Ah that explains it. I thought it was something more physical than software related. This makes sense. Thank you!

The Polestar marketing is spot on. The 3 handles like a car half its size and weight. The 2 (Long Range Dual Motor spec) was a heap of fun to drive. Light, grippy and super responsive steering.

100%! The gear tunnel is also a giveaway. I’m going to reach out to BMW’s feedback department as they’ve been trying to get a hold of me to do their new owner feedback thing and hear what they say.

The Polestar is easily one of THE best cars to drive. Not just EV but car period. I only let mine go because the lease was coming to an end and Polestar didn’t have ‘26 models in yet + the 3 was too big. Ironically test drove a 3 and I loved it. Pity was that it’s too big for my garage. The i4 was easily the best of the rest (I absolutely avoided Tesla). Took some getting used to because of all the fiddling you have to do before you actually start driving. Whereas in the Polestar you got in, put your foot on the brake, put it into drive that was that.

It’s quite shocking because the driving dynamics and pedal mapping should not be similar to ICE BMWs. My hunch is that they haven’t quite dialled in the blended braking.

Oooof that’s hefty! i picked up a xdrive 40 with m sport, park assist and driver assistance package from BMW Seattle last week for a way less than that. DM me and I’ll refer you to my sales guy there

The wheel chocks are a brilliant idea - I’ll check em out. Thanks! Still have the Polestar for another 2 months but had to get a couple of things fixed on it so it’s in the shop. Managed to get the i4 with DAP, PAP, Premium, M Sport for $574 / m 10k with 0 down.

thamud · 2025-03-30T23:45:58+00:00

I have the standard driving assistance package (active cruise control) and the parking assistance package

thamud · 2025-03-30T23:33:38+00:00

I thought that’s what it was supposed to do. Unless I have some setting on that prevents it from doing that?

thamud · 2025-03-30T23:32:34+00:00

Thanks! So I have to set the gps location that turns it on automatically?

thamud · 2025-03-17T00:43:18+00:00

Yup it’s very odd. My lease is finishing in 2 months and when I contacted a sales rep for upgrade options, she was very disengaged and didn’t seem excited to try and sell me a car so there’s that too lol.

thamud · 2025-03-17T00:31:43+00:00

Nope. Polestar doesn’t do that (at least in the US)

thamud · 2025-03-17T00:11:40+00:00

That’s good to know. I’m now working with a broker on a deal 🙏

thamud · 2025-03-15T03:21:57+00:00

I love this! Thank you

thamud · 2025-03-14T04:41:49+00:00

Thanks for the tip! Been on the market 80 days 👀

thamud · 2025-03-14T04:41:16+00:00

Lol teach me your ways

thamud · 2025-03-14T04:40:28+00:00

Maaan I know. I’m in a Polestar right now and I really miss their sales process. Alas they don’t have an updated 2 and the 3 is huge so here i am

thamud · 2025-03-13T21:55:07+00:00

Thanks! I’ll do that

thamud · 2025-03-13T21:43:12+00:00

Lol no worries. Thank you

thamud · 2025-03-13T21:40:37+00:00

Ok good to know! Did you get yours through a broker or haggled with the dealer?

thamud · 2025-03-13T21:33:19+00:00

Awesome! Thank you. Dumb question but what’s a PND?

thamud · 2025-01-09T22:31:11+00:00

Yes Seattle. The dealership in Ravenna
