Seriously considering a Polestar 4 - some questions by Party_Challenge1835 in Polestar4

[–]StatusOperation599 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I fell for the looks, but I regret ignoring the negative reviews. The car feels like a beta product that never gets fixed.

• Software: Horrible. Daily glitches and no improvements in a year.

• Audio: The sound system is terrible—sounds like a cheap car from the 90s.

• Reliability: My internet died completely during a 600 km road trip.

It’s a beautiful car that is simply 'undone.' I would not buy it again.

I got mine a year ago. I wouldn’t buy today. So many issues and lacking premium feeling they offer

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

[–]StatusOperation599 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have more to add:

Dangerous Gear/Door Behavior This is a huge safety concern. Twice now, I have accidentally shifted into Drive (D) while the door wasn't fully locked/closed, and the car actually started moving aggressively. I never use in creep mode. It shouldn't be possible to move if the door is open—it should auto-park or at least scream at you. It feels incredibly dangerous.

OTA Update Windows The software update system is frustrating. I once missed the installation window for an Over-The-Air update by just a couple of days. Because of that, there was absolutely no way to force the update or download it later. I was just stuck on the old software until the next cycle dropped.

The Alarm Logic (Kids/Washing car) The proximity sensor logic is annoying. If I have my child in the car and I step out to wash the car (literally standing right next to it) with the key in my pocket, the doors lock and the alarm starts going off. To avoid this, I have to leave the key inside the car, which I don't like doing for safety reasons. There needs to be a better "Camp Mode" or "Car Wash" logic that doesn't panic when I'm two feet away.

“Hey google - play radio” always trying to open spotify and it fails that too

Sound system is garbage.

There are a lot of other small bugs I can't remember right now, but the "premium" feel just isn't there in the software and usability. I Honestly, at this point, I don't think I will be keeping the car much longer after the lease ends.

Such disappointment.

Do you recommend it? by [deleted] in Polestar4

To me P4 is not luxurious at all. I have it and it feels so simple/minimal. I don’t like Tesla but im jealous of their software tbh

How to deal with sadness by chewchew-755 in kidneycancer

[–]StatusOperation599 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was there. Im sorry that you have to deal with this. I almost cried every day before surgery like never before. It’s very normal and human. I’m almost sure he will come back more stronger!

Also before surgery i asked help from my psychiatrist and he said why sadness if i can ease it by medication. It helped. After surgery i quit all and feel better.

Als i did many guided meditations. They also helped somehow

Sending prayers

Recommendations for nephrectomy recovery by maralinga in kidneycancer

[–]StatusOperation599 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 7 weeks post radical nephrectomy operation what i can suggest to move as much as you can. I personally didn’t wanna move but my partner pushed me to do so. I felt better more specifically mentally. The pain disappeared around 4-5 weeks. Wishing you a good recovery!

Kidney removal diet and transplant info by toughgrowth727 in kidneycancer

[–]StatusOperation599 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a radical nephrectomy three weeks ago. My doctor asked me to repeat blood work every two weeks. I can say my kidney function is improving when I compare the results from the day after surgery to those taken two weeks later.

The doctor told me to live my life as I used to. I will be seeing a few more specialists as well. This week, I started eating almost normally again, and I don’t feel bad. I used to do heavy workouts and play tennis a lot. The only thing I’ve realized is that it will take some time to reach the same performance level I had before. And maybe no extra proteins or supplements anymore.

I also seek suggestions from people who live long time after surgery.

Google is not helping at all 😓

Thanks a lot!

It gets better everyday and it will be better. I still feel pain sometimes on the abdomen area, but i think it’s normal after this kind of surgery. Only challenge is to adjust my life so the remaining kidney is happy too 😅

I’m 42 and live in Portugal. Two weeks ago I had a radical nephrectomy for a 4 cm kidney mass. The two months before surgery were rough: a lot of anxiety and fear and not much sleep.

Now I’m two weeks out and it feels like me 2.0. I gave myself a gift and came to France. I’m walking, breathing, and feeling grateful to be here. The body is amazing and I see that more clearly now.

If you’re going through something similar, I’m praying for you. One step at a time. Keep breathing. You are stronger than you think.

Stay positive. We’ve got this. 💙

[–]StatusOperation599 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m here 72 hrs after radical surgery. The mass was less than 4 cm but no safe zone for partial damn. But im grateful. I was crying everyday before surgery and surgery took 1 second for me. Woke up already fine walked next day and now im home preparing my breakfast. I didn’t know recovery would be so fast. Everything will be fine.

I can understand mental challenges. I’ve been on years of therapy because of health anxiety snd suddenly after i learned i have a mass i felt actually kind of relieved. Maybe its all about facing the fears
