Sorry but that is important enough for me to point out.

I use OPD low, have done since I got the car, prefer the less invasive nature, behaves more like an ICE which is my preferred behaviour. OPD standard just feels wrong to me.

Thanks! Updated!

Perfect!! Remember to please cast your vote! thanks for letting others know!! Appreciate the feedback!

 

The 'One Pedal Drive' feature is getting useless after 2.9 update

It hasn't changed for me since, I think, P2.2 when they adjusted the OPD ramp up when canceling cruise control.

It's absolutely not getting useless, not for everyone at least.

Interesting! I will contact the support on my city to ask about this, also, you are as well on v2.9?
Remember to please vote for your preferred profile! Thanks!

 

I have dual motor long range.

 

Overall the whole systems sucks.
It's a joke car. It makes me laugh every day, how poor this car is beyond me. If it was 1980 it would be fairly good but it's 2023.

The only good thing about this car is the windscreen washer.

Can you please recommend me a car that surpasses it in every single aspect?

 

Is this thread two trolls trying to out-troll each other?

 

It seems so! This is the weirdest community I have ever been. As a community we have a chance to put the word out there to introduce improvements and make the car better, even when voting... and, yeah, the thread just speak for itself.

 

We just bought our 2023 P2 with Performance, Pilot, Plus+ on Sunday and I love using the OPD. I have hardly touched the brakes and have 400 miles on the car already. I have OPD set to max. V2.9 was installed before we collected the car.

 

and I love using the OPD. I have hardly touched the brakes

I am in love with the OPD too!!! I wish I could tweak it to what it was before this current version, it was so much better!
So after my experiences it feels bizarre that people did not felt any difference at all when upgrading it, so I am not actually sure if they probably be using the 'Low Profile' instead.

 

Have you given any consideration to an issue with the "throttle" pedal position sensing? A flat (dead zone) may cause the issues you describe.

 

Is there anyone at all that has actually done a quantifiable measurement of OPD performance before and after that has actually measured a difference?

I’ve only ever had 2.7. I measured my OPD stopping time, between 7.0 and 7.9 seconds going from 60km/h to 0. (Times varied depending on exact start speed and the final stop at zero was a bit fuzzy). This is with one person in the car on a flat road.

I’ll be remeasuring after 2.9 is installed and report back. In the meantime I’ll try to get more measurements.

 

Yep. I measured distance to standstill using low and standard settings from 40, 60 & 80 kph with 2.4 then an hour later after upgrading to 2.7. All were unchanged. Will repeat once 2.9 hits our locale.

I'd maybe believe you now have to lift your foot a little further to get maximum retardation but if you do it's very subtle and the maximum level of retardation is unchanged.

 

V2.4 was the best IMHO, loved it!.......it worked just fine, no idea why they have tinkered with it, but it is not a true OPD now like it was with v2.4 or earlier. Its now OPD with brake

 

I could not be feeling more sympathetic to your words, this is the exact description of where I stand, v2.4 was excellent but now that they have been tinkering with it I want a piece of that too, now I want to be able to control how my car applies my own personal prefered strength of regenerative braking in the OPD, they opened the door and now it won't shut.

 

Sorry, not Trolling....
I've noticed no appreciative difference in the OPD and I drive around 150-180 miles per day. I did use the brake pedal yesterday but that was probably me approaching a traffic light a bit too fast? It seems to accelerate and decelerate as it did the week before the update.

 

Or the changes were made from a normal customer base opinion, and not from an enthusiast forum user opinion? I think Polestar have a set of average joe's out there driving around and leaving feedback. Do I assume correct that attached curves are what you think/feel is changed? If so, a "normal" user might feel they get better control if the OPD works like a brake pedal? The more you lift (or push in the "old" way), the harder it will brake? Or I misunderstand you. I got the car on 2.8, and been driving with 2.9 for a week now, and haven't noticed a change, and I only use standard OPD. But only had the car for 3 weeks prior to 2.9.

 

If so, a "normal" user might feel they get better control if the OPD works like a brake pedal? The more you lift (or push in the "old" way), the harder it will brake?

The thing I am experiencing is that now I can lift the pedal entirely, not just a bit, entirely and it feels more like you entered into neutral in an ice and then! it starts braking, and that is in the Standard the harder setting we got, in the old way I could fine control how much I wanted to lift the pedal, now I have to lifted entirely and start going for the brake because I don't know if the distance in front of me is enough for the regenerative brake amount being applied. So the convex curve you posted may seem the reason for this behavior.

I mean, if they would have done in the Low profile great! Because is a good learning curve for people transitioning from ICEs to OPD, but they didn't needed to mess with the hardest profile to do that.

 

I've not noticed any change since around P2.2, and as I've mentioned before, I travel down a steep hill every single day on ACC where there's a roundabout at the bottom where it's essential to come to a complete stop. I would -really- notice if there was some difference - and really did notice that one time they made a big change.

So it's either confirmation bias where people are convincing themselves that something has changed each time. Or maybe different cars have different hardware and have been affected in different ways by the software updates.

For me, I can categorically state that I have not noticed any change at all since this time last year.

