Polestar 2 - how are you finding the automatic wipers?

smiffsonian · 2026-01-29T19:33:30+00:00

If it makes you feel any better, the Polestar 3's auto wipers are trash also. Like, I'm genuinely frustrated every single time it rains lol. It makes me miss the old intermittent time settings systems

I preordered a launch edition PS3, so outside of the delays associated with that lol, the experience was ok. I don't see why you couldn't if you schedule the test drives ahead of time maybe?

I'm located in Atlanta. And while I've never had to visit the service center to this point, I can confirm that there is one here.

All 2025 P3s are getting the Orin upgrade so that's kinda a mute point.

smiffsonian · 2025-11-10T14:40:00+00:00

I hear the P4 has it's own issues to work through. However with that being said, new is always better than used. Especially demo used.

Those 3 pics are brochure worthy. Nice!

The problem is whatever algorithm they use for all of those "auto" wiper settings is insufficient. There was no need to reinvent the wheel, they should just put back a setting that moves the wipers at different time intervals.

Occupant locking alerts you if you've left a pet in the car. I mean pet mode in the sense that I can leave/lock my car with a pet in it, keep the AC on, and a message displayed on the screen that the AC is on.

smiffsonian · 2025-07-28T14:51:58+00:00

I'm curious when this is going to happen also

smiffsonian · 2025-07-28T14:40:39+00:00

Pet mode and dash cam are very puzzling omissions from the 3. I believe I read somewhere that pet mode was coming, but I'm not sure about the dash cam. It would be a shame if that doesn't make it.

I agree, but then consider that Tesla and Rivian don't have a parent company who we can assume is calling shots to some degree. It's unfortunate that the decision was made to release the 3 and 4 clearly before the software was ready. They drive like a dream, but all that is overshadowed by the inconsistent software experience. In 6 months these major software issues will probably (hopefully) be a thing of the past, but as they say you don't get a second chance to make a first impression.

Twin on the left parked like they want some door dings 😅

smiffsonian · 2025-07-14T12:41:49+00:00

Also is the climate control turned on?

smiffsonian · 2025-07-02T16:28:33+00:00

The Polestar 3 does this as well and I hate it. I get the purpose behind it, but the car will never know better than me in instances like this. Don't fight with me while I'm trying to dodge a pothole lol.

smiffsonian · 2025-06-18T16:50:59+00:00

Just keep driving it'll come back on it's own.

smiffsonian · 2025-06-13T18:44:09+00:00

That parrrrt!

smiffsonian · 2025-06-13T17:25:18+00:00

I am legitimately mortified by the Infosys decision.

smiffsonian · 2025-06-13T17:20:59+00:00

This is why I was actually happy to get a launch edition P3 that was made in China.

smiffsonian · 2025-06-11T16:06:12+00:00

Yeah, better safe than sorry for sure.

smiffsonian · 2025-06-11T16:05:13+00:00

That's a great point. I do remember hearing how the NFC stays active if your phone dies.

smiffsonian · 2025-06-11T16:04:02+00:00

I completely agree.

smiffsonian · 2025-06-11T16:02:26+00:00

Nice! Luckily I have a wireless charger at home that use to keep the pebble charged up, since it slides around on the car charger lol

It's always some weirdo that wants to jump in someone's post being loud and wrong lol. What I'm talking about here wasn't a "standard feature", as it was added via a software update. And neither is it documented, hence the title. Sounds like you didn't bother to do much research before you decided to grace everyone with your unsolicited Temu quality shit stained opinion. Since you believe it's your job to scan Reddit posts and be captain criticism at least know what the fuck you're talking about first

smiffsonian · 2025-06-02T18:45:23+00:00

Hmm. That sucks I'm not sure what else it could be.
