The Polestar has this bug where the mobile data connection craps out. There's an additional restart sequence you can do to restart that but they say it'll be fixed with firmware 1.9 which is supposedly coming out within the next few weeks!
For anyone interested: to restart the mobile data connection you first reboot the main display like Bjorn has shown here by holding the "home" area for a long time. Then once that is freshly rebooted you hold the front window defrost button pressed for 30 seconds nonstop and then let go - you won't get any feedback at all that you've held it for long enough. From here it takes 1-3 minutes during which the SOS button will turn on and off and flash and then the icon that's currently displaying the x will eventually go through some startup sequence and the connection should come back on.
To be super honest. They claimed to have it fixed with P2124, P1.7 and P1.8. They had quite some improvement but still there are issues like in the video. P1.8 had a major change of the TCAM software. That module software was blocked by Polestar before the release. But with P1.8 there seem to be GPS failures more frequent. It tells a story they have two „workarounds“ implemented to reset the device. Besides that a great car.
@@yeti78 Yeah it's disappointing for sure. I hope it'll really be fixed with FW 1.9. There's also apparently a problem where the TCAM module didn't get updated correctly for people who updated their cars up to 1.8 via over-the-air. Going to the dealership and having them update seems to fix it but maybe 1.9 will fix that part also.
@@hachre just to back this up. I had an issue with phone pairing and had to get my TCAM module firmware updated at a dealership at start of Jan. Since then the pairing has been good and the connection via the car SIM has been much more reliable. Only needed to reset once infotainment once since (which takes a few seconds).
I updated mine to P1.8 OTA in December, worked fine for maybe 8 - 10 days. Then I lost internet connection and some other stuff like limiting SOC during charging did not work correctly. It did not help to restart the infotainment, and it did not respond to keeping the defrost key pressed. Just like Björn showed in the video. Took it to the dealership, they first tested the resets like I did with the same result. After that they connected it to their diagnostic computer and updated the car to P1.8.1. It's worked perfectly since then, not a single connection problem :-)
30 seconds is ridiculous for a restart. should be like 5-10
loving this new geilo format, these past couple of episodes have been great
me too mate
Love your videos Bjørn! Doing Oslo-Geilo many many times every year and it never gets old that rv 7 :D
Just read that you can reset the TCAM by first reseting the screen. And when it goes black you hold the defrost button.
Power upgrade is not just above 70% SOC. It's above 40%
However between 40-70% SOC the extra power scales down based on the SOC. Above 70% its 100% of the boost, while at 40% its closer to 50% of the power boost.
Bjorn, are you going to test BYD Tang some day? They are officially sold in Norway. And it would be very interesting to see your test and opinion.
Nice job Bjorn. I would love to see you testing the Polestar 2 LR Single Motor! Thinking of buying it, or tesla m3 :)
Just had the TCAM issue with my ‘22 at just 165 miles on the clock. Reset methods didn’t work. Dealer did a reset (I assume full battery and. 12V disconnect) and also updated the software to 1.8.2 which supposedly is a dealer only interim upgrade. So far, I haven’t had an issue. App is now working flawlessly too. Fingers crossed!
Last week, -32°C here and my 39kWh Soul was at 35%... Turtle mode was ON.
I'm speechless of Bjorn's dedication and commitment!!! So many useful tips and knowledge in this video it's actually worth pausing and admiring. Thank you, mister EV!?! 👏 👏
The TCAM reset is shown with the SOS-button flashing a few times. I have had it work a few times but then not getting it to work another time.
Been looking forward to this polestar POWER!!!!
arrh awersome, love a coffee and chilling to one of your video's
7:40 if it is in "auto" high beam for me it seems to dip when (it thinks) it senses street lights.
However I think you know that so maybe you were saying manual high beam wasn't working?
Given the license plate number and the headlight washers this car is probably a «launch edition» without heatpump. Also resetting the infotainment and immidiately after reset the TCAM usually does the trick getting back 4G/LTE/internet connection.
