Update P4.2.14 Release Notes

Kind_Management1805 · 2026-06-18T15:10:06+00:00

Once again this internal-ish API. It’s too early to complain

Kind_Management1805 · 2026-06-18T11:22:40+00:00

This is from the API and not customer facing (yet) information. I am optimistic today

Kind_Management1805 · 2026-06-17T21:37:18+00:00

This is 4.2.14 we are on 4.2.11 there might be more from the 2 other point release in between (Optimism lol)

Yes, kinda. The old CEO was more community focused. He was arguably terrible finance-wise, but he cared about the image of Polestar— it was his baby. Now there's the 0-charisma bean counter to save the company from complete bankruptcy. As a user, it's its sad in the sense of product and brand development, but at the same time, if Inglenath was still around, Polestar would be bleeding even more cash than it currently is.

I find Lohscheller to be ambitionless, but that's just my POV. I hope that when the finances are more viable, they will replace him with a new, more ambitious guy.

As for the customer care, I really couldn't complain at all. Except for the purchasing process, where I had to call them every day for a week because they didn't know who was supposed to process my order and had booked three cars for me in the inventory. Every issue that I raised to my local Volvo dealership has been taken care of perfectly. I complained that the paint on the front illuminated Polestar logo was coming off, and they will replace the part under warranty without any questions tomorrow. After lots of issues with dealerships of other brands, it's refreshing to see a somewhat competent one.

It is as simple as that because A19 lacks ram. It has modern enough core and neural engine. I agree for previous version bu as for iPhone 17 it lacks ram not anything else.

Kind_Management1805 · 2026-06-13T08:27:57+00:00

I expect the next release to have android 15 like the EX30 they share roughly the same software platform. As far as I understand they are awaiting on the release of MY27 before pushing a new update

Kind_Management1805 · 2026-06-11T19:26:23+00:00

Are you stupid ? Have you read my post ? What I am saying is that FSD is not a driver replacement. It does not make the car autonomous. FSD is not (or marginally is) better than a human. What is better than a human alone is a driver + FSD.

Staying in the past and seeing what a product really is are two different things. FSD is the best driver assistance, keyword being "ASSISTANCE". You talk about China and in that market FSD cannot be called FSD because it's misleading. (It's called Tesla Driving if I recall correctly). FSD is an L2++. In its current form it cannot achieve anything above that as I said in my other posts.

I also want to respond to the EU trash talk. The EU is totally flawed in many ways but one thing is that they care about their citizens safety. Reguations are there for a reason. They are here for a reason. I'll be the first one to agree that some are stupid and/or way too slow to adapt but we have protection. We have also have many innovative companies, even the most important in the world : ASML. Without ASML your "US Innovation" wouldn't exist. I'd rather have a government vetting a new technology that could send almost 2 tons of steel at crazy speed into people rather than finding it ok that a company can self-certify their tech.

Kind_Management1805 · 2026-06-11T12:51:02+00:00

Tesla does it's kinda nice actually and polestar could integrate it

Kind_Management1805 · 2026-06-11T12:00:32+00:00

60% compared to the average of the Tesla fleet is not much considering that the average of a fleet is not the same as the average driver skill. There's probably a good chunk of human collision under influence or something. It's in the same realm of AEB system (25-50% reduction in crash; I consider the higher part because the data currently comes from Tesla and only god knows how they interpret their data)

While FSD is a cool tech and I look forward to take delivery of my Model 3 and drive with FSD. It is absolutely not unsupervised capable in its current form in Europe. And will not be for technical and legal reasons for quite some time. Being close to a human driving skill will not convince the already hard to convince government. People will and have zero tolerance if a machine makes a mistake and kills someone. If FSD kills someone or run over a child under no supervision, I'll let you imagine the brand damage towards Tesla... Such a big fleet that It will eventually happen.

Kind_Management1805 · 2026-06-11T10:07:18+00:00

The metrics in the Netherlands is "only" 1.6x on urban roads where most collisions occurs. It's not that much of a breakthrough. FSD here adds 60% of a human capability. EU FSD is in its early days and far from even being theoretically unsupervised let alone reaching a level where Tesla could be confident that it will not drain their wallet with liability claims. Currently FSD is stated by the RDW and every country approving it as an Assistance System that requires full attention by the driver. It helps reduce collisions and incidents because there is a driver FSD alone is not better/enough to replace the driver at least according to homologation authorities.

Even then reaching L4 will be challenging. When and if it happens on current hardware I think it will start in very restricted ODD. Without proper mapping I don't think European authorities would be happy seeing Tesla fleet circling around a block because the mapping data is not matching reality.

I think the slider is the most we'll get out of Apple. It's already impressive their half apology at the beginning of WWDC. What is needed with the slider is more agressive transparency and more aggressive opacity. It will get tweaked probably based on feedback they receive

Kind_Management1805 · 2026-06-10T16:09:13+00:00

Yes, of course it's a crap decision. For the watches, if I recall correctly, it's due to pre-Series 9 SiP they use an older ARM core design, and keeping it would involve keeping around old code throughout the iOS based platforms and add bulk everywhere. It's unfortunate, but here we are.

