is still good in my opinion for this big heavy car with 21 inch tires and AWD. My problematic Tesla model 3 with 18 inch tires i had averaged 12-13 KwH/100 km and that car was lightweight and built of cheap plastic. This Polestar 4 will probably get much better very soon with all the updates.

[@LoneWolf-wp9dn]

That sun phenomenon is called "sun dogs" at least in the anglo world

[@abebegirmay3327]

Didn't the Model 3 SR gave 540/550 km test range? If so it means almost the same as Polestar 4 LR but the price will be huge difference between them.

[@sargfowler9603]

They're completely different cars though.

[@quavohuncho6156]

Different cars. Tesla is a cheap toy, Polestar is luxury.

[@abebegirmay3327]

@@sargfowler9603 I know that and Polestar are in premium car category but why don't you compare the money you pay and what you get out of it. Offcourse it is personal on choosing car brands but here is a lot to consider and think when someone wants to buy electric car.

[@waynerm002]

I think the audio quality is being affected by the noise from outside the car. It seems these cars aren't well insulated from wind noise, a number of reviewers mentioned the road/wind noise when testing these vehicles.

[@quavohuncho6156]

It is well insulated. I drove the Polestar 4 with the 21 inch tires and got almost "sick" of it being too quite.

[@waynerm002]

@@quavohuncho6156 Interesting. At what speeds were you driving? A lot of the reviewers at the launch event mentioned the cars let in some road noise at higher speeds, I understand those were per-production vehicles but, in this video I could hear some noise being picked up by the mic.

You shouln‘t base it on EV Database, but on your own test instead

[@andreasjohansson7512]

ID7 is out because it doesn't support full one pedal driving. For me, that's a must.

[@cos_marc]

You know you can use cruise control when in traffic jam, right? There’s a good safety related reason why one pedal drive is not enabled on the id.7… because break discs might become rusty and your braking will be worse during an emergency situation. It could be solved through software though.

[@kenion2166]

@@cos_marc There is no difference in one pedal driving coming to stop or you slightly breaking yourself. An electric motor can't break to a full stop, one pedal driving is achieved by software automatic apply physical breaks to cover the last 5-10 km/h. The only reason why a company would not include one pedal option is skill issue. The software needs to be reliable in applying / releasing the break based on the input on the throttle. If that is not proper done you might get unexpected break behavior when coming to a stop. And we all know that VW has big issues with software :D

[@binflydushy]

Tesla one pedal drive is way too strong for me, which makes it a No-go

[@pieterverstraete5757]

@bjornnyland Indeed, that's what you call a 'halo', an optical phenomenon when the light interacts with ice crystals in the atmosphere. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halo_(optical_phenomenon). Thanks for the review, interesting times for EV land with this Polestar 4, Q6 and wondering if the A6 would top them

[@MR-vj8dn]

Interesting talk 👍🏻 It’s not so much that I don’t want this or that brand. I want a car that actually performs and delivers like it was derived from previous development and success (the best of ICE). In my experience, very few EVs deliver on that note today (2024).

I was really hoping for an improvement of the P2, but this seems to be a backward step in many ways.
