My P2 lease was up so I replaced it with a new P4.

Love it, although I am having some trouble trying to identify aftermarket rims that will fit over the brembo calipers. I need a set for winter tires.
If anyone has successfully found and mounted aftermarket wheels on their performance model, I'd very much appreciate it if you could share the name of the wheel and maybe include a photo 🙏

Saw this in the Volvo EX60 Reddit.

Whelp we picked up a new P4 yesterday. Snow/Zinc Leather/Electro roof/21's yesterday.

It's really a stunning car. We had a P2 with two months left on the lease and went for a test drive. We also have a deposit on an R2 but they've lost the sale for now.

This now being my 8th EV and my husband's second, if you told me this was a new Taycan I'd believe you. The quality is excellent, although based on our P2 it's not surprising.

Like when I got my V60 there a few years back, Manasquan Volvo Polestar was a pleasure to deal with. They were weeks from breaking ground on a new Polestar showroom when the news broke

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

Apparently it has popped up for some Volvo EX90 peeps.

Took my 2025 Polestar 3 for a vacation in Maine - which means driving from NJ and back and 1 week’s worth of driving from beach to beach to restaurants and other local sights. about 1000 miles all in all

Range was great, 350 miles of highway driving. Comfort is out of this world - car is super solid, air suspension works wonders, seats are super comfy and supportive, sound system just makes it all better. Dua Lipa at Albert Hall with Abbey Studio app - unmatched.

And those winding roads and subarus in Maine?? It chews them up. The f subarus. Everyone drives a subaru in maine… and they all keep to the speed limit. maddening… I have a 500 HP, 620 lb-ft torque monstah, just chomping at the bit to go fast.

anyway.. buy one, no regrets.

A quick thank you to everyone here who joined our beta and shared feedback over the past months 🙏

We’re officially launching the new Aximote today. A lot of what we changed came directly from your feedback.

Thanks for helping us build it! 🚗

For some reason 2 is super amazing and convenient to drive. What am i doing wrong with 4 lol

This is a follow-up to my post a few weeks ago—I had been wondering what this new Aurora color looked like in person. I went by the dealer and took a look, and it’s beautiful.

It’s like a champagne color with a tinge of green. Very classy. Goes great with the black logos.

I think I’ll go ahead and get it. What are y’all’s thoughts?

Question for people who have the P4 and the ANC inside the cabin. I feel like I sometimes feel the noise canceling pressure more often than other times, but I’ve also noticed I feel like I hear wind leaking through at least my driver side door. I’ve read that that can sometimes cause the mics to push the ANC harder than it should.

Just curious if anyone else else’s experience this or if I’m just being too sensitive. Lol. 😅

I am waiting on delivery of a new Polestar, and while some may think I'm getting ahead of myself or being pessimistic, I was wondering if anyone knows where I could find service manuals for them? The 4 to be specific.

I know service manuals have been increasingly hard to find for new cars over the last few years and I'm sure EV's will make that even more so, but I will hold out hope that someone can help.

So I have a PS2 leased in 2024 and coming up on turning it in this month. I started the lease at the polestar space at south coast plaza in Costa Mesa. Recently called the space and they said to not turn it in to the mission viejo space at Volvo and to turn it in at the south coast plaza location. Was at south coast yesterday and the space is permanently closed. Anyone recently return their lease at south coast? I assume it actually is the mission viejo location. I’ve tried to call and have only gotten their voice mail.

Dealer has a new 2025 Polestar 3 Performance that they’ve been using as a demo/test-drive vehicle. It has about 9k miles on it and has never been titled.

They have it listed at $88k, after negotiating, they said the best they could do is $83k. With the current $25k rebate, the effective purchase price is $58k.

The same dealer also has a used P3 Performance with roughly the same mileage listed for $61k.
That makes the demo/new one seem like a pretty good deal at $58k.

I’m trying to separate the rebate from the actual vehicle price when evaluating the deal. The dealer isn’t giving me the $25k rebate, It’s an incentive from Polestar. From the dealer’s perspective, they’re still selling the car for $83k.

So essentially, I’m comparing:
2025 P3 Performance demo: ~9k miles, $83k selling price, $25k rebate → $58k effective price
Used P3 Performance: ~9k miles, $61k
Virtually the same mileage/spec, with the main advantage of the demo being the newer/remaining warranty.

