The only way is to use a car cover...

 

There's a reason we don't use car covers here in Sweden, it will stick to the car in cold weather and can damage the paint because you are trapping dirt and water under it. There are "foldable car ports", they usually seems to be more of a joke but maybe there are better ones.

 

It's not the frost that makes my car dirty in winter, it's the general drizzle that kicks up fine (and dirty) spray off the road and the P2 design seems to make it all accumulate on the rear, to the extent that the number plate was invisible a few days into the last wet spell of weather. I've found that the best solution to this is to just not care

 

Just not care is the only way to deal with this messy weather ...

For that reason I keep a rag and a spray bottle with water to wipe number plate and lens rear camera ... Got stopped once for unreadable number plate and wasn't allowed to continue until I cleaned the number plate ...

 

Agreed. I'm aware it's illegal to have the number plate obscured by dirt, though thankfully I've never been stopped for it (so far!). I do clean it, and the rear camera, about once a week when the weather is really bad so I'm not totally irresponsible but I really can't be bothered to give the whole car awash every week just to watch the dirt accumulate again the following week, depending on how bad the weather is of course. It'll get a good spring clean sometime in April/May and then roll on summer!

 

I've found that living in Los Angeles is an effective way to prevent frost buildup.

 

They grit if the temperature even threatens to get anywhere near freezing. I often find I have less traction due to volume of grit on the surface than I would have had due to weather conditions. The grit also sticks to absolutely everything in the damp conditions.

 

The autoroutes here in Switzerland are treated regularly and I see what the car looks like from driving in that. I don’t think gritters are leaving rubbish, fast food packaging, bits of tyre and rusting bits of metal. That’s what I saw in April, June, August and September at least.

I drove along our autoroute this morning, there’s simply no rubbish.

It’s quite sad when you arrive in the UK to see the the state of the roads really. Cars do get really dirty in the winter but it really would help if the roads were cleaner all year around.

 

I don't think there's going to be any practical way to prevent frost on a non-garaged vehicle. Just like the other effects of weather throughout the year, that's just the price to be paid for having it outside year-round.

 

Avoid frost?

 

You win...if possible, I also want to have such weather once a year, I actually quite like snow. I'm living in Shanghai, this place just doesn't snow at all in winter.

 

Try it once at least. I hate the snow., I'm not a winter person. We just had a week of roads being closed due to weather, so I'll be happy when it's all gone.

To keep it Polestar related, the car handles mostly great in the snow. I have noticed on full regen brakes that if I suddenly let off the accelerator, the rear end lifts and the car gets a little floaty at the rear. On low regen, that doesn't happen

I love winter and snow, as long as someone is clearing the roads and my driveway
