Accepted Answer

The latest OTA software deployment is version P2.7.

Question 2

What improvements have been made to Google Maps? Is this also updated with OTA?

Accepted Answer

Google Maps in Polestar 2 is optimised for electric vehicles. The app is updated separately to the vehicle software and is not part of OTA updates, and the latest version will always be installed – provided you have enabled automatic updates in the Google Play Store. The latest version of Google Maps includes enhanced information regarding the available payment methods at public charging points, improving your ability to select the most suitable charging point.

Question 3

What are the linear scales added to the Range Assistant app?

Accepted Answer

The Range Assistant app now indicates how speed, climate and driving style may be affecting range. One each of these tiles, a new vertical linear indicator will show if/when they may be leading to higher energy consumption.

Question 4

Why have I not received the latest OTA update?

Accepted Answer

If you have still not received the latest OTA software, we recommend that you try to restart the system.

Restart the system by holding the home button for 20 seconds until the screen goes blank. The Polestar word mark is shown when the infotainment system is starting up again.

Once the restart has been completed, continue driving to allow the software download to complete. It may take several hours depending on the size of the update and the speed of the connection.

If the software is still not available for you after you have completed the above steps, please contact Polestar Support for further assistance.

Question 5

What is the Performance app and how does it work?

Accepted Answer

The performance app is available for all Polestar drivers but will give access to different functionality depending on whether you have upgraded your vehicle with our performance software. If you have not upgraded with our performance software upgrade, you will only see the G-meter functionality in the app.
