The German forum is reporting that some user can now set the timer/alarm inside the car to pre-condition. Not seen anyone mention it yet in the UK but seems like might have been via latest software on an OTA...they not sure how they have it but have! With the frost i woke up to this morning sure if available you lucky current Polestar owners can make good use of it.
Pre-air conditioning schedule

This seems to be part of the latest infotainment update 4.9.18 from Oct. 23rd/Nov.1st.
Is this not just the pre-conditioning button which auto heats the cabin to 22 degrees? Yes it does warm the cabin up for 30 minutes but the schedule and temp cannot be set any further than that...not in my car anyway?

The version I got this week supposedly enabled OTA updates. I got this when they did the recall.

With the OTA compatible software, the car is ready and can probably check... But on the Polestar end they aren't ready to start pushing updates.
I wouldn't expect to see updates being sent out with the frequency that we see new SW revisions as loaded onto cars today. Maybe 4 a year or something.

If it rolls out updates like the normal Android OS, it may take a few days for OTA to get to all compatible systems - they tend to trickle updates out to check for unexpected issues. We do a similar technique for mobile apps at my company.
Good to see this but slightly frustrating when I had mine delivered yesterday. Clearly one version behind now. Chuffed for those that have this, little things make such a big difference.
Just wondering - does that warm up the battery too?
Good evening.
I notice that the time set is when the car will be ready for departure rather than the time the heating comes on. So does this mean the time the heating will kick in is dependent on the outside temperature? Earlier if it’s brass monkeys? If so I like it!
And before someone says ‘oh Volvos have been doing that since 1987’, I’ve never owned a bloody Volvo so let me be impressed!

Yes, it should calculate and adjust the start time depending how cold it is.
This worked perfectly on my last car (not-a-Volvo) so there's no reason it shouldn't work fine on the PS2. Mind you, the speed limit detection was 100% accurate on my last two cars...

I'll 2nd this ping
do we know if/when battery preconditioning will be made available?
Guessing not this winter - hopefully in time for the next?

No. Only indirectly from any heat transferred from the cabin.

Sadly not, OTA won't be enabled until next year so you have to go to the dealer

If you have the 1st Oct or later patch then the car is already ready for OTA. However Polestar have said they will not be pushing out the first OTA update until Q1 2021.Sadly not, OTA won't be enabled until next year so you have to go to the dealer
That might take a very long time to heat up the battery…

Indeed. I wasn’t suggesting it as a solution, just aiming for clarity 🙂. The term “preconditioning“ is somewhat misleading - “cabin preheating” would be clearer.
