Well they delivered my Tesla 3 Dual Motor at my residence with no interaction from me. Email notification only so went out tried to figure how to open car with phone only, key card was in vehicle. Fail, fail, got it! Took about 10 minutes and don't know what I did to get it open. Pheww! Took it for 60 mile toot around the area and now understand what some of the excitement surrounding these vehicles is all about. It's so easy to drive! Who wouldn't want to drive a car like this. My inspection reveled nothing amiss, in fact, the paint looks much better than I had anticipated. They also gave a three month use of FSD as a preview plus a year of free supercharging. I beginning to think this changeover to EV may happen faster than projected. I believe volume manufacturing is going to be the big issue. The desire for these cars is going to go ballistic as word spreads. I've been making snide remarks about Tesla for over a year regarding quality issues but when push comes to shove, an ICE vehicle, even a Mercedes, is like going backwards in time. The Tesla just seemed such a logical choice. Now it going to be kinda hilarious if I can't find something to gripe about on my new car. I'll try but I'm pretty much hooked already. Best of luck with your channel but my info seeking regarding Polestar now comes to a close.
12:11 what happens if you just tap the word Albums? When I use YTMusic to search The Beatles (from my home in East Grinstead a few miles from you!) I also get those same 3 albums, but the word "Albums" has an arrow to the right to expand to show all albums... just wondering.
I will get my Polestar 2 this week. I have only Apple devices and am looking forward to Apple CarPlay in 2021. There’s quite a few apps available for it including Waze, Podcasts, Messages etc. I also must say I’m impressed with this pretty new car OS. I did a test drive a few weeks back and the voice assistant worked really well so I’m looking forward to using this. Only downside for me is I’m not big on Google services.
now that I look again I dont seem to have any of those big short cut buttons like the one with the gaspump to find a charging station nearby or shortcut controls for the playing of audio ?
You mention in a couple of your videos that the parking preconditioning warms the batteries. My impression is that the preconditioning only affects the climate inside the car. With a couple of degrees below zero here in Sweden my regenerative indictor always indicate that it will not use regenerative breaking at all when taking off, regardless of whether I've preconditioned the car for 30-45 mins or not. After some driving regenerative breaking gradually becomes more and more active as the batteries warm up. Same if I want to charge on speed-chargers.. I need to push the car a bit before to make sure the batteries are warm to get above 10-20kW, and again, preconditioning doesn't seem to affect this at all.
Think you should do a video on all of the voice controls. As a whole family in the car we use those for almost everything with music, volume, phone, temperature, seat and wheel heating, even ask Google to be an interpreter to teach the kids some new languages etc on longer journeys.
App developers don't need cars to develop apps, they can access dummy data and dummy sensors, what they don't like ir to re-write code and obey to rules that don't make sense. For instance , why don't Google let all the apps available, and keep the automotive category for apps that can run with the car in drive mode, why other apps can't work with the car parked? One thing is missing, some people talk about the small screen,it's graphics and info!
I assume the lack of Albums on TH-cam music is down to them not owning the rights to many albums? Does the radio app rely on streaming? I have heard the Polestar does not have an actual dab radio installed which would cause me an issue. The other issue which puts me off the Polestar is no ability to play music stacks from a USB stick? I have a lot of music tracks and more than I can a sensible store on my phone. I also visit rural areas a lot so I do not stream music Thank you for a very interesting and useful series of videos
Thanks for watching! Yes I think it streams from the Internet for dab. When I went to a drive in cinema in October all polestar cars had the audio badly out of sync. We were told that was due to the way the system worked but other cars with Dab were fine. I think it must have been as a result of the dab audio coming via the 4g sim.
If you want the albums then go into albums and look for Beatles. You went into generic so it gives you some samples. The download stuff is automatic depending on how you set everything. It's to have your favorites playlists in memory in case you don't have any network.
That’s what I want to know, I’ve an xc60 on order with the Google OS. It seems a massive misstep, missing a key google maps feature on the launch of Googles car OS, even Audi has Google satellite view in their in-house system. I currently use CarPlay in my S90 to use Google maps and I always use the sat view, it’s so useful especially on unfamiliar journeys!
I can recommend the libby app giving you access to talking books from your local library. This keeps in sinc with your listening at home. The best news is ITS FREE! You just need a pin from your library.
I am interested in leasing the car... The problem is that I am new to leasing. Is it better to go to polestar for the lease or just a matter of looking into various leasing companies and see what they offer. I am sorry for the unrelated question to the subject of the video.
Great videos - very informative. About to order my PS2, so have appreciated the content. Wanted to know if there was an app or a way of accessing WhatsApp and email (Google mail) via the infotainment system. I work from my car a lot and it would be great to access from the car. I can’t find any videos out there looking at this.
For youtube music, can you not go in the screen where music plays to the 3 dots in the lower right and have the option to "Go to artist" like innthe phone app?

Is there a Statelite View on google maps?

22:15 maybe if you press Google it listens, but if you press the arrow > it goes to the next page?

Thanks for insight! For how long will the parking heater run, before turning off on its own?

Is there a way to display the navigation you have on your phone to the car screen??? Please help
Love this... maybe in 5 years I will be able to afford a used one.
Is the Android version of the Apple Music App available for installation on the Polestar 2?
It isn't at the moment unfortunately. I imagine it's being developed though.

Interesting I found in the Ioniq setting the sound to all car rather than driver improved the sound
I can recommend the libby app giving you access to talking books from your local library. This keeps in sinc with your listening at home. The best news is ITS FREE! You just need a pin from your library.
Very useful. Can you play music from an external SD card or USB stick?
AFAIK the USB C ports are just for charging not media playback.
In the Google settings - if you tap 7 times on the 'build number' - does that put you into developer mode ?
No it will say that developer mode is not allowed in the car.
I am interested in leasing the car... The problem is that I am new to leasing. Is it better to go to polestar for the lease or just a matter of looking into various leasing companies and see what they offer. I am sorry for the unrelated question to the subject of the video.
polestar have partnered with ALD Automotive. I have used them before and would recommend as easy to deal with and fair 👍
Can you login with your Google account so everything synchronises between all your devices? (phone, Google Home, browser, maps,...)
I know that there is no audible warning for speed cameras, but can you tell me if they are visible on google maps?
Does Google Maps support dark theme?
How to set up Android auto app via cable? 🤔
What about CUSTOM WAYPOINTS in Google Maps?! If I want to type a waypoint I can't!! I can only voice-search! Also I can't rearrange them!
Great videos - very informative. About to order my PS2, so have appreciated the content.

I work from my car a lot and it would be great to access from the car.
I can’t find any videos out there looking at this.
My user manual doesn't work either.
oh ps2 has tidal built in... this is nice
can you show us how to use voice for texting and receiving messages? cool content!
For youtube music, can you not go in the screen where music plays to the 3 dots in the lower right and have the option to "Go to artist" like innthe phone app?
What's the name of your coffee shop? Going to rock up with P*2 Snow later today if you're open! 😊
Nice! It's called Bond St Coffee, 15 Bond St, bn11rd but unfortunately we are closed today. Back open for takeaway from tomorrow though
@@ShortCircuitPS2 ah, that's a pity. Will have to make do with fish n chips at the Worthing sea front then. Next time!
I can’t get the radio to work unless I ask Google first
Is there an actual web browser?
Nope.
Small typo in your title: Andoird.
Beautiftul system...
Kina car, Kina phone should work great.
Really good videos BUT PLEASE STOP as its making my wait for delivery in February seem so far away!
Haha
I would like to see more videos to get even more existing about my coming up polestar 2
