Are we giving a numerical value?

Wow! I remember MY21 had issues but I didn't know they had that many. My MY22 had issues but nothing like that. Isn't there a saying like, "look at the past to predict the future"? Or something like that.

I don't know but I still feel MY23 onward is the sweet spot for a Polestar 2. It may be a bit more but your getting more.

 

Can you elaborate more on why MY23 is a sweet spot? Do you mean there were changes to improve reliability or just timing of age of the car in 2025. My understanding is there aren't many differences between MY21 , MY22 or MY23.

 

Haha, oh, I don't know, I guess a yes or no? Sounds like you are saying no. I have thought of a 2023, though I may need to wait longer since I would like to stay under $30k. I would probably prefer a non performance if given a choice between two similar cars since it seems like so many people complain about the ride quality.

 

the pp cars ride better/softer then the ordinary ones!

 

I was just going to say that! Especially after you get the dampers dialed in to your liking. My PPP rides great!

 

I concur with this. My 2023 PPP rides awesome once you dial in the Ohlins. Currently, I am at #16 front and back for my daily work commute.

 

I like my P2 2022 PPP Napa but would never purchase it again. I purchased it used for $40k in 2023 with 10,000 miles and thought it was a great value. I looked into trading it for a P3 and polestar was offering me $20k. I have had next no issues and nothing replaced, only the same software/tcam all owner have to endure. My biggest problem with the car is cramped cabin and terrible range. Real world you are looking at 150 miles highway in US and 40 min charge times making road trips painful. For around town it’s pretty solid but there are better cars for this too.

 

That’s crazy how much the new cars are different! I hopped in my 2024 yesterday and drove 185 miles (mostly NYS Thruway, at the high end of traffic flow) and used less than 50% of the battery. 150 miles at freeway speeds where I was the one doing the passing, the rest 45mph or lower local roads. Overall efficiency of 23 kWh/100 mi. Therefore I’d recommend OP waiting for a 2024 if you want trip range!

 

Another piece of info I have is the battery SoH is reported to be 94% +/- 3% Does that sound good?

 

Sounds great to me! My car has 29K miles on it and I have no idea what the battery SoH is. I know that at 90% charge it shows 230 miles of range like it always has...

 

I would skip this purchase and agree waiting on a 2024. To me that is the sweet spot. Basically no issues over all for the majority of people even on here. Single motor 320 miles plus. 24kwh /100 efficiency is pretty great.

That one too me just way too many repairs. How many more repairs will it need going forward. Something doesn't add up to me.

Good luck.

 

I didn't think there was a MY2026 in the USA...

 

I wonder what vehicle number in the production line your vehicle is. I've heard that many of the cv axle issue shad to do with the grease used. Apparently they used the wrong grease and it become liquid like in consistency after a few thousand miles. Maybe after a few thousand vehicles built they corrected the issue.

For the performance edition with ohlins strut problems I've heard that has to do with the bushings being worn out, a quick replacing of the bushings solves the issue.

I'm crossing my fingers. I also have the 2021 p*2 launch edition. Got it at 45k miles for about 23500 out the door cash(tax and everything )with known cracked front camera,leaking windshield fluid which I repaired my self. The leaking windshield wiper fluid has to do with the quick connect they use to connect two tubes together instead of a spring lock type they use with other manufacturers.

The car has been good with your typical infotainment needing reboot about once a month. Other wise it drives well.

 

That car eats tires.

I would pass.

 

That could be down the driver…
