Creep is nice when you're parking in a tight parking spot. It lets you creep very slowly while your foot modulates the brake, ready to stop very quickly to keep from hitting something. Using one pedal driving can be a little trickier. If you press too hard on the accelerator pedal, it takes time to move your foot over to the brake to stop quickly. Or, you have to do left foot braking, which can be awkward for many people.

Great guide! Renting a polestar and was disoriented. This video helped to get me started!

[officialyasir]

Great job, Max! I like this style of "get to know your car" kind of video.

I liked this review. Very good tone and lots of detailed information. I have one as a rental while my Jeep is being repaired and this is the best review of this car that I've come across.

Renting one atm and this video is exactly what I was looking for. Super helpful, thank you!

Before buying a Polestar 2, rent one from Hertz. I was seriously considering the Polestar 2 until I spent a few days driving one. Great looks, great power, and great handling, but there wasn't much else going for the vehicle. I found the seats to be uncomfortable, the ride harsh, the interior noisy (road noise), and visibility was poor. The weekend rental fee was money well-spent.

Love the detail in your video Max! Have had my 23’ PS2 for 4 months now and it’s my absolute favorite car I’ve owned. Definitely love yours in the magnesium color with the performance pack! 😊

[antonymu]

thank you very much for this information. very details and easy to understand.

[tonys]

Max, thanks much for this info. I had my ‘23 P2 for seven months now, and I just learned from you how to activate the auto high beam!😂. I find Google maps and navigation outstanding in the car. I do all my charging on L2 AC at home and in town; all long distance travel is done on my ICE X1. Enjoy your new ride!

Superb, considerate video. Best of luck man!

Keep doing what you’re doing bossman great breakdown & detail .. thank you for just teaching me how to use a Polestar 2 💯💪🏽..

Max, thanks for the interesting and informative post. But since you asked for suggestions.

What really would be useful, is a full detailed review, on how you're doing your home AC charging. I look forward to seeing it.

Nice video. I secured a lease in late May. My 2024 SMLR will be delivered today.

When you said opening the front trunk is a strange procedure, then showed us a completely normal procedure for opening a hood I was laughing so hard I almost spilled my coffee.

[armanpektas]

Eleiko has such good reputation for a reason. Nothing can beat swedish steel

[barryw]

Any news on ISO 15118 Plug&Charge for this car? Is your AC charging end time accurate? My XC40 Recharge always estimated an end time based on 48 A draw. Any thoughts on getting a frunk carpet without that silly (and space consuming) divider like the ones in Europe?

[armanpektas]

Swedes sure know how to make cars. They use the best high quality swedish steel and don’t cut corners. Can’t wait for the upcoming models

[STRET]

Think you skipped right over the fog lights/button. Nice ride!

[pauloferrer]

So the higher AmPs is for fast changing mode?

[jeromehebert]

The car looks better than the model 3 imo; range is a little less, but it is what it is. right now you can find some 21s between 20k-30k range which makes it really affordable imo. however the closest service center is 320 miles away from me, ouch. So if the car needs to be services that is a negative for me especially not knowing how reliable the car is overall. Of course there are vw and tesla service centers about 60-80 miles away from me which is reasonable, but those come in at that price for older models and the newer ones being a bit more pricey.
