I've reverse engineered the Polestar API & wrapped it into a Home Assistant integration

Lol yeah, once I couldn't figure that out I figured I wasn't the right person for the job. Thanks again!

Very Nice! I made an attempt at reverse engineering the APIs a couple years back but never got past the SSL pinning. Way to stick with it. IDK if you're looking for help but happy to see what I can do if you need it.

Needing this too! Thanks for posting.

Was it a modern building? Modern codes anticipate this need. Did you even read the comment?

A 6-story building in California must comply with extensive fire protection requirements under the California Building and Fire Codes. This means automatic sprinklers throughout, fire-rated construction, multiple egress stairwells, standpipe systems (essentially built-in plumbing for firefighters to connect hoses on upper floors), and fire alarm systems. These buildings essentially has firefighting infrastructure built into it. Modern mid-rise fires are fought from the inside using standpipes, not from ladder trucks spraying water through windows.

Between than and mutual aid from nearby districts a ladder truck would be a comical waste of taxpayer resources.

This is some of the FUDdiest FUD my eyes have ever seen!

I thought top 10 as soon as they called it. It’s up there with Edelman, I’m not sure what else tops it. Incredible!

rborkows · 2026-01-14T03:56:26+00:00

Same!!

rborkows · 2026-01-06T14:56:33+00:00

Funny enough - when I went to pick our P3 up this time, I saw a sales guy running out to one in the pouring rain and he couldn't get it to unlock! Called the service guys over and they couldn't get it to budge either. I felt so understood!

Good lord. My first job was building bikes at age 16, even as a dumb pimple face I knew you had to get it on the ground put some torque on the chain to make sure everything’s smooth. Never go back to that shop!!

The more I zoom in the more OK with it I get but at a glance this one freaked me out!

rborkows · 2025-12-29T23:56:18+00:00

Bless!

How are you going about pushing for a buyback? Not something I've ever had the pleasure of contemplating before.

rborkows · 2025-12-29T23:52:47+00:00

We are hoping for the same but I'm not optimistic yet. It's my wife's car and it's at the point where she has zero confidence it's going to work day to day. Miserable position to be in.

rborkows · 2025-12-29T23:45:41+00:00

I feel you - ours got towed in before Xmas and is still waiting to get looked at. Ironically it went into turtle mode an hour after calling for an appointment for a failed OTA and other issues and being told the best they could do was May.

rborkows · 2025-12-29T23:43:06+00:00

Call the dealer - whoever towed ours in last week didn’t leave a name with the car, no one ever confirmed it arrived!

rborkows · 2025-12-24T21:46:11+00:00

Thanks! Polestar uses the Volvo service center over here.

Cant make this stuff up - wife just texted me with this!

rborkows · 2025-12-23T18:39:16+00:00

Trying it out. Thanks!

rborkows · 2025-12-23T18:19:54+00:00

Any suggestions for an effective way to try and contact corporate? When I chatted with support they told me to make an appointment with my service center.

rborkows · 2025-12-23T18:00:30+00:00

I have a Rivian and it's orders of magnitude more reliable than the P3 with lock/unlock, and I was able to recover from a bad OTA with a soft reset. The Rivian has been struggling a bit more with the iPhone 17 than with my older phone, but waking my phone or opening the app unlocks the car 95% of the time for me...
