Only problem is my 19 year old son seems to want to borrow it more. He's a very responsible driver, but a little lead in the foot, if you know what I mean

The fun factor has definitely been dialed up!

‘It is pretty crazy. I remember driving one…and when the light was turning yellow, we floored it as we figured it was faster to blast through the orange light before it went green vs stomping on the brake pedal. I am sure a $200,000 amg would have the same feel, but this was a $50K car. Just nuts.

Updated to 2.4 as well. I just hope the next version activates the headlights feature that has been missing

I noticed the last update (2.3) turned on the auto bright feature...or was that already available and I accidentally discovered it?

So far 2.4 has been uneventful, which is a good thing. Haven't experienced any bugs yet. BTW if you have the dual motors and you don't get the performance upgrade, you are missing out!

I'm already more than half-way through my lease. I'm not going to pay for an upgrade now. If it was available when I took delivery, probably. Maybe the next car.

90 percent I'm buying out my lease in 2025, this will be perfect for the wife. BTW I don't know if you saw in the Polestar forum, I had to go on full on defense when I defended the model S and said I was buying a Model 3 next year. I thought I had accidentally posted on a coal roller forum lol! The hate is real...

Yeah, it turns out that EV owners also are subject to bias and misinformation LOL. And Brand loyalty dialed to 100....

Yeah it's great, constant updates. Aftermarket guys have had it since around 2012 especially for euro cars. TCU profile updates are the most often occurring updates

Saw my first Polestar today out in the wild traveling south on I-95 in South Carolina.
Have to say I think it looks even better in person.
