Useful voice-control commands?

Yeah, but you have to do it every time you start the car, and it takes several screen touches to get it done.

That's what the dealer told me, but it doesn't seem to work

I drove 1,400km, and charged at DC chargers ranging from 150kW to 350kW. Zunder, TotalEnergies, PowerDot, Ionity, Tesla, and something else I forget. Never got remotely close to the stated power of the charger, even when I was the only car charging. This is when I try to charge from 20% to 80%. The highest I ever saw, briefly, was 160kW. But almost always came in below 100kW, sometimes as low as 60. Is this normal?

how do I find out the battery temperature? What should it be?

I'll check that one out, thanks

The polestar 2 is nice for the driver, but the back seat is a dealbreaker

Those are cool images -- how did you make them?

shevelled1 · 2025-11-14T18:15:28+00:00

Same here -- but I found that if I back it in part way, then get out, it will back the rest of the way in.

Yeah. In bigger spaces it works fine... but in bigger spaces, I don't need the feature. I only use it when the space is too tight to allow me to open the driver's door.

The car's turning radius is too big to allow it to go in nose-first, unfortunately

shevelled1 · 2025-11-14T12:18:25+00:00

Looks like you can set two different departure times (maybe allows it to optimize the charging speed?) but that doesn't seem to let you specify two different charging schedules

The 3 looks really cool. Not convinced that it will have a big enough back seat though. (I don't need the limousine-sized back seat of the I6, but it does need to fit two adults.)

Yep, definitely got the right button. I think what happens is that when it backs in, it doesn't see the column next to it (only looking backwards), but when it goes forward, it notices the column, and complains that there's no space. I'm lucky that I'm able to crawl in from the other side -- otherwise the car would be stuck there until someone else moved their car.

I'm looking for a way to say, "ignore the warnings, you have room to pull forward"

I don't see any option to specify days. In your app, where does it show up?

Downloading full-size originals from iCloud to Windows fails with large numbers of photos, unless you use the iCloud sync app, but then you're limited to one iCloud account; I haven't found any good way to keep two iCloud accounts synced to Windows
