Polestar is continuously developing the systems in the vehicles and services offered to you. Software updates for your vehicle give you access to many new features and improvements. The vehicle's software can be updated to the latest version over the air (OTA) or in connection with a service at an authorized Polestar workshop. You will be informed in the center display when new software is available as an over-the-air (OTA) update. Go to the app view, then press the "Settings" icon, "System" and "Software updates" to see the current software version.
