Just got my 2027 Polestar 2 LRDM — any tips & tricks?

Hello everyone!

I just picked up my 2027 Polestar 2 Long Range Dual Motor and so far I absolutely love the car! Everything from the way it drives to the interior and overall feel has been great.

Since I’m new to the Polestar world, I was wondering if you guys have any tips, tricks, hidden features or things I should know now that I’m starting to live with the car.

Anything you wish you knew when you first got your Polestar? Things I should change in the settings, features that are easy to miss, charging/battery tips, useful apps, or just general advice for getting the most out of the car?

I’d especially love to hear from other 2027 owners, but tips from anyone with experience are very welcome!

What are some of your favourite features or little things about the Polestar 2 that you think every new owner should know?

Thanks! 🙌

Getting the app to show the interior temperature, not exterior?

I assume this is not possible?

I was on the app yesterday and it said 20c. I was surprised but thought "lovely, I don't need to pre-cool the car".

I got in and the internal temperature was 29c. Obviously the app is telling me the outside temperature. Presumably just pulling data from the internet based on the cars location.

But I don't care about the outside temperature as much as the inside. I want to know if I need to cool/heat the cabin. Or maybe think the car is going to heat/cool bit it actually does the opposite because I can't see if the car is less than or more than 22c.

Whyyyyyyyy Polestar, whyyy!

PS2 LRSM - Internal Air-circulation automatically switches to outside

I have a LRSM PS2 2023

Since i live in dubai, uae. having external air in the cabin is a bad idea however the aircondition itself switches off the internal air circulation and changes it into external air and then i have to change it to cabin air again manually myself.

Is there a permanent fix around this? P.s i dont use auto mode and i keep Eco mode off.

Would you suggest one

So I have a Nissan Leaf SLl+ that is in the process of a buyback from Nissan.

I have been looking at the polestar 2, I know about the launch edition issues but from what I understand they have been corrected with warranty and software updates.

So what is maybe something that isn't widely known that you people in the community could tell me that would either make me stay away from a polestar 2, or make me really want one.

Sorry if this has been asked before

Help replacing left outer taillight on 2023 Polestar 2

Has anyone replaced the left outer/body-mounted taillight on a 2023 Polestar 2 themselves?

I’ve already bought a replacement unit and want to DIY it. The LEDs on my original still work, but the outer lens is smashed.

I’ve removed the plastic push clip beside the light, but I’m not sure what needs to come off next and don’t want to start prying panels unnecessarily.

Does anyone have:

- A step-by-step removal procedure

- Photos/video of the process

- The Polestar/VIDA workshop instructions

- Info on which trim panels/bolts need to be removed and what tools are needed

Car is an Australian MY23 Polestar 2 Long Range Dual Motor.

Any guidance from someone who has actually removed this specific outer taillight would be appreciated.

Strongly considering buying a polestar 2 MY27.

They have a pretty decent campaign going on in Norway for the MY27. Prime-package for free, winter tyres included and 1,99% interest rate for 3 years.

My only worry is that I will like the new redesigned gen 2 better than the current design.

I really like how the ps2 currently looks. I know the new design share the headlight design with ps4. Which I’m not really a fan of.

Only 2 weeks left of the campaign, so I need to decide fast.

Mobile Detail Job on Polestar 2

Just got this beautiful mobile detail but saw that I could not remedy tree sap that had cracked/damaged the paint from the last owner. It is hard to notice unless you are really close up (ex opening doors). Nice looking car when it's all cleaned up though! Just wanted to share.

Wheel covers

Hi

Might be a stupid question, but I don't like the wheels on my polestar, keep seeing aero caps for polestars but I don't see how they would fit if possible, question is, is it possible.

Thanks

Titanium activity/sports key

Hi all, I have had a couple of polestars now and both times the sports key has died on me. This lead me to the DIY repairs etc but all of them are 3D printed and require soldering the battery directly. I have some experience with titanium laser cutting so gave it a go and have managed to create quite a nice housing. I have used TPU so it is splashproof, but more importantly I put a battery holder in so when it dies again its a quick change rather than having to solder again.

It was pretty straightforward so any competent person can do it and I have made an Etsy listing if you're keen for the set here

However if you would prefer a rebuild service I have also included that as an option too (based in UK)

Wheel damage before lease end

Please see photos. These are pics of one wheel (other wheels are fine). What would you recommend before my end of lease inspection in 2 days. Any idea on what this will cost me with polestar?

Used Polestar 2 Quandary

Would it make sense to buy a used 2022-2023 Polestar 2 in this current situation? With Polestar pulling out of the US market I’m worried about how I would get it serviced or undergo routine maintenance. I also plan on driving between Seattle and Spokane semi-frequently so would it make sense as a road trip vehicle? I’ve been eyeing up this car for a few years now and always wanted one but I’m just not sure if it’s the right choice with how I’d plan on using it… I just want a cool, muscly looking EV sedan 😭

Dashboard is red and says Error

I was charging.

Oh, I unplugged and it went away.

-- So, that's just a charging error? And it could be the car or the charger?

Polestar, please just let me choose the precondition temperature I want

It's in the API, so it's presumably a simple OTA update.

Lots of comments on here saying 22c is just great. Sure it is most of the time. But there are plenty of situations where I'd prefer a different temperature.

  1. Playing sport in the heat, maybe I want it cooler

  2. I just want to defrost and take the chill out of it, I don't need 22c. Maybe I'm only going a mile or two anyway.

  3. Maybe I'm coming in from the cold outside and have lots of layers I don't want to faff about taking off and 22c would be too hot. Or the other way, I'm going somewhere in the cold so want to wear my coat in the car for when I get out.

  4. Maybe it's hot out but the cars parked in a cool spot so the heaters come on instead of cooling.

The reasons don't really matter, just give us some choice.

This will most likely be unpopular, but has anyone riced out their P2 with a stupid big wing?

This is fully AI generated. But has anyone put a big wing on their P2? I honestly do not hate it. Coming from the peak fast and furious generation, and having the P2 be way faster than anything ICE for the price, it just seems kind of appropriate.

Thoughts?

Speedometer font

Does this spacing bother anyone else? I just see eleven-one Eleventy-One every time...

Also for the record, it was a 110, not 80. Polestar reader fail...

EDIT: No this isn't the worst thing, but I couldn't not share. TNUM FTW. If you know what this means, we're vibing.

Polestar app for the Macbook

I stumbled upon this mac app for polestar owners, "Polaris", in a danish polestar facebook group, thought it would be worth sharing. I've been using it for a couple of days. neat little menu bar app.

Odd smell from fans

Hi everyone,

I bought my Polestar 2 a couple of months ago (second hand, early 2023 LRSM model). I've been loving it so far, but one issue I have noticed is that when I initially get in and the fans come on, there is a bit of a musty/sour smell that comes through until the AC kicks in, then it is fine.

It isn't a smell that is present in the car without the fans on, and does clear up quite quickly once AC kicks in (within a minute or two). I have also replaced the cabin air filter but that doesn't seem to have changed anything.

Has anyone experienced the same and know how to get rid of it?
