That’s pretty funny that they just mention the upgrades off-handily. We’re close to the reveal

Looking on the UK configurator it says SRSM and LRSM are available to order from 24th Jan (currently unavailable). New specs incoming maybe?

Design tweaks, new motors, larger batteries, better range, quicker charging, more performance, rear-wheel drive option.

New specs are available to order now on polestar.com

I must admit I'm a touch annoyed that if I'd waited another six months, I could have had a better car, but what can you do?

Interesting that the battery capacity and max charging speed for the LRDM remain unchanged for USA and Canada (etc.). I don't see any reason to replace my LE car .... yet ;-)

some of the global sites are still showing the MY23 as they are not available to order until later as per the press announcement.

So intriguing details:

• Digital key (PAK) is only available with the plus pack
• Foot sensor for trunk opening only available with plus pack.

Yes very good catch on the digital key - forcing you to purchase the plus pack for a fundamental capability on a modern car!

Rear biased AWD!! Dang that's exactly what this car needed from the start. Wonder how much better it'll be....

Maybe it'll torque steer less and handle more neutral

It's probably because of the US's certification requirements for vehicles here. A larger battery pack may well invalidate the certification that the Polestar 2 currently carries, requiring Polestar to go through the entire process of crash testing and so on again solely for the North American market. I'm sure they'll do it, but it'll likely take longer than other countries. Expect another "OTA performance upgrade" sort of timeframe LOL

But the LRSM is getting the larger battery in the US
