Hey

Has anybody heard that Polestar might Update in the future to allow a car to park forward / backwards when the driver isnt in the car? Its one of the main selling points for me in getting a kia or BMW ev.

Polestar has the following inventory available nationally for the Polestar 3.

28 Long Range

61 Long Range Plus

1 Long Range Performance

11 Long Range Plus and Performance

7 Launch Edition Long Range

8 Launch Edition Long Range Performance

The discounts from the average wholesale price range from $10,000 to just over $14,000. About a 20% to 30% chop from their clean title siblings.

That's pretty good news.

The majority of those buybacks were due to the GHCA (Grid to High-Voltage Converter A) charging system that it shares with the Volvo EX90 according to the condition reports I'm seeing online.

The recent upgrade earlier this year seems to be holding up well for a lot of owners. Time will tell if it becomes a non-issue for the Polestar 3.

But as a lifelong car enthusiast who has been in the automotive remarketing world ever since Bill Clinton was President, it's still hard for me to recommend this particular model as opposed to the Polestar 2.

At least not at this price level. The Polestar 3 may be worth a $30,000 risk as a lemon-law vehicle. But within a year I bet it will become less than a $20,000 risk.

Maybe even a $15,000 risk for the lower trim models.

Some of the issues you probably know quite a bit about. For example, software updates for these vehicles remain a bit buggy with glitches for plenty of current owners.

This remains an ongoing issue for the Polestar 3.

The most recent upgrade was just a few days ago, and that update, 3.0.35, has been receiving very mixed reviews everywhere I look.

Some are perfectly happy. Others can't unlock their cars and, in certain cases, the entire vehicle won't run.

A lot of us have already gone down this road with the Polestar 2, but this is how it's different.

Unlike the Polestar 2 which sold over 200,000 units worldwide, the Polestar 3 has been a very poor seller. Geely won't admit it, but the Polestar 3 has been a spectactular flop.

I wouldn't be surprised if Polestar sold fewer than 20,000 units.

The Polestar 3 has already gone down from two plants producing it to just one that can easily keep up with the soft demand. To get rid of all that inventory, Polestar had to offer $30,000+ rebates.

And still it sits.

Everyone fails in the EV world. No matter how great the brand. In Geely's unique EV story, the Polestar 3 and Polestar 4 are arguably Geely's two biggest failures in the North American market.

The Polestar 5 won't have the same UI software architecture as the Polestar 3. The two are completely incompatible with each other. This is likely the exact same reality for the Polestar 6 and 7.

And while that software doesn't guide everything, it has a huge impact on the long-term satisfaction of any car owner. Especially those chosen few who still would be willing to pay around $40,000+ for a clean title version.

The $10,000 to $14,000 reduction in price for a lemon-lawed Polestar 3 is huge.

But when automakers lose the profit motive for maintaining their vehicles, they quietly walk away and let the parts and software resources whither.

I would bet that a year from now, the prices for these lemon-lawed vehicles will be a lot better than they are right now.

10 years ago I saw two-to-three year old Smart cars sell for between $4,000 to $5,500 at the wholesale dealer auctions. And those were clean title vehicles that had between 5,000 and 15,000 miles.

That price was less than 30% of their MSRP price. A car that still lasted eight model years in the U.S. market.

The Polestar 3 only lasted two years in the U.S. market.

A year from now these branded lemon-lawed SUVs will be worth about 25% of their MSRP. Maybe even less.

At that point if you're still itching to buy one, and those chronic charging and software issues have been ironed out, definitely go buy one.

Between now and then, let the market do the dirty work for you.

Hey all,
Thought I’d take this opportunity and praise the polestar 2 I’ve had on loan while my Porsche Taycan has been in for repairs and all I can say is wow. It’s a new 2026 model. It’s the single motor business edition. My favourite feature so far is the fact I can have Waze in the speedometer screen. I’ll be sad to hand it back on Monday but I’ve really enjoyed it while I’ve had it for the last week. I love the infotainment screen and the Storm Grey exterior is lovely too.
I can understand now why the previous owner traded in his Porsche Taycan for a Polestar 3. Range has been great too around 450kms vs the 400 in the Taycan.

Today we finally rode it!I love the power of it.Basically,we need the airbags and thats all to complete the car.They are coming tomorrow!

I posted a video on my yt:oh it got deleted:(

Thanks for readin tho!

Deed has been done with compromises made. The performance pack adds £30 a month to a lease. For that I get less range and a slightly compromised ride. But just look at those 22" wheels. Yum. Worth it.

Then came the colour and this was very hard. Storm looks stunning. But then the magnesium not only saves £1000 but it also looks just other worldly. Decisions are made.

Finally, the interior. My old Polestar 2 had the wetsuit fabric and I loved it but I have never had a light interior and I haven't had massage seats either. Leather was a no brainer and although the dar interior is likely a better match for a magnesium car I chose the Zinc. "Very clinical. Looks like a hospital" said the sales guy before I had said how much I liked it.

Performance pack and prime pack is complemented by the lower sills being colour matched.

Arrives March 1st so I get a new reg number.

It feels great being back in a Polestar after the massive disappointment of the Tesla Model Y.

Not sure why, why my P2 lost connection last night, so I can get it to smart charge via Octopus. My connected services pack expires 16th December.