I test drove a one of these last weekend at the Denver, Colorado store. Had the same connectivity issue and the guy showing me the car didn’t remember to do the reset before I went on my drive. 30 minute drive where the maps didn’t work was not the best way to show off a car that costs $65,000 USD. I was otherwise impressed but it was the first EV I have ever driven so I have no baseline for comparison.
A shame that they’re so expensive in U.S. For 65k i will assume you can get something better over there 😂. For 65k here in Norway you’ll get an Audi A4.
If just the defrost hold doesn't work then you need to do a infotainment reset then straight after that finishes hold down the defrost until the SOS light (above) flashes. However, others have had issues with TCAM module that mean even that doesn't work.
I got my TCAM hard reset and the firmware updated at dealer in early Jan and only had internet issues once since which was solved in a few seconds with a reset. The 1.8 OTA update sadly hadn't fixed the TCAM issues I had with pairing my phone. Internet worked most of the time for me before dealer fix and 99% since.
Shame it ruined part of your test. TCAM does seem a weakness with this car along with the related issue of app connection via the cloud being hit and miss. Luckily it is a blast to drive.
would be nice to see the charger work with preheating one of the more recent updates to the software.
Hi Björn, I am going to Norway for the first time next week for a winter holiday. Which charging card or app can you recommend to me? I want it as a backup to the Supercharger. So that I can also charge in the city or on excursions.
Some chargepoint chargers have a similar system to that to help with cable maneuverability 26:00
This is true and pretty nice.... o_o/....
6:15 that trucker is awesome.
and if I saw correct, Bjørn did the hazard "Thank you" like you are supposed to 🙂
I did a "Danke Schön".
Looks like the charging speed drops for a moment when you leave the car. Would be great if you can check the charger a little bit longer,
I had the same issue while test driving the polestar 2 in germany. It never got any internet connection sadly - and it was in the middle of stuttgart.
Hey
Why are you not charging at the new chargingstation from Eviny at Geilo? ☺️ all 200kW and soon 360 kW 🙌🙌
Polestar2 is nice. But shouldn't seat heat only activate when seat is occupied!? You could drive around with seat heat without seeing it?
Do you think the software performance upgrade is worth it?
Interesting video, super annoying with losing Internet. But why Bjorn did you not share internet with your phone to the car and did the pre-heating test properly?
It didn't work. The car couldn't find the hotspot at all. Tried several times.
The little bar chart above the tortoise looks like about 30% of the power was greyed out. Some of that will be the power upgrade unavailable but the rest is probably the cold current limit. I do like these overnight Geilo kebab runs to simulate trip travel. Good job Bjorn. Can you join a hotspot off your phone to bypass the SIM card trouble?
Nope, it didn't work.
The TCAM module is doing everything connectivity related. So also no WIFi, no SoS call, no LTE and sometimes even no GPS. And you wouldn’t think but the charging current in center display can not be changed anymore (but thats no biggy just keep it on 32A all the time).
Hey Bjørn, from one dad to another, buy a norwegian BeSafe rearward facing child seat and test that in the cars you borrow, also try to fit a babywagon, youll be surprised how many cars are completely useless when trying to drive around kids in them,…
There should be an option for manual preheating. Example, charging offline, or charging at a friends house.
You could restart the connection module, with holding defrost button.
He tried it at 28:00 , but didn't work.. a quick google tells me that you should apparently reset the infotainment system before (i.e. reset infotainment, then directly do the defrost TCAM reset).
Reset infotainment before trying the TCAM..in fact this 2 step is the new complete TCAM.
How much difference is the consumption with/without heat pump on these cars?
Hi Bjorn. Since a week i have huge problems to have my Samsung S8 phone with the my tesla scan connect to the OBDLink LX Bluetooth - Professional OBD-II Scan Tool. It simply does not connect even after unplugging the OBD and plugging in again. ANY advise? thanks
Anyone knows what the PS 2 range is in 2022?
the single motor
longrange
and dual motor?
So many TCAM (connectivity module) issues with Volvo/Polestar these days...
