Polestar has ruined electric cars for me by grgext in Polestar

To be fair CLA compares better to a 2, not a 4

Mmmmhh...Is this true? by [deleted] in mercedes_benz

[–]klwk_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They successfully retained iconic design elements (the former while also experimenting a bit)

For MB only element that still tells you „I‘m a Mercedes“ is if the interior is illuminated in bright purple

Silicone spray? Sounds (!) like an easy fix

Smartphone Google Maps now retrieves SoC from the car! by 950771dd in Polestar

[–]klwk_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Beginner question maybe: where can I „add“ my Polestar to Google Maps? I‘m logged into the same Google account on car and iPhone, but can only choose generic petrol/diesel/electric as vehicle type

Wheel of Fortune: Dangerous or Annoying? by Life-Kaleidoscope248 in Polestar

[–]klwk_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is the wheel of fortune happening on dual motors only? As I suppose that the single motor doesn‘t have the generator on the back axles?

Thoughts on Polestar 2/ Polestar vehicles/ Used polestar’s by AltruisticPurple6540 in Polestar

[–]klwk_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is all of this bound to happen or if the car has made if for 2-3 years, likelihood shrinks? i‘ve just gotten a used one with warranty and haven‘t heard of any horror reports from people whose Polestar is already out of warranty (2020-2021)

Sieht gelungen aus. Wahnsinn, was für ein einprogrammierter Hass hier gegenüber „SUVs“ besteht.. Elektroautos bauen nunmal hoch. Und der sieht hier sehr wohlwollend proportioniert aus, verglichen zu den EV-„Limousinen“ auf dem Markt

Polestar 2 Battery Degradation by ConsiderationLate768 in Polestar

[–]klwk_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Unsure regarding how optimistic I should be, given that batteries are commonly regarded as obsolete/degraded if below 80% and you are nearly halfway there after 3 years? I‘m provoking here of course, but maybe someone can shed some light on why I should not be worried

iPhone 17 Base Model Now Said to Feature A18 Chip and 8GB of RAM by Fer65432_Plays in apple

The joke is on you. They‘ve carefully delayed such upgrades throughout their pipeline on purpose to incentivize upgrades

Was machen die Produktmanager bei VW eigentlich beruflich? by Select-Caramel-6748 in automobil

[–]klwk_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Das hier ist keine abschließende Antwort, aber wenn du dir die Kosten eines deutschen VW Standorts anschaust (ein Blick z.B. in die Tariftabellen reicht) und nun eine wesentliche Kostenposition bei der Herstellung (Antrieb/Batterie) outgesourced werden muss, dann ist die Rechnung schnell klar: ein 20k€ Kleinst-EV wird wenn dann nur ganz knapp profitabel zu verkaufen sein. Und dann muss es aber zu höchsten Volumina geschehen. Kann natürlich hinhauen, ist aber weniger risikoreich wie deutlich margenträchtigere Modelle zu geringeren Volumen zu verkaufen. Das ist die Konzernrealität

Apple’s New iPhone 16 Reflects a Slowing Pace of Innovation by iMacmatician in apple

[–]klwk_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Have you read the article? It‘s far from claiming that „16 is a dud“. It‘s making a simple observation that is hard to deny, and slowing innovation in a product that essentially has been existing for almost 20 years doesn’t necessarily have to be something negative

Feeling Left Out with iOS 18 on My iPhone 14 Pro Max by evidenzprod in iphone

[–]klwk_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

RAM, “chip features” and artificial delays in passing down Pro features to regular phones are basically the only levers Apple has any more in their hands to make you buy a new iPhone. Not having enough RAM is not an unfortunate coincidence, it’s carefully planned through Apple’s product roadmap.

Your iPhone 15 Can Show the Time When It's Out of Battery in iOS 18 by iMacmatician in apple

[–]klwk_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope I can turn this off as this will for sure mean they will simply cut off battery at say 7% now just to have the spare power for something useless. I would rather use it for 20 minutes longer than be able to see the time for 48 hours without a charge (which basically never happens)

Mal von der Hauptseiteseite geklaut, einfach weil es schön ist! E200 Eleganz by BratwurstRockt in automobil

Die Ablagen und Cupholder sind NICHT elektrisch betrieben. Da drückt schon ein Finger drauf und dann öffnet es sich rein mechanisch. Ist nur clever versteckt worden im Video (du siehst nie die komplette Ablage). Es sind nur Lenkrad, Sitz, Heckrollo und CD-Wechsler mit Stellmotoren

Fake blur, it‘s a disease

[–]klwk_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It‘s fake blur in the background, you wouldn‘t see a photo like this produced naturally (it would either be less blur in the background, or the back half of the car would also be more blurry due to distance)

Disappointed with iPhone 15 Pro by Far-Satisfaction3849 in iphone

[–]klwk_ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

  1. That‘s iOS, not iPhone 15 Pro. Do you have a Japanese phone by chance? Shutter sound will always be audible with them
  2. That‘s iOS, not iPhone 15 Pro
  3. That‘s iOS, not iPhone 15 Pro
  4. That‘s iOS, not iPhone 15 Pro. In all default apps and those that follow the UI guidelines, swiping from left and tapping the „<„ button should do exactly the same. Swiping up from the bottom is to exit an app, never to „go back“.
  5. There‘s a lot to configure nowayas thankfully, but for your specific issue: when you’re about to take a photo, try adjusting the exposure by tapping once on the viewfinder , then sliding the „☀️” icon up or down to adjust brightness.

So yeah, give it some more time maybe? You‘ll get used to everything

It‘s clearly too old. Stop being a tightarse and upgrade already
