I have a MY18 s90 D4 and i don't have Adblue or does it apply to other models/engines?

I have an S90 D5 registered in May 18 and it does not have adblue. Is this right.

Only you can know that. If it doesn’t have adblue, then it just doesn’t have it. There are pros and cons either way.

I doubt an electronic technical reason exists.
Likely an engine longevity and mechanical stress reason.

Remember: the more safety margin you eat in to, the less safety margin you have, the closer to The Big Bang Moment you get

Thats a shame but it makes sense, I guess the T6/T8 petrol engine is already highly strained as it is and the normal Polestar probably tweaks that even further.
