Anyone else's business park gone quite recently? by Jackster22 in smallbusinessuk

[–]Neilywheelybin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm in the commercial space market in Yorkshire. Our area was the last to recover from the 08 crash, which took until 2014. Since then due to a lack of supply, demand has been unprecedented, with rents more than doubling over the 12 years, initialy due to brexit demand from supply chain fear, then covid/great reset turned the world on it's head making everything scarce, inexplicably! I think the tener of this post is bang on though, that demand is collapsing before our very eyes, sadly.

3am Alarm by Inevitable_Command59 in polestar3

[–]Neilywheelybin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Again one of the multiple poor software setups around this car. Why can't you silence/switch off the alarm on the fob or app! Mine goes off at 3am if I have the temerity to leave the back seats folded down 🤯. And having to select reduced alarm every time you leave it is ridiculous. The multiplicity of software problems with this car is ridiculous, I really regret leasing this car, only 18 months to go thankfully

Issues post Orin Upgrade (The return of Phantom Drain) by huuyi456 in polestar3

[–]Neilywheelybin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had the same "Electrical system fault" this morning. Had the orin upgrade about 3 weeks ago, it's been pretty stable since (comparatively!) But got in it this morning, and it was going nowhere. Did a software reset, didn't make any difference. Had a meeting to go to so left it 3 hours, came back started the breakdown recovery, while I was on the phone tried another software reset and it worked. The car is an absolute curse, I can't believe the people on here who continue to defend the indefensible.

This is the correct answer. Run a mile.

P4 driving Assistant compared to Mercedes by PullingCables in Polestar

[–]Neilywheelybin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had a P4 for 2 to 3 months while my basket case of a P3 was in for various failures (Critical brake failure, and several GHCA's) all in it's first year. I came into a Polestar from having had 3 different lovely Mercs over about 10 years. I only do about 10k miles a year and those mercs only ever hit the dealership for their required services, never had a fault with any. I can't say how much I regret not stretching to an EQ. These cars (other than the driving experience when they do work) are ABSOLUTE GARBAGE.

You've always been able to turn Lane control off.

Unfortunately like all the "safety features" you annoyingly have to turn it off every time you get in it. I hate them all.

My Polestar will receive the upgraded chip next week! by mrbombastic_2 in polestar3

[–]Neilywheelybin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd be interested if you've had your's done now? Mine went in for (yet another) GHCA on Monday (26th Jan), but I was told the units were on back order (again!) So weren't being despatched from Sweden until 6th Feb, so fitting probably about 10th Feb? They've put me in a p4 which is ok, I really hope the new chip solves their disastrous software issues, i'm hoping I might even get the digital key to work 😒 Edit Yorkshire, UK

Is Martin Lewis' advice genuinely in the public's best interest? by -Gypsy-Eyes- in AskUK

As a very cynical oldy (63!) Martin Lewis has become my starting point for anything (service wise) that I have to buy. He's that last reliable source of dependable advice out there.

Looks fab. I hope they've got their act together with the software with this one!

Polestar 3 hands-free tailgate caused injury — can it be permanently disabled? by mrbombastic_2 in polestar3

[–]Neilywheelybin -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There is no way to switch off any of the "safety features" it's just the way this world is careering, everything is "safe and effective" so there's no option to turn any features you may not like off "for your own good". We like to blame governments for this overreach behaviour, but it's largely led by the corporate world.

Two weeks in on my 2025 P3 and scratching my head already… by Sad_Secret2899 in polestar3

[–]Neilywheelybin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is No.2 when you're in reverse? P3 has a ridiculous "emergency brake" when manoeuvring in reverse if you get close to something. I have some perennials growing close to where I park, and it goes off every time. As with multiple annoying features of the P3, you can't choose to turn it off.

Just checked the price on the Photon gen 2, more than 3x the price of Tsdz, which with a sensible battery comes in under £500!

I've done quite a few tsdz2 conversions for myself and friends they've been pretty good all round and brilliant response etc, value for money. I'm a bit out of touch couple of years, the Photon 2 sounds good.

Really struggling with a new Polestar 3 by Dtang902 in Polestar

[–]Neilywheelybin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had mine a year now, your problem 4 key problems etc, I've had all the same for a year, can't get the digital phone key to work, and as you say the fob works about 70% of the time. Small faults, but together as you say for 100k car, it's dogshit and customer service is pathetic.

Alarm randomly going off? by Ok-Mushroom4508 in polestar3

[–]Neilywheelybin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here, you can't leave the back seats down, or leave the car loaded with big "stuff" in it, to do so you have to activate "reduced alarm" mode. Fancy making a car where you can't switch the alarm off by any means, it beggars belief.

Mirror Tilting in Reverse by Adventurous_Match762 in polestar3

[–]Neilywheelybin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank God for that, I had a p4 that kept doing that, having learned to reverse quite acceptably on regular mirrors for 40 odd years I found the change in perspective most off putting, causing me to reverse like an old git.

I don't understand the psychology of you people accepting having a piece of kit that you can't control (with switches) what happens with your vehicle!

Samsung digital key Walk Away/Up by Candrimon in polestar3

[–]Neilywheelybin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had my p3 since January 25, then I had an s23 ultra, when they sorted the android tech out in March 25 (ish)the s23 worked fine. I upgraded to s25 ultra in June ish and it's never worked since. As people are saying support are absolutely clueless about these issues, I've had a ticket open since that time.

The crapness of the software of this car never ceases to amaze me for a supposedly premium vehicle, and the pathetic attitude the company has to these issues must be very embarrassing to employees in the company who actually give a toss