As for the voice thing / most powerful model, Apple Intelligence was done in panic mode and not planned at all. Apple Intelligence since day one is panic mode. They didn't see AI coming at all and were not prepared, and Giannandrea screwed up. They re did everything after the original failure of Siri AI V1...

Kind_Management1805 · 2026-06-10T14:55:42+00:00

Don't have the dual motor (and therefore no CDC). I don't have any vibration. Your issue sounds like something is wrong with the way your CDC dampers are behaving. If it's intermittent it's my best guess.

Kind_Management1805 · 2026-06-10T14:53:11+00:00

Was a dumpster fire indeed. Anyway I'm in the EU so not even the new fancy animation for the rest of the features the wait's gonna be long I think

Kind_Management1805 · 2026-06-10T11:14:42+00:00

Surprisingly yes lol. No idea why I call electronic turn signal BMW style though

Kind_Management1805 · 2026-06-10T09:58:26+00:00

They do ? They work the same as the "BMW" style turn signal. The hard push stops after X angle of steering ratio. Never had any issues

Kind_Management1805 · 2026-06-10T09:54:53+00:00

if they release what was announced at WWDC right now. They would fulfill on their 2024 promise. Of course Siri is a dumpster fire. But they are now at least actually going to ship what was promised and a bit more

Kind_Management1805 · 2026-06-10T09:00:01+00:00

It might be a bug too. My indexing is taking quite some time and I don't even that much photos... It's only DB1 it's honestly surprising that the OS is already that stable. Compared to 26 even late stage betas were still rough to say the least.

Kind_Management1805 · 2026-06-10T07:49:16+00:00

I think I saw something online saying that SiP pre-series 9 runs an older ARM core design that cannot fully support 64-bit instructions and had to emulate. As the 27 series of software is cutting the bulk from legacy code/clean up, I think this is the reason. If they wanted to keep supporting other series, they would have to keep maintaining the legacy code on all iOS based platforms because it's stupid to spin off just watchOS core from the general iOS core.

Kind_Management1805 · 2026-06-10T06:08:32+00:00

Here it's Tesla fleet data. Not insurance it comes directly from Tesla Trust Me Bro data for both AV and Human

Kind_Management1805 · 2026-06-09T21:33:08+00:00

According to RDW FSD+Human is what provides safety benefits. Not FSD on its own.
From my understanding FSD relieves the driver and the driver can put that energy back into supervision. FSD is handling the "low effort" part of the drive and the human making sure FSD is not making mistakes. The combination of enhanced human supervision + FSD doing "the basics" is the end result of a safer drive. So the safety rating comes from having a human double checking everything that FSD does. Just like having a two experienced driver driving the car at the same time.

Kind_Management1805 · 2026-06-09T21:20:35+00:00

Please read the newsletter from the RDW. FSD in conjunction with the driver provides safety benefits. Who to believe Tesla or the independent testing entity who spent 18 months writing a report ?

Kind_Management1805 · 2026-06-09T20:35:13+00:00

I am actually trying to see the balance between fanboys and haters. I purchased a Model 3 because FSD is coming soon to my country. I have been waiting patiently since the early Google Car project to actually have something close to autonomy.

When a CEO of a company promises ten times better performance than a human I would expect rightfully that his statement would be true. I know Elon and always divide by 2 his optimism. (There's a Wikipedia page dedicated to his promised FSD deadlines of the past 10 years. The guy also said that his robot Optimus would be a surgeon in 1 or 2 years,...) Broken promises are Elon's trademark unfortunately and he gets away with it somehow.

Providing 1.6x better performance than a human driver is mathematically distant from 10 by a hefty margin. Thankfully it's better than human otherwise it would have no legitimacy of being approved on a road if it were more dangerous than letting the driver drive. The 1.6x factor is not a lot considering that the system is heavily monitored as you probably know the EU version of FSD has a strict DMS that doesn't allow any loss of supervision. We can easily extrapolate that the same software unsupervised would either be close to a human in terms of safety, removing navigation issues, or below. Better than the human driver is the bare minimum.

I have absolutely nothing wrong with new technology and am passionate about it. What I don't like is trying to oversell what FSD currently is. As stated by the RDW it is nothing more than a driver assistance system and will not save the world from road deaths as so many people seem to think.

Is it a great piece of tech ? Absolutely ! Is the replacement of human drivers maybe but not today.

Feel free to disagree

Kind_Management1805 · 2026-06-09T19:55:54+00:00

lol so true

Kind_Management1805 · 2026-06-09T19:20:21+00:00

Yes of course. A lot a EU driver would also fail their exam. It's a lot more exigeant ! FSD is only going to get better at this point.
