I posted this question on the Polestar community official page. IMHO having only one key fob is disappointing for a car of this price.
I am very disappointed that the Polestar 4 is only supplied with one key fob and one key card. This causes major problems when 2 people equally share the car. You provide opportunity to have multiple profiles and attach the fob and card to a profile. You do not seem to have considered the following:
the functionality of the key card is limited, you cannot use tailgate foot gesture to open the tailgate, without first unlocking the car by swiping the key card at the B pillar. This negates the whole hands free convenience of the feature. You cannot approach and unlock the vehicle from the passenger side or access the tailgate with the key card until a swipe on the drivers side B pillar. You cannot access the charging flap until, you guessed it, swiping the B pillar.
my point is that you have created a two tier ownership system. I cannot think of another premium SUV that does this by only supplying one fob with full access and functionality and a limited key card. Is it cost cutting or an oversight? I would like 2 fobs with equal and full access to all features, can I have another fob please?
If the answer is going to be that using the phone as a key will solve this then why didn’t you provide this from the release of P4 and when is it coming. If that is going to be the answer then why didn’t you provide early cars with two fobs until cars could be delivered with phone as key capabilities?
