Polestar does not effect comfort mode
Just been told by a dealer that Polestar only effects Polestar mode and has no effect on comfort and eco mode. Not happy with this and glad I paid nowhere near the proper price if this is true.

Hi. I agree with you, that it never worth the full price. Under £500 is fine, but anything above is waste of money.
I am interested if anyone can give me an answer whether the actual Polestar software is ever updated or it stays the same as it is as the moment when is installed |

While I don't know for certain (and honestly wouldn't be surprised if a dealer would know much detail), after I had Polestar installed in both my S90 (and V40), it had an effect in comfort mode.

I paid full price and only discovered this after the event.
I never use Polestar as its far too brutal. Tried it coming fast off a light and it held gear at redline for about 10 seconds. I would have changed much sooner and it cannot be good for engine at all. Sounds like it is screaming!

Had mine installed about 8 months ago and when I collected the car I noticed that there was no indication that Polestar had been installed, so queried it and they said it had definitely been installed. Anyway I insisted it was looked at as I remember Polestar appearing on the central display and driver display on a car I test drove, so they took it back in. I was right, they had to install the latest software and then Polestar came up on the dash. So if you have an older variant like mine then it needs the latest software.
It certainly helps the gearbox speed which is my biggest gripe but the holding gear is frankly cr4p. Rarely use it because of this.

I have just had my local dealer phone back and confirm to me that the Polestar does effect all modes and that the salesman at their other dealership does not know what he is talking about.

I thought this was the case. I definitely saw an improvement on my last car across all modes.
