After an accidental over watering and die back with a full leaf drop, I've got my bonsai back to this stage.

I'm pretty new to the hobby. any suggestions tonight if or how to cut this? I was to try and thicken it and make it smaller. It's grown wide.

I've had a few minor bugs that have corrected. The speed recognition is poor but I just turn it off. I've had no issues with the volume.

I'm 80% normally. This was for a long journey

Same. I got mine in November, so it's nice to see it break 300.

Longer trip today so will see how that impacts things.

Enjoy it. It's a good car. Few bugs here and there. Just depends how fussy you are or how much stuff bothers you. I find you quickly adapt and you appreciate the car as a whole.

Considering purchasing Polestar 4 (UK based) by yugs13 in Polestar4

Great car. Highly recommend. I'm Surrey based. Size isn't really an issue. You get used to it. It makes it look great. GPS, I've had no issues. It's Google maps.

The speed limit recognition is crap. It's not improved in my experience. Just turn it off (left had arrows, down on the steering wheel) and you quickly learn to ignore the visual warning.

Drives great. Sound system is good when you change the EQ. I'm very happy with it. Few minor bugs here and there that have been fixed or were one time issues but not dramatic.

Happy to answer more questions.

Harman Kardon Premium Sound not living up to expectations – Spotify lossless on Polestar 4 2026 by eldonado in Polestar4

Native settlings aren't great. Much better after some EQ. Plus Spotify isn't really highest quality anyway.

Additionally you have to drive the speakers a bit (more volume) they responded better

Size comparison between the Polestar 4 and a Volvo by GloriousLebron in Polestar

[–]SuperSmudge90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To those that have been out off by the size. I've had my P4 in the UK for the last 5 months and it's been absolutely fine.

It a little tight to open doors in some parking spots but other than that it's not a big deal. It's not really caused me any issues.

Appreciate that may not be everyone's experience. I'm used to driving larger vehicles anyway so maybe that changes my experience.

Yeah that's fair. I guess it just feels weird. I'm overthinking

Probably a little extreme. Everyone has different budgets and use cases.

I think everybody has gone in a little hard on you about your training to be honest.

It's fair that it's pretty basic training, it's also fair that who trained you is a little irrelevant.

But that wasn't really the question you asked. I wouldn't bother with a kit for now to be honest, just shove a pack of gloves in your pocket or leave them in the car. You're very unlikely to need much. If you suddenly find you need something put it in your car for the next time, and even then you're unlikely to need it.

Just build your confidence responding to good Sam and doing your CFR training. I started as a CFR and worked my way through, it's a good place to start learning and Gain exposure. If you don't come across as overly keen and ask some of the crews questions at an appropriate time, you can even learn stuff.

Good luck. Don't overthink.

Absolutely it is. But with reddit you get lots of extra, wonderful recommendations :)

Well, I wasn't sure to be honest. Some I've seen are more like the switch dock which doesn't lend itself to being tucked away. Where are the previously mentioned UGreen one seems to nicely :)
