From my experience, as a complete package I have found it to be very good. From a BHP standpoint a re-map would give more gains, and be a lot friendlier on the wallet, but that is not the question. Polestar Optimisation interacts with so many of the vehicles powertrain systems. The increased torque is always welcome and the transmission shift points do take away the indecision you sometimes get when the box can’t decide what gear to take. Throttle response is sharper in all drive modes, you still get the stop/start function in comfort mode however, all the different drive modes still retain their original functions. Dynamic Mode is re-named as Polestar Engineered, once you select this you get the full experience.
Driving away from the dealership after I had my car optimised it was immediately obvious things had changed, the car was a lot friskier, and that was still in the comfort setting.
