Has anything changed with the Orin processor upgrade timeline now that Polestar is leaving the US? 2025 Polestar 3, Bay Area, CA, USA

I have been patiently waiting for the service department at Volvo Palo Alto (the service location for the now defunct Polestar San Jose) to contact me to make an appointment to upgrade my processor to the Orin chip. I haven't had any recent major issues (had two GHCA failures in 6 months, most recently replaced in January 2026 and is so far ok). The backup camera fails upon startup about 40-50% of the time lately, which is annoying but not the end of the world. I did receive the Gemini upgrade, which seems so far to be a net positive. In other words, mostly things are functional. Just wondering if I should have any expectation that my processor will even get upgraded at all at this point, much less in a reasonable time frame before my lease is up in September 2027. If not, well, I guess I can live with the car as is, effectively with no further OTAs. Anyone else in the Bay Area with a not-yet-upgraded Polestar 3 have any insight?
