My Polestar 2 Gets Performance Software Upgrade & Dyno!

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Earlier last year I got the chance to lapa Polestar 2 with experimental software upgrade. As of 1 of December, that upgrade became available to all the customers. It was time to give my own PS2 this upgrade and a test...

    In a car with no gearbox then yes, torque is what you directly feel on your back, but in a car with a gearbox you can always generate (wheel)torque with proper gearing if your engine has a lot of RPM to play with but not much torque. You can have a ton of torque but no RPMs, so in order to move at reasonable speeds you need longer gears and longer gears decrease wheel torque, which is what ultimately makes the car accelerate. So yeah, proper use of power wins races, always.

    Hi Misha, many thanks for showing this as there is a dearth of information in the upgrade so far. I'm keen to get your thoughts on the sharper throttle mapping. When test driving, it was very obvious that the mapping was very slow/wide on initial travel, then ramped up quickly making it feel a little dull. Supposedly this update sharpens that response on part throttle applications.

    Depends on what you care about. Model 3 performance version is still faster with better acceleration. Hell even the long range model 3 is still faster, with better acceleration and an extra 100 miles of range or so. So not quite sure what advantage the extra HP or torque gives you here Also I’m not sure what videos you’ve watched but most have said the model 3 has better responsiveness and handling. I test drove them and thought the same thing. Polestar weighs like half a thousand pounds more than it, not much you can do about that. Where polestar wins is in suspension and damping. It has a much smoother ride. That’s why you get the car, not for it’s faster acceleration or top speed, but for it’s smoothness and ride quality.

    @@philorgneopolotin8762 True, just happy to see Polestar catching up in other categories. Range is the biggest disadvantage, but that is to be expected for CMA platform vehicles, and the next generation model should have none of those constraints. (Primarily ICE optimized chassis which makes adding a larger battery frustratingly difficult.) However, the P2 is already winning in terms of looks, interior quality, build quality, arguably technology, and price. Although what I'm really exited for is the Polestar 3.

    I watched a couple reviews on the Lucid EV and I like the looks of this Polestar much more. Plus it cost like 1/3 as much so I'm sure Polestar will be selling well. Tesla Plaid is impressive but 0 to 60 mph in less than 3 seconds is completely unnecessary.

    0 to 100 in 3 seconds improves security and that’s why I’m looking for it in my next car. But I love my polestar. I drive 210 half of the time so it’s important to take into consideration.

    Good question, with EV's is there such a thing as 'power at the flywheel'??

    The fact that Polestar charges so much for a data file is tragic
