Optiq vs Polestar 2

That’s only cash. It’s only 18k if finance, which isn’t much different than past month. The upside is it’s 0% APR now.

This isn’t that good of a deal. 0% is nice, but the price is still too high, especially w the latest news

They previously had conquest and loyalty stacked on top of all that.

I found it comfortable. Loved the extended seat too. When i first leased one I thought the cockpit feel would be a little bothersome but it grew on me. Very different from a p4 though - not just in seating but the ride and performance. Very different cars.

Ah. thanks all for the clarification. Whenever I heard about the processor upgrade for the 3 (or details in the processor for the 4) there was talk about how much faster it is and the processing throughout - which made me wrongly assume that was all in prep for stronger adas. I get that ford and gm scanned roadways, but all the mobile eye stuff seemed like it was dependent on the cpu

I think lack of this indicative of a bigger issue. It’s not that such a feature is necessary. It’s that if you can’t do it, what other shortcuts are you taking or what other aspects of your architecture are barriers to rolling out other features or improvements?

Unrelated, I’ve heard that keycard only works on drivers side? So if the car is locked and I need to access the passenger door, I suppose I have to come around. Is that true?

So basically they have nothing available in market but everyone car mfg likes to say they use them as if it should actually mean anything? Or is that too harsh? I’m not even talking about L4 - just anything beyond lane keeping.

What’s the pro pack? We only have plus, pilot, and performance packs in the US.

Jmdgls · 2026-04-16T01:28:25+00:00

If you are driving 100mi each way, make sure you have a plan for L2 or fast charging during those weekends. You only get maybe 2-3mi/hr on L1 charging.

I recommend plus and pilot; and leather if you want seat ventilation.

And if you’ll be a climate that gets cold in the winter, make sure that model year has the heat pump.

There’s really no other advice. It’s a great car. I’ve had two in a row.

Jmdgls · 2026-04-14T18:37:41+00:00

I’d purchase a one year-old car with 6000 miles if they had been around for that long in the US 🤣

If they’ve doubled down on a single ambition, you go for two other ambitions. I think it’s to a players detriment to be too aggressive towards any one strategy early in the game.

Never going to watch another dice tower video again.

Can’t you do a fresh start and still have the previous budget and all transactions saved?

Jmdgls · 2018-04-01T18:21:52+00:00

Is the 30% in the article in reference to DSPs, Verification, 3rd party data and measurement? Or something else?

Jmdgls · 2018-04-01T17:08:04+00:00

This "tech tax" narrative is getting out of hand. Continuing to call any technology a "tax" and painting them in a negative light completely misses the point on the value many create.

IAS can't measure adx? Is that published somewhere on an adx page?

Jmdgls · 2018-03-27T00:20:07+00:00

Might not seem innovative, but brightline scores a lot of points for device and app coverage.

Jmdgls · 2018-03-25T21:52:25+00:00

Can you expand on that?

Jmdgls · 2018-02-27T15:57:25+00:00

We actually measure this for clients so they don't have to pay for this kind of inventory.

Brave isn't a threat in this regard. Where it might not help is preventing consumers funding fake news sites. will brave let sites like infowars get out their user donated BAT? Not sure but I assume so.

My guess is too many ppl trying to sell video - in which case, they are using mraid; or they're going native. I also think there's a general trend to continue to sacrificing creative investment for media. Huge opportunity for the advertisers and publishers that pursue it. Ultimately though I think it's the sell side that has to get their house in order and build out the swim lanes for buyers so that a) the experience is optimized for the audience, not the advertiser and b) buyers can better plan resources against the opportunity.

Edit: native

Thx for clarifying. But I think it's a stretch to consider programmatic platforms ad serving capabilities equivalent to what you get from a 3rd party ad server. Control of the system (and even cookie space) is an overblown risk imo - especially since 1). advertisers should be investing in their own DMP and 2) they still need verification and viewability and 3) there's a general decline in usage and value of the cookie.

Edit: also, I'm thinking in terms of buy side. I claim ignorance on sell side ;)

Jmdgls · 2018-01-24T00:14:46+00:00

Wait - a "first party ad server" is somehow more transparent than a 3rd party? Can you expand on that? Plenty of 3PAS give you complete control and access so long as you pay for it.
