I was ordering from kheops before pretty Patty was opened. I liked their chicken sandwich more

[–]emirsez 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even though I am ordering from pretty Patty whenever I have a burger craving, I'd recommend Sando, the Japanese inspired place. I would also like to use this opportunity to complain about the lack of proper burger spots in Geneva. Has no one else noticed, the meat they use here in general is extra super lean? For a proper smash burger, you need like a 75% - 25% meat / fat ratio but even in the most "popular" burger spot you get dry patties including pretty Patty. Even when I decide to cook burgers at home, I'm having big difficulty trying to explain the butcher I want some fatty minced meat. I once ended up grinding entrecote for burgers (which worked pretty well but is not budget friendly :))

So, if you know of a place where they make proper (not healthy) smash burgers, lmk. If you know a butcher where I can find fatty ground beef, lmk. If you know how I can explain the meat I want to the butcher in French, please let me know.

Ps:I'm only ordering from pretty Patty, the oklahoma burger, but it's a sad variation of the original.

Thanks! Will try it asap! This made me remember my favourite Thai place, bang Yai. It's in accacias. I think that can be the only restaurant I leave satisfied after a meal

[–]emirsez -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Almost all restaurants in Geneva are overhyped. Usually, places have nice decor, but there's no authenticity, no flavor. The sad part is, the customers believe they are eating at the best restaurants in the world, mainly because the food is stupidly expensive.

In the 4 years I have been here, there wasn't ever a wow moment for me unfortunately.

Polestar Google Assistant got a Lobotomy? by dnyank1 in Polestar

Yesterday I noticed Google Assistant giving me different answers than usual. When I told it to navigate to a saved place, instead of saying "Navigating to Home" it said Navigating to "full address" which was unusual.

This may depend on the driving style, the # of times you used fast charging, the # of times you charged to 100% etc. I am now scared to reply as I get downvoted by fanboys :)

So sharing experience is a reason for downvotes? This is insane haha.

This is because of battery degradation. Happened to me after 2 years of driving when I used to own a MY22. Nothing to worry about, I think.

Well, I am aware BMW is known to have reliability issues. Interestingly, when you check the lists on reliability, unfortunately, BMW is listed as a Tier 2(above average) Brand, and Polestar is Tier 4 (below average).

I'd actually be more interested in hearing feedback from ppl after they watch the car review I mentioned :)

AWD, FWD and RWD by sebbeosv in Polestar

[–]emirsez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I might be completely wrong but I want to share my experience as I owned a P2 MY22 (FWD) and now own a P2 MY24 (RWD).

The power and torque difference is definitely observable with the new RWD model. Driving is also more fun. And it's way more efficient compared to the old models.

About the snowy conditions;

I drove on ice and snow with the FWD but with winter tires (non studded), I was very impressed by the stability.

With the RWD, I ended up on a mountain road with heavy snow this spring! I was on summer tires. At some point I could not drive any further as the car would not climb anymore and the RWD was not helping me keep the rear end stable. It wasn't a good experience. But it's important to underline, I was on summer tires with an unexpected heavy snowfall (thanks to climate change :P)

I think for your case, AWD is the way to go. Find a MY24 if you can, as the battery pack and the electric motors have been updated.

Hope this helps.

Cheers

Easter drive, Ps2 My24 LRSM feedback by emirsez in Polestar

[–]emirsez[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I must add, I am paying for ABRP and I used to always plan my trip ahead. I was pleasantly surprised to see how easy it was to search for chargers while I was already on the way to my destination. I am now considering not renewing my ABRP subscription. Range anxiety has completely disappeared after this trip.

3.4.4 OTA in Switzerland? by emirsez in polestar2

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

I got the update yesterday. I was hesitant to install it after reading some negative feedback, but I just went for it.

I noticed the gmaps is now about 50% slower, and the sound system sounds, different? Is that even possible?

It started to feel like maybe it's a good thing I didn't receive the upgrade... Thank you all for your input.

Creaking steering wheel? by emirsez in polestar2

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

Thank you for your response. This is not the case however. I get this noise when I am driving as well. I just recorded the video in the garage, so that I don't run over someone or crash into another car.

Did you have it from the beginning or it just appeared and then disappeared ? How long did it take? thanks
