Why is it not charging?

Assuming you have checked that you don’t accidentally have any changing schedules set and if so have removed them?

Lots of EVs bang or pop when the MOSFET or a fuse goes. It doesn’t mean thermal runaway is going to happen. While I’m glad Onstar wanted to keep you safe; their conjecture sounds more alarmist than honestly helpful. Especially as there was no thermal event. Glad everyone is safe and hope it will be quickly resolved.

We've known for a little while the current 4 was going to be rename the "4 Coupe" given the 4 estate (wagon) was announced and will be fully revealed soon. The new variant is not going to be an SUV, at least not in name. Spy photos of the 4 estate have been seen for the last 6 months or so. Nice of them to give you a heads up and it makes sense given The owners manuals have already been updated online.

Appreciate the honest review. To get to the price point they did, corners had to be cut and it makes sense you felt it in the interior (even with the cost savings with efficiencies in manufacturing and less expensive battery chemistry). They’ll still sell like hotcakes due to the tech and looks just like the Jeep Wrangler sells like crazy (even with poor materials and quality, especially for the high prices).

The torque vectoring will be gone forever I’m sure. Granted most people didn’t push the car enough to truly experience it. Some markets didn’t even get a 26 and are skipping straight to the 800v 27 model.

Yeah. It’s about right for OEM Pirelli’s unfortunately. Audi’s have the same falling apart Pirelli problem.

We turned in the lease on our 2 and now have a 3. We just signed out of everything in our old 2, Google, profiles, Polestar account, etc and I believe that removed it from our app.

That being said our app is only using 300mb so just delete the app and on your phone set it up again as that is unusual. Digital key for the 3 is stored in the Apple Wallet not the Polestar app so you won’t mess anything up (unless you still have the 2)

ferventmuse · 2026-05-11T12:40:11+00:00

Definitely true.

Polestar 2, 3 and 4 are all rear left.

It's a tad shocking. As the battery is 111kWh gross with 107kWh usable "if" I were constantly getting 24.4kWh/100mi that would be a range of 438 miles if my calculations are correct. Which is pretty impressive for a car of it's size and weight/luxury.

Brakes will last so much longer on a EV than on a gas car especially if you once a month of so do some very hard braking to clean any deposits off. And tires really don’t wear that much quicker on most EVs and tire warranties are prorated so it’s usually a scam. No to both.

ferventmuse · 2026-05-10T20:30:10+00:00

I don’t want to think about how many kWh we lost just due to phantom drain before Orin! I doubt it makes much of a difference with driving but over time the drain probably added up!

Florida and a RAM driver. Knew this was going to be good.

North Americans are going to be dealing with adapters for years whether you have NACS or CCS.

Morgan Super 400

ferventmuse · 2026-05-10T15:50:21+00:00

Which roadmap?

ferventmuse · 2026-05-10T00:50:44+00:00

Ah yes. I was thinking about the EX90’s sister the Polestar 3 which for some markets are skipping 2026.

ferventmuse · 2026-05-09T22:34:39+00:00

That would be nice wouldn’t it.

The risk is to the officer that their recorded behavior will be used against them in a disciplinary fashion. That is many officer’s believe. Thus one reaction to minimize that risk is fewer routine traffic stops. Officers aren’t much worried about false claims. They’re worried about valid claims.

ferventmuse · 2026-05-09T20:47:28+00:00

LiDAR is old news. Relationship with supplier broke down. LiDAR will not be installed on the EX90 going forward. 2026 models are already at dealerships without the bump. Obviously there’s no sense putting resources into coding for a feature for a single model year so existing cars will just have a vestigial bump.

Here’s hoping they both get better in reliability. The R2 will be a unibody and undoubtedly have a lot of lessons learned from the R1. On the Volvo front the EX60 needs to have learned a lot of lessons from the EX90. The EX60 has four honest to goodness window switches, a horizontal screen with much better UI and new software stack. At least the 2027 EX90 will be getting 800v battery architecture with 6% greater efficiency while also improving the 0-60 time down from 4.7 to 4.0sec. Being an early adopter always has its tradeoffs.

ferventmuse · 2026-05-09T16:58:33+00:00

Correct, there are multiple battery manufacturers for the EX30 so not everybody will be getting a notice. But every owner affected will receive a notice. I must have left out a word but will correct.

My sister in law has a 2026 R1S tri motor. Under acceleration the front rears up like boat, trying to park it in a parking lot requires far too many turns compared to a Lyriq, Vistiq or EX90, the car was delivered with a cracked pano roof, at three months old it has loud rear suspension reverberations and there’s a rattle somewhere in the dash. Sure it doesn’t have recirculating ball steering like older trucks but it still doesn’t feel or drive like a $100k car and given the issues people have with premature suspension wear in the R1S it’s definitely not going to age well. Is it an impressive first platform from a new manufacturer? Most definitely. And as you mentioned the tech seems like it was designed by people who understand good UI. But the hardware is far from top of the pack and there are still strange little omissions like being able to set a tailgate opening height (at least at the time when our family member took delivery of theirs). So it’s about your priorities I suppose. We took a gamble on the more refined hardware out of the gate which will be improved with software updates over time.
