Come out here. I will pay you $5000 if you win. I am tired of this and I know your car is slower to 60 and the 1/4 and yet you keep insisting it's the best thing ever. I get it. You went from a V6 to something with power for the first time and it's amazing you a lot. But a high 12s car is not a fast street car these days. FACTORY to factory spec your car still loses, against a tuned car you are more than a full second behind in the 1/4 and .5 to 60
I will settle for this, post a video of you doing a 0-60 and then a 0-100. I'll do the same. Lets both show it here and see what car hits those marks faster. I'll make the video today in 90* weather at standard operating temp with a passenger in the car as well as the spare and all normal items.

They are decent but that's slow for what it costs to buy one and behind tesla by a lot, I was really expecting to see high 11s considering that's the top model when Teslas midrange car does 11.5

No, I didn't post any of this for you. I can care less about you, in fact, I don't even think about you. I posted this for those who own the Polestar on this forum, and those who own EV's and are interested. You're the one who jumped in saying how slow those numbers. There's more to life than who has the fastest car or the fastest quarter mile
The car's plenty fast for me. My previous Volvo S90 T8 did 0-60 in 4.5 sec (Car and Driver, matching the 540i---3847 lbs) not bad for such a big car(4579 lbs)
My Polestar 2 (4650 lbs), per Car and Driver, does 0-60 in 4.1 sec. Most people don't need more than that. But with the power upgrade you can shave off .3 sec. I'm happy
. That's really all that matters in the end, right?

I did install P2.2 two days ago. I have not experienced any problems. It’s nice to have Apple CarPlay finally.
As far as boost in range, I’ve read that others have seen an extra 10 miles displayed. I’ll have to see if it’s true. I haven’t done any longer distance driving in the last couple of days.

Right now it's only offered in the European market as a software upgrade for 2020 and 2022 models, and will be offered in North America soon for a rumored $1000. For the 2023 models it now comes automatically with the performance pack which is $5000 and comes with Brembo brakes, Ohlin suspension, 20" tires and rims among other things including racing seat belt and better adjustable seats. I've probably missed a few things

yes you did, right after Striker, who you know has an A8, posted that the polestar 2 was slow. specifically:
why would you choose the a8 to compare to if not because striker has one?
glad it makes you feel better.
this is disingenuous at best. you posted it specifically because Striker has an a8.
striker said it was slow without comparing to his a8. you took the bait, and responded.
so let's keep this thread about the polestar, and no more cheap shots at striker's a8.

The back seats just suck for any trips more than an hour so leaning towards moving on to something else when my lease is up, either P3 SUV or one of the Korean twins
