I disagree with you here. We never use the "proper key" , but always the small activity key.
And if I could, I would replace the last one with another "sports key", as we would call it her in Denmark.

 

Battery is not user replaceable without voiding the warranty so the key is effectively disposable.

 

Mine does have the pockets, but I've got the nappa leather seats.

 

My 2022 also did not come with them (I think the nets were Plus-pack only back then).

I bought a "Carhartt Universal Nylon Duck Seat Back Organizer" and it fits just right, stays flush, and has just enough pockets and such. Not sure if you can get that one there. If I bought it again would go for the grey (gravel) one.

 

That's unfortunate, these are useful. I also noticed a top tether on the front passenger seat. I don't recall noticing one on my LE!

 

I've got them on my old MY23 as well (waiting to be sold).

For reference, my new MY26 has both pilot and plus with the new microtech seats.

 

This is wild. I had no idea they came without the nets.
Another poster noted that they had Nappa leather, so that could be it. I have the poverty interior trim with no leather, but have nets on the seat backs.

 

And to think, the P2 has so little interior storage as it is, how much did they save by taking out these nets? They probably wholesale for about $1, so maybe they took $10 off the MSRP??

 

No kidding. I'm still at a loss on the massive amount of lost space behind the dash and the center tunnel.
If I could convert those small pockets in the center tunnel to something with a tilting drawer, like the glovebox, it would be so much more manageable.
Coming from a Volkswagen, the two things I honestly miss most are the storage compartment in front of the driver's left knee (left hand drive / North American models), and headrest that slides out/forward.

 

Polestar support confirmed that the net pockets only come with nappa leather from MY26.

 

Maybe they are trying to sell more leather interiors 😂

 

Price v Cost.
What is the price of seat back storage nets?
What is the cost to clients spending premium class car dollars and being rankled by no seat back storage nets.
It’s not like the car has an excess of cabin storage.
Stoopid choice.

 

Even our Bolt has 1 seat back pocket.

 

Just get the seat backs with netting as spare parts, easy to replace. Only 2 screws.

 

Got a link/part no.?

 

Link to?

The parts can be bought from any Volvo dealer. The netting pockets are the same in XC40 and PS2. Volvo part. 31467338

€€€ I thought you had a cheaper source. Part No. is fine as well, makes it easy to research.

 

Curiously, how much are they from Volvo?

 

about 100-120 EUR

 

rsp 100 EUR, cost is about 20 eur with logistics and such.
A saving for Polestar in the region of 40-50 eur per sold car, good for their bottomline.
And they save on only needing 1 main SKU for the seat backs.

Volvo have been doing the same for years, they remove things one by one...

For a cheap car that customers have a hard time affording this makes sense. But who's not buying a $50k+ Polestar if the price goes up 200?

 

Has nothing to do with people not purchasing the car at price +200.
The price of the car (next MY) will go up, and if the manufacturer can lower the production costs at the same time - while keeping most of the customers happy - profit!

Most of the customers will neither know or care about the missing netpockets.
But if they activly want them, there are the most premium seats with pockets.

People that understand that the pockets are gone can skip the car, or source the pockets from ebay etc.

 

Well, if someone skips the car then that's definitely profit lost. But if they increase the price of the car to account for the pockets then no one is likely to skip the car, the extra cost is unlikely to deter anyone from buying, and no profit is lost.

 

That assumes that there are very limited number of potential buyers.
Have a great day!

 

Agreed
