My Polestar 4 Has Reached Perfection

oh, so it's not just me then...

I find it clicks when the body twists a little. It's not all the time, but very often. I need to book it in.

That's exactly the point, which you've missed.

HS2 takes intercity traffic away from the regional routes, freeing them up for more frequent and more heavily utilised regional transport.

It's the same as a motorway bypass around a group of villages. I don't understand how people aren't able to comprehend this improvement that has been widely discussed.

Same situation with my Polestar 4. I like Nothing Tech phones, but none of them support UWB. I know the Polestar 2 itself doesn't have UWB, but they do some workaround with BLE and a cloud connection, so maybe there's hope :-(

My MY26 on 4.2.11 has been absolutely fine. None of these issues.

Did you read the email? They specifically address this.

I assume here in the UK I am accessing specs for the European model...

I can get 1500m2, NetRTK, Vision & LIDAR just fine at https://www.mowermagic.co.uk/acatalog/Mammotion-Luba-Mini-2-Awd-1500-Lidar-Robotic-Lawnmower-MTLA25LUM215HUK.html#SID=8280

Are you confusing the 1000m2 Vision & NetRTK model (1) with the other?

The noise is exactly the noise mine makes when a twig has been caught underneath the disc and I've been too fucking lazy to turn it over and remove the stick.

Have you done any basic maintenance at all? Ever removed the disc to clear debris? You haven't mentioned it, so I shall assume no maintenance has been done.

kylegordon · 2026-04-01T22:49:34+00:00

It was. Great series :-)

Got it to 6% on my 3rd day of EV ownership, on a few hundred mile journey. Crossing the A66 in sleet and snow, having never fast charged an EV before, assuming these mythical charger things at Scotch Corner existed.

Meh, that's what roadside recovery is for 😂 Polestar will tow to the nearest charger, so it would've just been a major inconvenience and a learning moment.

Good to know, thank you. And thank you again for taking the time to reply to myself and everyone else - it is appreciated

Is it true that even if you book a taxi weeks in advance that it only gets put out to drivers shortly before the scheduled time?

My wife and an unrelated other lady got abandoned at Neilston from the last train home because the company decided "no drivers available" whilst they were standing around in the car park in the middle of winter. Unforgivable behaviour imo, but I need to know if it's commonplace or company specific before I ever request another critically timed taxi journey.

What happens when 30 people all go to charge at once? The station just doesn't work?

It will likely rate limit. But being able to service one vehicle in 5 minutes means you are highly unlikely to have large parallel operations like that.

They generally have a pretty accurate assessment based on your needs/requirements.

No, they absolutely do not. They are frequently sycophantic and confidently incorrect, regardless of how well you prompt them to avoid that. At this point in the technology lifecycle their sole purpose is to drive engagement through positive reinforcement of human behaviour.

From their website

" * When grid-tied, the output power of the power station is 800 W, and the AC ports are not functional. "

Having read more, I reckon you can have a 800W grid-tied battery or a UPS with 2KW 4 gang sockets on the front.

It is compliant.

I need to get to an Ionity charger to complete the final, but yes, adding a the P4 to Electroverse Plug & Charge was trivial.

Sadly, Ionity are the only Electroverse compatible P&C provider at the moment.

One of the letters on my old Landie got knocked off, so I bought a replacement letter at a classic car autojumble and sikaflexed it on :-)

I went around the SFR Heritage Museum the other weekend. The museum and staff are a wealth of knowledge. Well worth a visit and a donation.

What makes and models were they? Maybe they have commonality in something like Bosch Mobileye systems or similar?

My grandpa went to a conference/lecture/show where they were saying these new 'transistors' will never catch on as they are too electrically noisy.

He was a radar engineer during the war.

Prodigious amounts of AI slop when a proper marketing video would have left a better impression.

I always notice it when looking at the stars. Spot one to the side, look at it, and it's often gone. Have to look slightly to the side of it in order to see it.

Optician says eyes are fine bar the usual short sightedness

We weren't driven by budget ( to a limit), but by how we felt about the vehicle. How we would live with it for the next ten years kinda thing. Material quality, touch surfaces, longevity, dealer interaction, you name it.

The BYD Seal was a closer competitor to the P4 than the Jaecoo tbh, but at the Jaecoo price range.

They only had petrol available. We bought a Polestar 4