It's tortoise mod not turtle mod lol! Interesting video Bjorn.
Nice trip!👍 Thanks.
unfortunately, Polestar has removed the standard headlight flusher on model year 2022/23😡 not soo clever..
What about a factory fitted dash cam? Any sign of this happening ??
The car needs be over 70% SoC?? really tempted by this car but I’m usually between 80 and 30%
Been scouring through your video's but I am unable to find the answer I am looking for :(
Can you please give me an idea of what range I can expect on a Polestar dual-range running at a constant 120km/h in -10c Thank You.
Could you do a battery degradation test on polestar 2 Gen 1? :D
I'm in belgium and we have a polestar 2 but sadly we can't pay for the update because of laws here... But i mean 408 hp is already plenty enough, but 476 hp instead would be pretty nice still. Also I believe there's an trick to restart the services for internet and all that I believe you've got to hold the button on the center console for x seconds or something.
Laws??cant fossil cars tune the engines either?Here in Norway its no problem to upgrade it.Just have to send a application to the tax department.And we must show the car for inspection at tje vehicle departmen
27:03 Like a Ninja😂
17:30, it is a very quick turtle!
*tortoise
@@bjornnyland , you are right, tortoise is more correct as long as you not are in the water.
But in general everyone says "turtle mode" when talking about EV's.
Bjørn Nyland - "Always Go Deep!", 2022.
I thought you were gonna hit a car at 5:44 🤣
Yeah me too. I actually flinched! 😯 A square shadow looked like a vehicle for a brief second.
see u got stuck behind a trailer over sollihøgda...its typical for that route. When driving to norefjell i ALWAYS end up behind some slowmoving truck/trailer :(
Or a slow Toyota.
@@bjornnyland #Toyotabump...hehe
what's concerning is that it is end of Jan. early Feb. and not much snow on the ground, in Norway!!
Don't worry, it's been snowing a lot in Asker, Bærum and Oslo for the last coupe of days.
would be very interesting if you could test a Polestar 2 with 18 inch SAX rims and Winrun 225/55/18 tires from MegaHjul. the same size on all 4 tires. Measure the sound level and better comfort? please🙏👍 maby in spring.
polestar looks nice
TCAM (sharkfin antenna) is faulty, it is leaking water, common problem in XC40 and P2. Both cars have been recalled for TCAM replacement.
I think you’re supposed to hold the play/pause button. Not the demister to reboot the modules.
I already tried that and it didn't work.
@@bjornnyland Ah okay. I am thinking of getting one. I’ve seen so many videos about the polestar now and it seems that it still has loads of bugs with the data connection even though it’s been out for almost 2 years now. Someone mentioned that update 1.9 should fix it. We shall see.
Love your video Bjørn, very interesting :)
Teste MG Marvel R , Cupra Born , Mach E GT , Porsche Taycan GTS.
It’s a shame that otherwise a very good car, the experience is spoiled by silly TCAM module performance. So many experience the same problem, sometimes even the whole car gets bricked. Too bad…. This TCAM module is a Volvo part apparently so Volvo cars have the same nagging issues with connectivity.
Maybe you can't be charging while resetting
Love the headlights. The Tesla Model 3 2021+ has similar lighting tech but for some reason it's not enabled. The auto high beam, in general, is also particularly unreliable on Tesla.
Great job Polestar in comparison.
If you’re in US it’s not legal yet
Wonder why… if matrix light work like in P2 its security benefit for everybody.
Thank for this video. I would like to see the same test with the Model 3 lfp. Hopefully you'll do it soon :-).

When resetting the infotainment system you're supposed to hold down the play/pause button (middle nob with volume adjuster) for 20 sec if I remember correctly. When I've had any problems with internet connection or sound that solves it :)
No, it's the demister button. TCAM Reset: Press and hold the front demister button until the SOS/Connect lights by the map lights go out. Not sure if you can do it while charging though.
