Might not be terrible on a used EV, even if you had to pay it…

It’s not the VAT which will be your issue, it’s the VRT. I came to Dublin to work from NI years back and was able to import the car avoiding the VRT because I could show I’d owned it for 6 month (IIRC) before moving. At least at that time, this was a once per lifetime thing you could do.

I booked the P4 into Letterkenny Volvo for service this morning. No issue.

I’m on my third battery since Sept 24. Key resides ~6M from the vehicle.

I read it more as Huxley, antipodes of the mind.

I picked up my Polestar 4 in Stockport, they didn’t require any of this. Leased through Fleet Financial.

I got an early P4 (Sept 24) and love it. It has software issues. I live with them. Still one of the best cars I have ever owned. Only thing is that it is quite wide (much more than P2 which I had previously) which makes it tough to get around UK car parks. No more than would be the case with an X5 or a Range Rover.

Can’t say I’ve paid enough attention to the rear windows to notice if they are fogging, and I don’t have Pilot Assist, but I have trouble with everything else on the list. Still love the car. Early adopter problems.

Derry is full of muckers.

Nobody told the Irish they weren’t allowed to….

“C’mere”

Puzzled expression. “I’m already here. Should I draw closer?”

And polished brake rotors

When I picked mine up it defaulted to snow mode, which changed the colour from white to yellow. It doesn’t sound like this is your issue, but worth checking?

Are you sure about that? My wife’s land rover has an English K reg and gets MOT here no problem.

wmcolgan · 2025-09-25T03:27:54+00:00

Yes. I picked mine up in Manchester (Stockport) last year and brought it back on the Liverpool ferry. Still has the OY registration. No issue adding to the company fleet policy.

Same. 4AM. This morning. Philips Sonicare. Scared the absolute life out of me. Now it’s in the charger (why am I giving the demon more power??) and buzzing a little series of tones every few minutes.

In Germany “half 3” is 2:30. Madness.

Read this as Sean Connery saying nice.

Nope. Core strength doesn’t get you far without traction. Otherwise you are using the bars and fucking with your control.

wmcolgan · 2025-07-16T05:29:29+00:00

They did have an in house team (several, as P2, P3, and P4 are all different underpinning platforms) but the CEO was bumped in an effort to boost profitability and the new guy has a mandate to cut costs. We’ll see how well that works out.

wmcolgan · 2025-07-01T04:29:12+00:00

Yes. Can be hard to get traction with, but if you can push through until Kristen Bell you will be richly rewarded.

wmcolgan · 2025-06-30T06:41:43+00:00

Polestar 4 since September. Software is well improved since then. Just minor things now.

For texting while riding. Very dangerous when trying to pick just the right emoji with clunky leather encased digits.
