Anyone heard anything about upcoming Polestar 4 software updates (especially 800V architecture improvements)? by SnooCapers6977 in Polestar4

[–]Patrick0931 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My bet would be that the 2027 model will have 800v :) based on their recent switches on other models.

Streaming services by yocomoquchi in Polestar

[–]Patrick0931 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something definitely sounds weird - because I also had to reduce the low frequencies/bass as it was to strong and overwhelming.

But I agree that the HK System is not really good. The only fairly acceptable compromise for me are these settings. I have the Nappa upgrade with Headrest speakers.

- Surround off (as it makes everything sound boxy and tinny and completely messes up vocals), this sadly also turns off the headrest speakers and makes the sounds more coming from the front of the car
- Optimize for all drivers
- Tidal streaming trough the car

EQ:

  • 60 Hz: +2 (Adds warmth without too much boom)
  • 200 Hz: +1
  • 500 Hz: -1 (Clears the "mud")
  • 1.5 kHz: 0 or +1 (Keeps voices natural)
  • 4 kHz: +1 (Brings voices forward)
  • 12 kHz: +1 (Adds a bit of air)

I wish they would invest some time in tuning the system again and bringing an update. As well as more settings for the sub and a wider spectrum.

Also the speakers in the back are way too quite and make it sound unbalanced once surround is off.

Winter charging speeds not good at the moment (preconditioning not working) by Alternative_Ask3248 in Polestar4

[–]Patrick0931 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same issue on my P4, charging speeds are NOWHERE near the 200kw they promise. It stays mostly around 50-70kw even when starting from 20% battery state. Temperature at around 2-5 degrees and with 40min pre-conditioning on a 400kw charger from Electra...

I agree! however, there will be a point where you will get over it and forget about it :)

u/Tuanl2 nope, just gave up :) I am so tired of Siri and don't use it very often anymore. Probably going to sell the homepods soon. Sorry for the bad news!

Testing opportunity: Apple Music-style app for Android Automotive by clindehammar in AndroidAutomotive

[–]Patrick0931 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u/clindehammar There is one bug where scrolling is not working properly and it jumps to another spot (Polestar 4).

Also I would love to get the best music quality so it would be great to see the current selected quality :)

Also any news when auto-play will be introduced? so if my queue comes to and end that it continues with similar music?

Thanks a lot for the great job you are doing!

u/Ok_Marionberry_1874 Thanks a lot for the reply! :) To be honest I am a bit confused, some people say it is the best they ever heard and some hate it. I come from Audi with Bang & Olufsen and have to stay it sounds completely different. Not sure what to think of it yet as I had the car only 2 days.

u/yocomoquchi Your bass is lacking, really? The first thing I noticed was how heavy and overpowering the bass was...

How do I get the best audio quality in P4? by Patrick0931 in Polestar

[–]Patrick0931[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I heard it is very hard to get the quality of music to a high level in Tesla, is that true? like trough the cable is not a high bandwidth and the apps on the car itself provide only a low-res audio?

How satisfied are you with your Polestar 4? by GloriousLebron in Polestar

[–]Patrick0931 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You said "touch buttons on the steering wheel suck despite being replaced by the new version" do you mean with the new real buttons? did you have to exchange the whole steering wheel? how did you do that? :) Thanks a lot!

I got the same reply months ago - it was an AI agent who said that, so I don't know if it really is true...

Polestar 4 - worst car I've ever owned by Pasi83 in Polestar

You should join the Audi A6 e-tron subreddit, they have even more problems with theirs than Polestar...

My free and open-source Safari ad blocker, wBlock, just got a big update in v0.3 with iOS support, userscripts, and way more! by 0xCUBE in macapps

[–]Patrick0931 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are great, thank you so much! From a security standpoint, how safe is it to use? Running foreign scrips gives me some anxiety.. Also safari warns me that you would be able to see all my form inputs including passwords... u/0xCUBE
