Hold the door handle and all the windows close.

Will have to test this and try the same to get the windows to all open ... is it the line on the outside of the handle you touch (like when locking the doors) or the inside of the handles (like when you want to unlock the doors)?

Its the line on the outside of the door handle. Its a great feature.

Possibly mentioned already but pressing the brake pedal to the floor holds the car in position without applying the parking brake.

It applies the "Hand Brake"

I know this stuff is in the manual, but it's cool to hear of features that are a little bit hidden and not immediately obvious

I think you might be on your own for not noticing this one!

I only ever use the sport fob and I didn't know this.

It appears the front radar has a heater element!

Yes. And it'll cost you like €350 to get it replaced. As I just found out.

Thanks for the pic. Glad to see one in function!

Just slightly more than a Michelin tyre.

And getting multiple bruises in the process 🤣

The MB we just traded in for out P*2 had the wavy-foot detector as well…. I couldn’t ever manage to get it to work reliably for me, but the missus had no bother with it.

Once, I even managed to perform a particularly energetic kick that caused my shoe laces to flip up and somehow hook onto a wire harness clip under the back, leaving me hopping on one foot. It must have looked hilarious. Had to take the shoe off then extract the lace from the nether regions of the car.

By contrast, I find the one on the P*2 to be pretty good.

The small white horizontal line at the top of the display. If it turns orange you have a system notification.

I really liked the little plastic strip on the windscreen which you can use to display parking tickets. Its just a shame that its been over 5 years since every council changed to organising your parking via an app.

Going in the opposite direction to this thread I have a request for info. How do you turn of the outside lights if you are just sitting in the car after coming to a stop? Only way I have found is to use the remote to lock the car but otherwise I just turn the left stalk lights dial down but that leave various lights still on outside.

I open the door a little and close it again to turn off the lights when sitting in the car.

If theres a better way, I would love to hear it.

 

[chazglenn3]

Which lights?

 

[Allister]

headlights. Mine are on all the time.

 

[petergdownload]

I don't know the answer to this one but I wonder how many do. Does the Polestar allow you to drive off with the bowser still plugged in?

I tried that and found it didn't work until I hit the PARK button. Which tripped me over another tip which is normally you never need to actually hit the PARK button. Just bring the car to a stop and open the door. PARK will be engaged. And of course you never need to release the brake to drive off )

I’ll guess the speel chocker turned ‘charger’ into ‘bowser’…and no, it won’t move with the cable connected.

I guess this is regional. In the UK I still often need to display a ticket, and I also use it fairly often for parking passes for car shows or festivals. I find it really useful and don't even notice it when there's nothing in it.

No need to get a new hook. Just push it back in. The hook has an overload-protected quick-release.

Just did the same and was all bummed until I took a closer look and realised it was designed to separate. That's definitely a very cool design detail that speaks well of the engineers involved.
