Fresh off the car receiving Polestar’s software upgrade, we launched the performance timing app and immediately recorded a 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) time of 4.4 seconds. This time was easily repeatable on good surfaces and even as the battery percentage dropped to single digits, the Polestar 2 didn’t slow down at all and would still consistently hit that 4.4 second mark. We also recorded 4.3 second sprints to 100 km/h on a couple of occasions.”

That is interesting, and impressive, that power doesn’t trail off as SOC drops.

You won't see power drop off until you start getting below 10 percent. On the Polestar forum, one member got down to 5 percent before it started to reduce power. I suspect they reserve more battery than the claim, which is 77 kWh out of the 78 kWh battery
