For those wondering what the upgrade actually gives you, I emailed Polestar and amongst many things they gave me the following link, certainly a bit more than I thought, however would've been nice to up the power a tad too for the T5, not complaining re the extra torque in the mid range though

Wouldn't have thought you'd need a code, just speak to your dealer and they should be able to sort you out

Hi, I just spoke to the service guy who is arranging everything. Pretty sure they need the car for about an hour so I can wait if needs be. No code needed by me although the code for the product is on the bottom of the main page from the following link, this being for the T5 variant;

XC40 T5 FE - Bursting with blue and now with some extra blue - Polestar
Enquired with my Dealer at the weekend about a Polestar upgrade for my XC40 FE D4 order due in October.
The Dealer responded stating he was unable to find a Polestar upgrade for my model at the present time. Though he would make further enquiries to Volvo to find out when it would be available for the XC40.
In reply I informed him that I understood it was presently available for the XC40 and on special offer, requesting information as to when the special offer may end.
I have had no further response from my Dealer to my Polestar enquiry.
There are times when I wonder if I have placed an order for a phantom car or Volvo and their Dealerships are just too complacent.

It’s mainly the fact that there is such a wide variation in competence generally between dealers, and an even wider (chasm like!) range of competence, level of wakefulness, nous etc., between individual salesmen.Julian B wrote: ↑Wed Jul 25, 2018 4:36 pm Enquired with my Dealer at the weekend about a Polestar upgrade for my XC40 FE D4 order due in October.

Two XC40s - so far! Inscription Pro T5 AWD Auto - Glacier Silver/Blond/21”, fully loaded, from Jan thro Sep 2021. Polestarred. Also one of the first FEs - a D4 AWD Auto - Bursting Blue/Charcoal/20" from Mar thro Aug 2018. Also Polestarred.
Pack arrived via UPS today. Pic attached. Never mind the minor software upgrade. This is what you are paying for - a box, a brochure, a badge, a fitting guide, instructions and a wet wipe. No certificate in this pack - maybe a separate letter? It occurs to me that, given the pack was delivered in 12 days, I still have two days to cancel the upgrade but I could then still have the badge stuck on the back!
