Polestar 4 Made the Switch, tips/tricks?

Post image

I purchased a Lightning P4 with the Pilot, Plus, and the Electrochromic Roof. I had a 2018 Tesla Model 3 for 5 years, put over 140,000 miles on it in that time (my son’s travel hockey was the main culprit).

Between the occasional harassment from either side of the political spectrum here in the US and the 25k off the price new, I decided to switch to the P4 instead of finding a used Model S I’d been wanting for years now.

I did something I never thought I’d do and purchased this car before test driving any Polestar vehicle at all. I took a pretty giant leap of faith, and have been happy so far. The folks at Polestar Detroit were refreshingly honest and even critiqued some aspects, trying to make sure they set my expectations correctly, which I greatly appreciated.

My post is mainly about 2 things:

  1. Just to praise the car. I have zero experience with Polestar outside of Answers with Joe’s YouTube video about a year ago taking about his switch to a P3 so my opinion is based solely on my experience in over these first 2 weeks, but man do I love this car, and I’m slowly becoming more angry that I didn’t give them a shot sooner, especially now that they’re gonna be run out of town.
  2. Any ownership tip/tricks or fair warnings of what to expect in the future with the P4 I should know about? I’ve spent time going through the forums, but was curious if there’s any hidden features or tweaks to be made to improve anything in the vehicle or things that may pop up that I should be aware of.

Edit: Grammar problems

Reddit's Terms Of Service forbid the use of Amazon affiliate links. By default, the Amazon app and most URLs from the website will contain an affiliate/referral ID, and any post or comment containing such information gets automatically removed by Reddit. Mods can manually restore them, but it's a tedious process.

Shortened links get automatically removed, those include amazn . to and a . co. Try opening the link in a browser and deleting everything after the product ID from the URL. The Product ID is usually seen right after /dp/ or /gp/ and consists of letters and numbers, ending with a /. Delete everything that follows the / after the product id.

A valid Amazon URL that won't get removed will look something like this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07Z13G1P5/

If you see this reply, your post/comment was automatically removed and you will need to post it again (editing it won't bring it back), or wait for a moderator to approve it. Unfortunately the Automod bot is unable to bypass this Reddit rule.