@@timopenttila9104 My bad then, didn't hear him say TCAM reset
Whatever you are or are not supposed to do this is a ridiculously bad bug to be affecting a car at this price point!
I was wondering what is going to happen when you press this abrp charging info. On Android phone it shows more information like battery temperature and some other stuff.
If you really need internet in the Polestar and it doesn't want to connect you can actually use your phone and share wifi to the car. Not the perfect solution but it's still better than no internet. :)
It didn't work. The car couldn't find my hotspot.
@@bjornnyland Oh, I think you have to set it to only 2.4gHz. I had that problem at my home. fixed it by letting my guest network use 2.4gHz. (a bit embarrassing for Polestar not to support 5gHz.)
If you have a bluetooth connection to your phone you can allow internett over bluetooth.
Hvor får jeg kjøpt sånn varmekamera som du har til telefonen?
hold down the defrost button for about 40sec.
likely you cannot reboot while charging so the front defroster reboot sequence doe snot work during charging
Is the color of car Magnesium or Thunder?
Pretty sure it's magnesium.
Does the Norwegian language actually use all of the German words?
I think cars should have charge ports on both the right side and the right side
Or in the middle of the rear bumper. Compromise.
On ICE it was a great to have it on the driver side as way to tell that you're still connected to the pump or didn't close the cap. You can't drive away easily while still charging with an EV.
4:31...LOL. The truckers and Swedes will take an issue....
Dont get turtelmode in my polestar at 20%...must have been a cold thing
Can second that. Never had it above 8% not even with -22°C over days
I can’t believe Polestar still hasn’t fixed those connectivity issues. Maybe it will come together with CarPlay.
Papa Bjørn, playing! 🍼😃
This is a non heat pump version right? MY22 do not have the headlight-washers anymore...
The heat pump is indeed optional. And yes, the headlight washers were removed for the 2022 model year. From what i've seen on the polestar subreddit most people considered them a waste for washer fluid because it couldn't be activated independently from the windshield spray.
@@Mytagforhalo No I mean if it is not the MY22 it doesn not have s hest pump at all…it is only offered with the new ones
Yes, Bjørn is wrong here, this car does not have the heat pump.
@@laser_simon922 sorry, I must have misread that a bit. For some reason I thought you mentioned something about it being optional. My bad.
It's quite embarrassing that the TCAM issue still exists. Polestar have had plenty of time to fix this, imo. Same with the terrible app.
Can you do a degredation test on polestar 2
Running down that hill you looked so old xD
Why does thre screen have so huge black margins? Looks a bit like tablets of the first generation :)
You are missing the point. Charge port in right side is the wife side. Thats means she is in charge of charging.
26:36 🤣🤣🤣
I thought 50 hp, not 50kW
Nope, it's 50 kW more.
Cool! Thats a considerable increase of 16.7%! Is it worth it in your opinion?
Stickers... Silly...
The need for internet access is what kills this car for me :(
seems the car reports actual power delivery which likely includes heating the battery.
I think it's still misinformation. You pay exactly what you spend! Charger must be 100% accurate even counting losses, etc...
26:55 some tiktok ? :D
No worryes if the internet fails.Just set your phone as hotspot.
Didn't work.
The TCAM bug also takes down the WIFI transceiver. I think Bluetooth still works.
Press the Home (Hardware) Button for 20 seconds.
ah, you tell it at 19:00; you are a specialist anyway ;-)
sorry for doubting :D
TÜV sagt nein.
I am so sick of every BS car charging as much as TM3 and not getting the whole point of an ecar in that price range -- its a computer, a robot, its suppose to be software based. What a bunch of looser car companies, BMW, Mecedes, VW, whatever this company is that makes Polstar. So OK, just buy the Tesla. Done. And if another company wants to create competition, great, stop perfecting wine and cheese and remodeling casteles, all wonderful in their own right, stop ruining the internet with the EU DSVO, get a grip, let your kids have a youtube channel, and get into IT planning. EU is such a joke when it comes to Tech, its tech by grandma. Big loosers, go Tesla, eat their lunch....
