That would be me.

I waited a while, after taking delivery, to get a feel for the car without Polestar.

I read the comments of members of this thread, both for and against, but opinions were divided.

While my car was in for it’s 3 month courtesy inspection, I decided to have Polestar added.

The upgrade is not intended, as has been noted her many times, to give a pure power boost, but the difference it made to the car was subtle, but noticeable. Everything felt tighter and more responsive, from gear changes, throttle response and general dynamics.

But here’s the thing, if I didn’t have the spare cash (£695 in my case), I probably wouldn’t have gone for it. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t regret it, but it is very expensive, and as I’ve stated here before, should be added as standard, as a drive mode, to what is an expensive motor.
