Question 1

How does Polestar Digital Key work?

Accepted Answer

Polestar Digital Key is a smart, convenient replacement for the traditional car key. An encrypted digital key is stored securely in the owner’s phone, which communicates with the car using an encrypted Bluetooth connection. In Polestar 2, the digital key enables many personalised settings for the driver, enables car sharing and allows for connected Polestar services like pick-up and delivery. Polestar 2 is still provided with a standard key fob for peace of mind.

Question 2

Can you equip Polestar 2 with a tow bar?

Accepted Answer

Yes, tow bar will be an option during the final order.

Question 3

Parking climate and max defroster turns off when I get up from the driver seat to remove ice and snow from the car. How do I turn them on again?

Accepted Answer

Use the climate menu in your Polestar 2 to turn on parking climate and to keep it running while away from the driver seat. This cannot be activated if the car is in active mode. Parking climate can be turned on for 30 minutes at a time. Please note that the max defroster cannot run at the same time as parking climate.

Question 4

Can I take my car to a Polestar space for service?

Accepted Answer

Our Polestar spaces are purely retail environments and not equipped to perform service or maintenance. However, staff at Polestar spaces are happy to help you book an appointment at a nearby service point. Please contact Polestar support for your maintenance questions and service bookings.

Question 5

What is a Polestar ID?

Accepted Answer

A Polestar ID is a user account tied to the email address you provided when placing your order. An email with an activation link will be sent to you when you need to confirm your account and update your account password.

Question 6

Is my Polestar ID created automatically when I order my Polestar?

Accepted Answer

Yes, your Polestar ID is created automatically when ordering your Polestar. You need to activate your Polestar ID within 30 days to be able to proceed with your order. This is done by clicking the link in the message which is sent to your provided e-mail address.

Question 7

Where do I find the VIN-number?

Accepted Answer

When your order has been assigned a VIN-number, it will be available on your order page which you can access by logging in at Polestar.com with your Polestar ID.

Question 8

Why does the car require all keys to be in the vehicle when pairing and what happens if I do not have all my keys?

Accepted Answer

For security reasons, the car requires all physical keys (the main key(s) and the activity key) to be inside the vehicle when pairing the Polestar app for the first time. This is only required when pairing a primary ‘admin’ device to the car and not for any subsequent pairings. If you do not have all keys in the vehicle, the car will display a notification and the pairing process will not be completed.

Question 9

How can I remotely start the heating in the car?

Accepted Answer

Remote climate control will be available in the Polestar App early 2021. However, by the end of 2020 you will be able to programme the heating timer (setting the heater in your car according to a schedule) from inside the car itself. This functionality will be made available at your next workshop visit or via a future Over-The-Air update. The new software was released towards end of November.

Question 10

My car is charging to 100% even though I set the limit to 80% or another level. Why does that happen?

Accepted Answer

We are aware that this is happening with a few of our cars. This will not affect your warranty. We are working on a future software update which will solve the problem.

Question 11

Is it possible to set a charging schedule for the car?

Accepted Answer

This functionality will be available in the Polestar App mid 2021. If you have a smart wallbox, this may allow for scheduled charging.

Question 12

Is there a way to see how the performance software upgrade improves the acceleration time?

Accepted Answer

Yes there is. We’ve developed a dedicated in-car Performance app that can be accessed from the center display. It provides acceleration figures as well as the number of G’s that the car pulls. The Performance app can be downloaded for free from the Google Play store.

Question 13

Does the Performance app come pre-installed with the Performance pack?

Accepted Answer

If you order a Polestar 2 Long range Dual motor and opt for the Performance pack, the Performance app does not come pre-installed. However, it can be downloaded for free from the Google Play store and set up in minutes.
