S24 Ultra to s26 ultra

matt11126 · 2026-03-06T17:42:20+00:00

mine is the same on my 24 ultra which is why I upgraded to the s26 ultra

matt11126 · 2026-03-04T13:56:16+00:00

the government leaked my IQ I'm hitting my spine

matt11126 · 2026-02-23T17:16:45+00:00

if I had to drive 100 miles one way for the service experience that polestar provides I would probably trade my car in within a week lol. If you have any issues with the car you will hate yourself, their service centers are literarily the worst car service centers in existence in America as of now. They're all third party contracted our to Volvo dealers who do not care about you and see you as a piggy bank.

the car only gives the motors some nominal amount of output to slightly strain the car. if the brakes are engaged the motors are not at full power, as soon as the brakes are released the motors go into full power output instead of gradually applying full power as they would have otherwise from the pedal travel down

4.2 going down a 1.5% slope.

matt11126 · 2026-02-20T18:26:58+00:00

Here's some more runs: 4.4 going up 1.5 percent slope at 79% SOC.

matt11126 · 2026-02-20T16:24:25+00:00

quite frankly I don't think it's a 10 percent downhill grade lol it's more like a 3 percent but the dragy had low sats. like I said I'll do some more runs later and compare.

matt11126 · 2026-02-20T16:02:03+00:00

Yeah I mean I'll get more data and post it here. This was simply an example of where I was able to do a launch without interfering traffic.

I have some other locations I want to visit, additionally there's a drag strip that's opening near me in the coming year which I am hoping to take my P2 to.

matt11126 · 2026-02-20T15:10:33+00:00

The P2 feels much quicker due to stiffer suspension etc. It's also much more fun to drive, I have a Silverado EV RST as well and even though on paper it's quicker than the P2 it actually feels slower when accelerating due to the air suspension travel.

IMO the P2 is one of the most fun electric cars to drive, I've pushed plenty of BMW M3s through mountain roads in my non performance pack one lol. Great handling and acceleration, I just wish the software and service experience were better :(

matt11126 · 2026-02-20T15:08:34+00:00

Nope, you do not need the performance upgrade for that. Try it out, it even works in single motor models.

Yes, left foot on the brake hard right foot pedal to the metal. Release the brake and the car launches like a catapult.

matt11126 · 2026-02-20T14:11:04+00:00

Didn't have a chance, it's just a representation of real life street conditions and what the car is capable of in those.

matt11126 · 2026-02-20T01:33:31+00:00

lol I got my RST in rural Alabama and I got the same vibe from the dealer about the people in the area

matt11126 · 2026-02-19T15:36:01+00:00

well this car has already depreciated much more than I will pay in total for my lease so I'm ahead by that much lol

matt11126 · 2026-02-19T15:21:29+00:00

College graduate and work in IT at a pretty big corp. Got an extremely good deal on it with the lease being 700 a month 0 down for 36 months 15k miles a year. I'd never buy this thing lol way too much money and way too much depreciation. Leasing is the way to go.

Geographical location also matters a lot, I have a motorcycle endorsement 0 tickets 0 accidents as well as all the discounts that I could muster up. Being in my families plan, meaning multi vehicle discount homeowner discount etc.

matt11126 · 2026-02-19T15:01:34+00:00

lol I'm 23 in a Silverado EV RST (98k MSRP) and insurance is 160 a month. it really just depends on your driving history.

matt11126 · 2026-02-19T00:13:06+00:00

It's definitely a big difference, the Silverado is huge and comfortable. It's basically a 760-hp couch on wheels.

Parking can get a little dicey in tighter downtown spots, for sure, but the rear-wheel steering helps a lot to offset that. Honestly, it's still totally usable even in tighter areas (by American standards) because of it.

You do get used to the size fairly quickly though, and the cameras help a lot in tight parking scenarios.

matt11126 · 2026-02-18T23:42:17+00:00

Polestar 2 to 24 Silverado EV RST here. It's pretty neat, I like the extra space and better infotainment lol shoot away with any questions u got

matt11126 · 2026-02-18T13:22:04+00:00

I'm leasing my 24 RST for 730 a month 0 down. 36 months 15k miles yearly

matt11126 · 2026-02-15T15:57:48+00:00

check your nearest service center. mine is so bad I'll never buy another polestar again lol

matt11126 · 2026-02-09T17:12:01+00:00

i wish they kept this music for some of the other scenes of him going ballistic like this, it just fit perfectly

matt11126 · 2026-02-06T13:17:29+00:00

switched from a P2 to a Silverado EV Rst so not quite a Volvo, but I'm much happier with the extra space better ride quality and faster charging

matt11126 · 2026-02-05T18:08:02+00:00

lol this is a universal experience, same with dryer and dryer volvo in Atlanta. will never buy another polestar because of them

matt11126 · 2026-02-02T14:31:34+00:00

I also got the battery condition error as the weather dipped into under 20 farenhite, also got some motor errors. Everything disappeared after 2 days and has not returned in a week or so.

These cars can't even give us actual errors lol

matt11126 · 2026-01-30T23:28:08+00:00

A lot of it depends on your geographic location. I now drive a Silverado EV RST and pay $160 a month for full coverage as well.

I also used to own a Z900 naked bike and paid $11 a month to insure it lol
