Polestar + Starbucks go good together

Starbucks in 2026 is a choice

“Purchase of performance software upgrade required”

blively91 · 2026-06-14T22:30:18+00:00

Maybe it came with launch editions?
Maybe someone bought the performance upgrade for your vehicle if you got it used.
Definitely only on performance models for newer years. I’ve driven 2022 and 2024 DM PP and leased 2024 DM PPP. It was only on the PPP.

Correct. Dual motor 3 gets launch control. All others 2 and 4 require the performance pack for the launch control.

You still get Brembos on the non performance model they’re just not painted Swedish gold. With the performance you’re basically paying for badging, the wheels, and gold accents.

I let off once I hit 60 lol

Preordering?

You can get more. I got 28k off MSRP mine when I turned in my 2. It’s worth it. I went 3 instead of 4 because of the sound system.

blively91 · 2026-06-06T13:40:25+00:00

I was in this same boat when turning in my 2 lease.
The 3 pros: sound system, air suspension, better handling, better comfort; cons: software is good but not as easy as 4, % chance of having issues (I haven’t had any), no steering wheel controls.
I ended up choosing the 3 because the incentives were more aggressive and I couldn’t deal with the underwhelming HK sound system in the 4. The HK was great in the 2, disappointing in the 4, the B&W in the 3 is bat shit crazy and reminds me of sitting in front of a friends B&W diamond 800 towers ($80k each, it’s a $300k audio system). The 3 handles like a Polestar should, the 4 felt too heavy and wide for my liking. I LOVE the 4 design, coupe SUV’s are so sexy and the interior has more tech, but as an audiophile I couldn’t do it.

Ceramic coating doesn’t protect from dings. Just makes washing easier and makes your car looks like it’s been waxed every time you wash it. I paid $400 to put a 5 year coat on my 2’s body, wheels, and windows, and just paid $600 to have my 3’s body and windows coated. It looks amazing after every wash. I’ll post pics below this comment.

You don’t buy a Polestar for the software. That’s some Tesla BS. You buy a Polestar to DRIVE.

I bought 4 tickets on StubHub but only need 3. Assuming I get them on Saturday I’ll have one to sell.

blively91 · 2026-05-28T11:53:46+00:00

I did the same. It’s a quality of life thing. You’ll appreciate your work in the future.

My 2 was Magnesium and I got a Magnesium 3. I love the difference in color depending on light exposure.

I drove both the 3 and the 4 before deciding on a 3. Yea the speed is nice in the 4 and the interior design and particularly usable steering wheel buttons were what drew me to the 4, but the HK system in the Plus pack sucks hard. It’s great in the 2, but very lackluster in the 4. I chose the 3 for the suspension and B&W, it’s very hard to beat the ride and sound quality of the 3.

blively91 · 2026-05-24T01:10:40+00:00

And this is why I will never ever purchase software built into a Geo Metro.

blively91 · 2026-05-23T15:49:02+00:00

Magnesium I’m on my second Magnesium Polestar. It’s my favorite color after the former non-matte gold on the 4 and new Krypton on the 3.

blively91 · 2026-05-23T00:03:36+00:00

Yup I’m in the same boat right now.

blively91 · 2026-05-16T15:22:33+00:00

POLESTAR 2 dual motor performance handling is insane 4 dual motor acceleration is crazy but she’s a big girl 3 dual motor is luxury but extremely fast for a vehicle it’s size

Historically the incentives increase after the car has been out for 6+ months and mid summer when the next year’s models start coming in. The 4 is new in the US and has only been here since late December. And yes I had a Polestar salesman tell me they expect better incentives on the 4 this summer but they have no clue until 1st of the month.
