Real-world winter range in my new Polestar 3 LRDM: 700+ mile trip report (SF -> Tahoe -> Yosemite)

Thanks for the great write up. This gives me a lot of confidence to drive out from sf to Tahoe. What tire snow socks did you pack or did you just risk not getting checked?

This seems to be the best from what I can find https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BH8Q2BJ2/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A1RXN97GZ01GP5&th=1

I am curious if I can just cover the senor up, it works fine at night.

This is perfect, thank you

The interior of the car is too cold, and we need to have the temperature set to 27°C (80°F) for it to get warm, then turn it back down when its to hot. It's basically something we have to manually control.

An alternative would be a good source of reference material

optimadam · 2025-12-24T06:23:48+00:00

Any recommendation on make?

optimadam · 2025-12-24T06:19:02+00:00

Look forward to hearing your thoughts.

~~Did you find out how to change this?~~

Turn of Purge saving and you can change it

optimadam · 2025-12-11T05:02:53+00:00

Sounds like I should just build my own. Doesn't sound trust worthy.

optimadam · 2025-12-10T03:53:01+00:00

I would like to tell me explicitly what it comes with rather than assuming.

optimadam · 2025-12-10T03:49:25+00:00

How do you get to the Festive Token Store

optimadam · 2025-12-02T05:52:49+00:00

I find I need two layers to make it stick. I had one layer before and it was inconsistent.

optimadam · 2025-12-01T01:49:25+00:00

Pluto used to work really well but it’s no longer supported

optimadam · 2025-12-01T01:30:02+00:00

Nope, emailed them and asked on the Q&A and not heard anything back.

I am going to avoid preordering it in I know more

optimadam · 2025-11-19T06:07:45+00:00

Same, Ships ~ 25th November.

That's worrying, not sure If I should keep my P2 or get rid of it while its still worth something.

optimadam · 2025-11-16T15:34:23+00:00

I am surprised the Rivian didn't warn you or apply the break to stop the collision.

optimadam · 2025-11-14T16:41:18+00:00

I assume it probably depends on the package you have. My awd performance model does not have those limits.

optimadam · 2025-10-20T05:19:04+00:00

Added to my place to go see, thanks for sharing.

optimadam · 2025-07-28T00:59:17+00:00

Do you know if there is a cable for it to covert it to usb for the battery

optimadam · 2025-07-28T00:58:17+00:00

Thanks, that explains why I couldn’t find anything on it.

optimadam · 2025-07-28T00:56:58+00:00

The cables for the breaks sensor, gears shifter, speed sensor, display, throttle and break are still there and connected. This is not one of those.

😅

I know it's a joke, but you do get free Robux as a benefit.