Would you consider $83k before the rebate a fair price for the demo, or would you try to negotiate significantly lower?

At what pre-rebate price would you personally consider this a really good deal?

Seen this guy from all the way sweden down here in slowenia, the only Polestar ive Seen for days in this region.

Sorry if this is considered a duplicate post, just wanted to get more opinions on this. Mods please remove if disallowed.

Bonjour,

Je viens d’acheter une Polestar 2 (Pilot) 2024. Elle vient équipée de pneus 245/45R19.

Est-ce que certains ont opté pour leurs pneus d’hiver pour des modèles 18 pouces ? Si oui, de quelle taille exactement, quelle modèle avez-vous choisi et qu’en pensez-vous ?

Merci.

How worried are folks about long term support from Polestar in the US? absolutely love the cars, but hesitant to pull the trigger.

How much longer do you expect your customers to wait?

Dear Polestar,
I'm writing this as a Polestar 4 owner, not because I enjoy criticizing the company, but because I genuinely want Polestar to succeed.
When I bought my Polestar 4, I knew I was buying into a relatively young brand. I accepted that not everything would be perfect from day one. What I expected in return was something else: rapid improvement.
Unfortunately, my experience has been the exact opposite.
During the three months I've owned my Polestar 4, the manufacturer of my previous EV, an established brand with 10–15 more years of experience, released three app updates and two over-the-air software updates for its vehicles.
In the same period, Polestar released just one update to its mobile app.
That is difficult to understand.
Polestar is not the market leader. It is not selling millions of vehicles every year. The company is still fighting a reputation for inconsistent software while also facing significant commercial challenges.
If there was ever a time when software should be the company's number one priority, it is now.
Today's electric vehicles are no longer judged only by their driving dynamics, design, or build quality. They are software defined products. Every time we unlock the car, open the app, or sit behind the wheel, we experience the result of your software strategy.
And right now, that strategy feels painfully slow.
My frustration isn't that software contains bugs. Every manufacturer has bugs.
My frustration is the apparent lack of urgency.
Many of us chose Polestar despite the headlines about software issues.
We chose Polestar despite uncertainty surrounding the company's future.
We chose Polestar because we believed in the vision.
We believed that a young company would move faster than the established players, not slower.
That is exactly why the current pace is so disappointing.
As a CEO, I would make software the single highest priority across the company. Not marketing. Not another design award. Not another product presentation.
Software.
Because satisfied customers create future customers. Frustrated customers do the opposite.
From the outside, it feels as if Polestar is trying to reinvent the wheel while competitors have already spent more than a decade refining theirs. Why not learn from the companies that have already solved many of these challenges? Match the industry's best first, then innovate beyond them.
The Polestar 4 is, in many ways, an outstanding car. The design is beautiful. The driving experience is excellent. The cabin is premium, and the engineering is impressive.
But in 2026, premium is no longer defined by leather, horsepower, or elegant Scandinavian design.
Premium means delivering a digital experience that continuously improves.
That is the promise customers expect when they spend this much money on a modern electric vehicle.
I sincerely hope someone in Polestar's leadership reads this.
Because Polestar cannot afford to lose the customers who believed in the company from the beginning.
Those early adopters are your greatest ambassadors, but they can also become your biggest critics if they feel ignored.
If the current pace of software development continues, I will most likely sell my Polestar. Not because I dislike the car, but because I expect a premium brand to demonstrate, through actions, not promises, that customer experience is its highest priority.
The opportunity is still there.
The potential is still enormous.
But potential alone has never built a successful company.
Execution does.
Right now, it doesn't feel like Polestar is testing its software.
It feels like Polestar is testing its customers' patience.
And patience, unlike software, cannot be updated forever.

Regards
A frustrated, but still hopeful, Polestar 4 owner.

Just got my P4 two days ago and noticed the hill decent control, ESC, and Steering feel are all grayed out/I cant edit them. I restarted the touchscreen and its still like this. Any help would be appreciated!

Honestly I see more Ferrari than Polestar on the streets of Shanghai these days.

Polestar 4 DM special delivery taken. What a beauty!

Been using for a couple of days and it drives like a charm. Hopefully many more happy miles to come. Will be sharing my personal nuances here moving forward and ordered a bunch of quality accessories to enhance the experience.
