Does anyone have tips on how to open the glove box, when it does not open with the button on the screen?

Hi, I took delivery of my P3 on Thursday last week - my glove box works. I asked the Polestar guy what to do if doesn‘t and he said you have to press the glove box with some pressure - than it should work. So maybe the glove box in your car was never opened before and needs some force to open for the first time.

That's strange, with me the button on the screen just works. I do wish the glovebox was a lot bigger :)

I had this bug as well. Just punched and pressed the glovebox with my fist at various locations for a couple of times while pressing the release button on the screen. This made the stuck latching mechanism to work again. No issues since then anymore.

My Polestar 3 has been waiting for me to accept delivery for the past month because apparently the glove box motor is malfunctioning - they ordered a new one but Canada Post was on strike so I think they are switching out a motor from a demo vehicle.

Good to see others are having a similar issue. Wouldn't it be better if they just had a nice handle/key feature.

I've had my car for three months. Mine wasn't opening so I sat in the passenger seat, pressed the button to open it, then really quickly bashed the top left and top right side of it with my hands. Ping, it opened. Now it opens and shuts just fine. I can’t remember if I ever opened it before, so maybe this is a first one-time-only thing that needed doing.
