Well, Polestar/Volvo says that it's 10 times more powerful, so I would be surprised that anybody said it's not a significant upgrade.

 

Man, I really wish they'd make that available as a retrofit upgrade like Tesla did with the MCU in the Model S...

 

And Lucid did with the Air...

 

Join the Official Polestar Facebook group and keep asking for it! They moderate the group and maybe if enough members ask...

 

Well judging by the fact that we still don't have a dog/camp mode, I'd say unless someone higher up decides to do it, out voices doesn't make a difference. (quite a handful of post & comments about retrofit upgrade requests already in there too)

 

I predict Polestar will retrofit MCU upgrade to older vehicles as part of an actual rear camera recall fix (as opposed to software updates that are making it worse)

 

We could wish! If they’d do that, I’d buy out my lease

 

Not me! My residual is $58K.

 

Damn! And I was worried about a $34K residual!

 

I think I'm in trouble. The wife took my car for a spin to Tacoma today as I was doing some house jobs and when she came back she had a smile on her face. She told me NOT to trade in my car for a Polestar 3 as my 2 is way too much fun. We bought our car as we do too much mileage per year and I currently have 38700 miles on it and just got the 2nd inspection done at Polestar Tukwila on Monday.

 

Yeah, I drive a lot too. I had my lease contract adjusted to allow 15K miles per year. I'm approaching 29K miles. I ride my motorcycle to work a couple of days per week to help keep the miles in check.

 

I was sad to turn in my 2022 Polestar 2 after 36 months and 30k miles, but the residual was just too high at $39k. Then I saw the values to be had with the Certified Pre-Owned models and picked up a 2023 Polestar 2 with only 5500 miles for literally less than half of the sticker price. It's been the best car I've owned and the lag in the infotainment is the only criticism I have with it.

 

Maybe if they resume sales in Canada, we can import them grey market

I do the same thing driving our Bolt when I can, saving the P2 for cross country trips that really add miles.

I've been leasing forever and don't plan to stop, so I don't know what I'm going to do after my, now 2nd, P2 lease is up. But tell me more about how you got this adjusted. I'm not familiar with that.

Im going to wait and see what the lease options are for new cars in another year when my lease is up. If the end of tax credits combined with tariffs has made new cars a lot more expensive it may make my lease buy out make sense too… and if prices haven’t shot up, I’ll lease something new!

 

I have had MY26 for about a month now. Love it. It’s my first Polestar 2 though.
