Hi folks. I am very close to pulling the trigger on ordering the Polestar 2. In researching the owners experiences so far I see issues regarding 4g connectivity and signal dropouts causing bad experiences with the software - issues like not reconnecting and having to reboot to regain signal. Cell signal at my house is fairly weak and my phone will toggle between 3 and 4g if the 4g signal is particularly weak at a given time. My cellphone handles this very efficiently. Switches to Wifi at my house for Data and makes best use of what's available in the area, as i drive down the hill from my house I also loose all signal for about 500 yards and then when I get closer to town connects again. I'd expect the car OS to handle this as efficiently as Android on my phone - this seemingly is not the case - but to what extent?
So leaving my house goes like this. Wifi at house - as I leave driveway connects to 4g - about 30 seconds later as I drive down the road no connectivity - 30 seconds later back to a reasonable 4g signal strength.
In reading peoples experiences - It sounds like some users have to reboot if 4g signal is lost - and sometimes cannot reconnect. How bad is this issue? What should I expect right now? Would living in an area with weak cell signal significantly impact my experience with this car? To be clear - I don't expect to have services available that rely on cell signal when the signal is not there. I'm just curious - If I loose signal for 30 seconds every-time I drive down the road from my house - how common / severe is this re-connectivity issue?
Also if anyone would happen to have a link to a thread or article that explains this issue in a concise manner that would be fantastic. It's difficult to gauge from what's out there as to the severity of this issue and how common an occurrence it is.
Thanks for your time and consideration.
