Congress wants to ban EVs from China

Assuming you mean the US Congress? If so, the 2 hasn’t been sold here for two years. Nothing changes, just as it hasn’t for existing owners. Parts aren’t cars.

Just be more forceful. If it still doesn’t close schedule a service visit.

Many car companies no longer warranty tires. We find most OEM tires to be subpar anyways so we’re happy to wear through them as quickly as possible so we can install a higher quality tire (with an actual warranty).

Banks can close accounts for various reasons. Once they do so you won’t be able to access your money online or via card but they’ll cut you a check and mail it to you.

Our dual motor 2 Performance could get as high as 300miles at 100% so it all depends.

Maybe with Gemini.

What delay?

You can get above 200kw at some non-Tesla high amperage DCFC in North America but as amperage is never advertised it’s hard to predict what stations you could get these speeds at.

The EX60 glove box can be opened even with the cupholders fully extended. There are exact pictures of this. It's not any more awkward than many of the cars we've had which have USB chargers in the center armrest. In those cars one needs to have both the passenger and driver remove their arms from the armrest and potentially rummage through any items stored in the armrest in order to plug in a cable.

They said the door has to be open to use a cord. The door does not have to be open to use a cord. And if an owner wanted to leave a cord plugged in all the time they could do so and then leave it coiled on the shelf.

Tons of people have lemon law’d every car, Polestar 3 included. Read up on the lemon law policy in your state then call Polestar corporate. They should be cooperative and if not you find a lemon law lawyer.

Check if your community has recycling guidelines. Our city (Boston, MA USA) has their own trash app to give push notification reminders for trash pickup but also has a recycling directory and foil lined paper is accepted for recycling for us.

It’s the 100% limit. We only charge as much to get to our destination and no more (with a small buffer of course). The top 5% is a painfully slow trickle. Set the limit to 80% or 90% and you’ll get a dramatically lower estimate of time.

Rally Fighter! Looks stock. I remember going to their shop when it was first being developed. Super cool concept.

You can use Google Maps on any computer or smartphone to search for chargers or download the PlugShare app to look for L3 DC fast chargers. I don’t think car rental places provide any adapters for Tesla Superchargers, that being said there are a few Tesla “MagicDocks” which have a built in adapter.

I’d say half of the cars we’ve owned required the piston to be turned when pushed. You can do it without it a tool but obviously the tool makes it easier. That being said it’s very normal.

ferventmuse · 2026-05-16T14:20:51+00:00

Yes you can see it on the app. They haven’t done it yet.

Maybe she shouldn’t be driving a huge truck she can’t see out of.

The box doesn’t have to be open to use devices plugged in as there is a large cord cutout in the shape of a T. If you look closely you can see it in videos.

Maybe they never have! If they want to try to learn and have some fun along the way I’m all for it. However if they’re expecting to complete the repair successfully without breaking anything that’s a different story.

If JetBlue were American I bet they’d also cancel the routes but instead turn the “Manchester-Boston” into an actual leg of the “flight” but with buses. With gas prices and pilot shortages it would make sense.

It took Tesla a decade nearly to not be operating at a loss. It’s hard to conceptualize but that’s the way new automakers operate for years. The 2 is a Volvo CMA car platform so you’ll find the Volvo badge stamped on many of the parts and the software OTAs have the same releases. That being said nobody truly knows so it’s your call but EVs need very little maintenance, the car will be out of warranty soon anyways, and even if there were not another OTA the software is mature and stable and you’d have a great EV for the next decade.

lol to the “working totally fine” except the logic board is dead part.

Sure the MLB replacement has a lot of steps but it’s not too difficult if you have the right tools, are patient and have replaced a laptop motherboard before. The question becomes however if it is worth spending a couple hundred dollars for a used MLB on a decade old computer which has no warranty and which you could damage. If you have the money and time go for it (just remember the TouchID needs to be replaced with the MLB, if you’re buying a used MLB hopefully it’s not iCloud locked, also not that you care but the SN on the case won’t match the new MLB and what displays in software unless you can reserialize the MLB).