 

To be honest, with 'not noticed any change' missing from the poll, it renders it virtually useless anyway.

It instantly biases the results towards those who believe there's been a change....

 

I think I will start a new thread to sound out interest in a device that interfaces between the physical pedal position sensor and the car electronics in order to custom remap the reported angle versus the actual angle.
I will start a LLC to make it if I could get 400 customers willing to pay $399.95 USD (plus shipping).

 

The 'One Pedal Drive' feature is getting useless after 2.9 update, moreover it has gotten way too soft on this update specifically, even though I personally wrote Polestar about the first change they made on this lane when they change it from the good, reliable and stiff on 2.4 to softer 2.7, just like there was no 'Low Profile'. The 2.7 version had a softer regenerative brake even in the 'Standard Profile', which is the strongest value possible to setup for it that is user faced.

In the first 24hs after using software update v2.9 I had to slam the brakes twice on that day or else I would have crashed into the car in front because of this chabge.

Which begs the questions:

1. What is the point of having a 'One Pedal Drive' feature if you have to use 2 pedals? None.
2. Are we safer with this change? No, we need more distance and space in front of us to fully brake.
3. What happened with driver's muscle memory after getting an update that changes the way we have adapted to learn? Muscle memory is useless now.

Let's review how this setting would it be in a world where drivers could actually customize their driving preferences:

Bottom left corner, in case it went unnoticed.

Adding a poll to get attention on what are drivers preferences on this regard.
Also, do you guys use the Low profile?

In my case I actually would prefer a value in-between 2.4 and 2.7 but the UI does not provide a way to let me set my preferred customized driving style for that matter.
Unrelated but since the feature is on the same screen and I have also stated the question to the Support Team: What is the purpose of a Creep function without 'auto braking'? No response yet.

Just a quick note to say that since my OTA update to 2.9 there has been no change in OPD in my SRSM. Braking is still good with about 50mtrs from 40mph to stop. In fact it is good to know that this OPD function has stayed constant throughout my last year of OTA updates From 2.4 onwards.

Creep was used when I first transitioned from an Automatic XC90 to my PS2. I’ve discarded it and don’t use it anymore but it was a useful feature making me feel comfortable when taking my foot off the brake and having it move forward.

Same here, maybe it's only the other variants that have been affected? or maybe a small but loud crowd?
I am still on the low settings from the winter, and never used creep.

This is the weirdest community I have ever been. As a community we have a chance to put the word out there to introduce improvements and make the car better

Maybe because this is a non issue for most of us, and very few people makes a big fuss out of it from analyzing the (maybe non existent) change to conspiracy theories.

 

interesting, I guess I should look in menus deeper after updates. I didn't know this changed, I just have it to the default and i'm on 2.7. Didn't notice any changes from 2.4 when it updated.

 

There should be an option entitled, "I have not noticed changes between versions".

 

I have my OPD set to low and have not noticed any difference from 2.7 to 2.9.

I can't really speak to the standard setting since I prefer to use the brake pedal when coming to a stop. This is so I don't forget to use my brake pedal when driving my ICE car.

That scenario makes total sense when owning different types of vehicles, I am glad the low profile is accomplishing that as I truly think that is one of the intended uses for it.

 

Ok y’all, I’m still on 2.0 because of all these reported issues, and alleged changes. I don’t want my OPD to change. Make fun of me or look down on it if you want but my car works the way I want.

What I’m thinking though, is I still have the possibility to video these changes if it gets polestar to admit any mistake or change.

 

just throwing in my 2 cents.... i normally drive with OPD on low and haven't felt much of a difference going from 2.3 -> 2.4 -> 2.7 ->2.9

 

I think most people having the concerns are standard users, and that it was weakened.

 

Use OPD in standard. Haven't noticed a change between 2.7 and 2.9. Definitely noticed the slower ramp with 2.7.

 

1.8 missing option. Initial response was softened way back then.

 

No problem, I just added to the poll, I was not there on 1.8. So go ahead and cast your preferred mode!

 

Ok so there’s a definite difference between 2.6 and now (2.9)… happened with 2.7 but can’t feel any difference 2.7 to 2.9….But it is still proper one pedal driving… some EVs you have regenerative but need the final touch on the brakes… I’m used to it now and still sharper than the wife’s IONIQ 5 set to the most aggressive of its 50 or so combo modes.. it’s fine and I think they changed it because it was too sensitive to even slightly moving your foot on the accelerator before.

 

I preferred the older more agressive Regen.

Low feels nothing like any ICE I previously drove, unless I put them in neutral, then they did.

 

So in neutral with no engine braking, you think that’s the same as OPD low? Comical. Low decelerates slightly quicker than an ICE with manual box

 

I might be dating myself but is this any different than daily driving a corvette manual back in the day - getting used to the downshifting and then jumping in a BMW 2002tii which is a completely different car that has different gearing. You do adapt and get used to it. Yea the P2 OPD may have changed but is it so completely different that you can’t relearn the new pattern?
Also I did notice a softness after the 2.8 update but all it took was some aggressive driving full regen on and off the pedal and either it recalibrated or my brain figured it out but all was back to normal.