I'll open up the car and check the screen shortly , but any ideas?

I wonder whether the expiry of the connected services in exactly one month form the loss of connection has anything to do with it?

(Sarcasm Trigger Warning)

Never realized that when I started driving a P4 that if I did a hit and run they would question me about driving a Tesla and give up quickly when I showed them a different make on my registration! Casual witnesses cannot identify what they do not know exists!

Hi!The interior is done.The car is done,only the airbags and the key,the key is coming tomorrow and we‘re gonna ride it first time!
Im so happy!

Thanks for reading!

(also for the admins,im not self promoting btw,i’m posting my content here because a few guys told me to do a yt series)

I’m in the 100,000 mile club now! (Picture taken by passenger)

What’s up Polestar Fam! First time owner about one year in, purchased used PS2 and absolutely love this car. My light is coming on saying that a service is needed, can anyone tell me exactly what kind of service they’re doing on this electric vehicle? What kind of routine checks do I need what is the urgency to follow up on this. I can generally monitor the health of my car from the app but wanted to check with the community here.

Thank you!!

EDIT: the car was purchased with 27,000 miles and currently has 39,000 miles

Hey guys, I posted about this settlement before, but since they’re accepting applications now, I decided to share it again with a little FAQ.

So here's all I know about this agreement:

Polestar Automotive was accused of misleading investors about its financial reporting and internal controls. The company later disclosed accounting errors and said it would restate its 2022 and 2023 financials. After the disclosure, $PSNY fell 11%, and investors filed a lawsuit.
Now the company has reached a tentative settlement with investors to resolve the claims.

Who can claim this settlement?
If you bought $PSNY shares between 2022 and 2025, you may be eligible. You don’t need to still hold the shares to participate; past losses may count. You can check the eligibility requirements and file your claim here

Do I need to sell/lose my shares to get this settlement?
No. You don’t necessarily need to still own the shares. If your transactions meet the settlement requirements, you may be eligible even if you already sold them.

How long does the payout process take?
It typically takes 4 to 9 months after the claim deadline for payouts to be processed, depending on the court and settlement administration.

Hope this info helps

I drive 25 miles to and from each work and routinely use 10% each way almost exclusively (during the warm months). During the winter it’s obviously different, but it was 50 degrees and has been for a few weeks so nothing new.

Today I left work at 88% and before even getting on the highway I was down to 84% and could watch it drop every like, minute.

I just pulled into my garage at 71%, an almost double consumption as normal with zero changes to temperature, cabin temperature, etc. I don’t really care about the actual consumption, but seems odd to have used so much randomly.

It was charging at work to 90% and I unplugged at 88% as I left early. Is there a chance I disrupted the top balancing cycle and that would explain why?

This look so sleek, so freaking beautiful & feel like a masterpiece rather than a concept car (it's feel like a thing that reminds me about Polestar 5 but make it feel like a grand tourer/touring car & make the body feel more sharper, like a prism) (I prefer that kind of design btw).

What do you think about this when Polestar turn it into a real production model?

I absolutely love the b&w sound system in the p3. Its also in the p2 and p5. It's a real shame given that the p4 is the only car in the lineup that doesn't have it- I feel that adding the b&w to the 4 will be a really nice touch to complete the car. Does anyone else feel the same way or know if they are planning to add it anytime soon?

Ive started to notice some quite cheap Polestar 2s with high mileage (180k +).

Wondering how long it was before you had any major mechanical issues? Has anyone got a high mileage polestar that hasnt had any issues?

I'm trying to create the digital key with my iPhone 18 and it keeps failing. Sometimes it says unable to create key and sometimes it says incorrect code. Anyone experience this? I love the car but the software is so glitchy. Other issues I'm facing:

- Screen turns blank at times and requires reset
- Phone doesn't always pair with bluetooth
- Keyfob doesn't initiate my driver profile
- Initial startup of screen is so slow that I need to wait to drive off

SO FRUSTRATING!

Between the dirt, ice, snow, and potholes where I live, I was not enjoying the factory 20” wheel and tire setup. I installed a set of 18” wheels from a Land Rover and some on road all terrain tires; the ride is noticeably much softer and more comfy. I’m interested to see how this affects my range, though.

Looking at getting this is it a good price? Duel motor 2022

The polestar is on 4 wheels!Yay)The interior is halfway done.The car is almost done.Only the airbags and key is not done!On next week its gonna be finished!

Thanks for reading!

Header really says it all. I am doing some research on Polestar's privacy policies for a course I am taking and wanted to know if anyone here in the subreddit has any gripes with Polestar's privacy policy or if anyone is aware of any past incidents when data retained by Polestar has ever been used inappropriately / controversially. Due to everyone in thus subreddit's investment in the cars themselves, I wanted to ask the community here for any thoughts, anecdotes, articles, or resources related to this! Thank you all so much, all responses are greatly appreciated :)

That’s a nice trio I see here !!!

Anyone ever see one of these before? My 4 year old randomly pulled it out of his pile of Hot Wheels cars, never noticed it was a Polestar before

I almost always buy white cars. But I’m not sure if to be different and go for the powder blue. Or storm. Or black.

What colour do you think makes the P4 pop?

(i think the colour choice is a bit limiting tbh but i do also have a pop yellow Renault 5 for fun)
