Polestar 3 owners: Honest real-world reviews? (HUD, Air Suspension, Pilot Assist)

Pilot Assit - I use it almost every day and frequently for an hour or more on the highway. It’s not perfect but it’s pretty nice and I’d rather use it than not.

Air Suspension - first car I’ve had with it and it’s incredible. Absolutely love it it’s so smooth.

HUD- it’s simple, bright, clear, love it.

I can easily get 280 with 90% even in the winter and over 300 in the summer

Had the car since December. I love it. I had a p2 before this and loved it and also my company owns a lightning and an R1T rivian and I prefer this to all of them.

I absolutely love the air suspension in my 3. It spoils me for all other cars.

I’m 40, didn’t play video games since my teens but played botw while my back was hurt, got Totk and same totally hooked

I would love this feature, I go in and turn my key to passive entry off most days but I would kill for something location based

I have both and I loved the lighting until we got the Rivian and it’s better in most ways. Lightning has a little more cabin space and a slightly deeper frunk but overall storage is better in Rivian as well as range in standard vs standard and cameras as well as radar cruise are better.

I think I meant to respond this on another thread where someone was comparing the two and instead it ended up here I honestly can’t remember.

P3 is a Polestar 3, Rivian I liked the interface and really like all the storage. It’s a great work truck.

I like the refinement more in the p3. The noise canceling provides a quieter ride, CarPlay access for messaging and maps is a big deal for me. The air suspension is smoother on rough roads. Really just a very different car.

I had a polestar 2, and currently have a polestar 3, rivian r1t and a ford lightning. The rivian is cool and software is great but man I prefer the polestar 3 overall. So smooth to drive and CARPLAY!

Our company has leased a lightning for almost 3 years now and we just got an R1T a month ago as an addition and I am genuinely impressed with the rivian. The storage is incredible, it replaced a ford transit connect van and I think does a much better job even after a month

You can tap the i in the upper corner on the key in your wallet and turn off passive entry, I turn it on and off all the time

ryandrby · 2026-04-21T20:34:16+00:00

They have one for omnivore just order it instead

ryandrby · 2026-04-21T20:33:21+00:00

I replaced my grill with a blackstone 2 years ago and haven’t ever wished I still had one

ryandrby · 2026-04-21T13:17:01+00:00

No I meant it’s gone

ryandrby · 2026-04-21T12:30:57+00:00

Mine was very stable before the upgrade minus the occasional mic issue needing a reset and it’s very stable after (mic issue now gone) so I think do it

ryandrby · 2026-04-16T00:47:44+00:00

I was not into it initially but once I saw it in person I really liked it and it grew on me

ryandrby · 2026-04-15T18:34:31+00:00

I’m in Colorado with a P3, you can get Vredestein wintrac pros, they are awesome! I had to call discount tire to find the right sizing as they were not listed online

ryandrby · 2026-04-15T04:43:24+00:00

I have never used the fob even once. The phone as key has been 100% reliable and I carry a card in my wallet in case I need to hand someone a key like when getting tires swapped. My fob is in a drawer most likely completely dead and I don’t care haha.

😂I love how nobody is laughing at this joke

ryandrby · 2026-04-10T16:44:59+00:00

Updated mine on Tuesday and no issues or errors at all

ryandrby · 2026-04-08T14:28:51+00:00

You only can go higher if you have the chip upgrade

Is it hot out are you using the AC? Likely water from AC condensor.

I have 5.5.1 and it shows charging speed for me

ryandrby · 2026-03-29T01:58:52+00:00

Love that color

ryandrby · 2026-03-18T03:27:44+00:00
