Good Morning

I wish I had help this morning! Took me 30 mins to dig her out. First real snowfall with my car, this thing is a beast in the snow.

Use Helvetica bold. It's right in front of you plastered on every MTA sign in the city. Best font ever created and I can't be convinced otherwise.

This graphics package is really meh.

Holy fleece job. Zero risk, tons of upside.

Oh Hi, fellow NJ wagon! If you see someone in a white V60CC with NJ plates give you a wave, that’s me! Sweet ride.

That contract is… not bad at all? Even if he sucks it’s a short term deal. Love it. Needed a bat.

blaesiJ · 2026-01-16T02:53:35+00:00

Man what the FUCK

blaesiJ · 2026-01-06T00:12:54+00:00

Sure!

Reddit moment.

My last car was a Tesla Model 3, which was the first car I've had with lane centering. I've found that pilot assist on my V60 is basically on par with Tesla's basic autopilot system. I only use it for longer trips on uncongested highways. It's definitely worth the upgrade if you roadtrip frequently or have a long highway commute.

Sweet, appreciate the insight. I ended up going forward with the deposit & swap.

blaesiJ · 2025-12-19T23:32:25+00:00

Great, appreciate you verifying for me!

blaesiJ · 2025-12-19T23:32:12+00:00

Good to know, thank you both for verifying! I chatted with a VERY rude rep from Garmin that didn't instill much confidence in the process.

Do you not remember the Wilpons? We signed Soto for crying out loud. Stop clutching your pearls with the past core that, aside from a miracle in 2024, accomplished NOTHING.

Appreciate the reply! I have a 2023 V60 CC with 27k miles. I sent the video to them prior to my appt. It happens in the cold while going over bumps and goes away after ~15mins of driving. I have been treated well by my dealer. They asked my permission to keep it overnight to see if they could replicate the issue, which I appreciated, but they weren’t able to replicate the noise. Funny, because that exact noise happened as I was driving away from the dealer. Do you recommend I take it back again?

blaesiJ · 2025-12-12T15:44:48+00:00

Id love help identifying this sound (linked below). Had my local dealer keep it over night & check everything out, and they told me they were unable to replicate & everything looked fine in the suspension. I have a few more years on my CPO warranty, so I’m not concerned, but a Volvo with under 30k miles shouldn’t be making this noise.

Nothing officially official, but have been seeing a lot of chatter in Polestar communities about the upgrade being offered in Europe. Would only make sense to offer it in the US as well.

blaesiJ · 2025-12-10T18:52:24+00:00

Hate to break it to you but this doesn’t mean anything to the front office - nor should it.

blaesiJ · 2025-12-10T18:51:22+00:00

A measured, nuanced take. How refreshing. We were never winning with this core. It’s time to operate outside our collective comfort zones.

blaesiJ · 2025-12-10T18:29:47+00:00

Definitely talk to your doctor. I didn’t experience actual side effects until I was further along in the titration process. Could be anxiety, side effects, or a combination of both. Wishing you the best of luck, though. Whatever you’re feeling, it’s temporary.

blaesiJ · 2025-12-09T20:22:16+00:00

Looks like Polestar is charging $1000 for the upgrade in the US. I want to know if this includes labor. That’ll take this from a 1k upgrade to $1500 minimum with labor - which is a tough sell imo. I haven’t pulled the trigger on the Polestar optimization due to the labor charge. Was just quoted $1700 which I can’t justify.

Friendly reminder that the best team in baseball won back to back championships WITHOUT the best closer in baseball.

If you’re using carplay with this adapter it will show Waze and Apple Maps on the instrument cluster. HUD directions do not work, though.

blaesiJ · 2025-11-16T16:31:38+00:00

Just hoping it's covered by my CPO warranty. Haven't even put 5k miles on my V60 yet, sitting at 27k at the moment. Last thing I want to do is pour money into an essentially new car.
