After the terrible software update that I had in January with my first service, I had lost internet connection from the car, applications failed to update, and car gps going crazy and for some reason oil level was overfill. Today car went in for a new update and all works perfect now apart from error message for the oil , funny enough now oil level is critically low. Guess will have to get the car in again. Just a quick note car is polesared and now it shows on the display once dynamic mode is selected.

Oooohhh... I like the Polestar showing in dynamic mode.

I’ll have to see if my dealer will do the update outside of a service as I’ve got 8 months to wait for that??

If Polestar being displayed in dynamic mode is really a thing then I can't wait for my car to get the update! Has the drive mode selection also changed in the menu from Dynamic to Polestar?

Can any UK owners that have had the Polestar treatment and the software update clarify the existence of this feature?

Nope dynamic mode is still showing in the drive mode selection in the central console. Polestar only shows in the driver’s digital cluster display.

Oh well, can't have it all I suppose but it's a start. A common complaint among those early adopters for the Polestar treatment, including myself has always been that there's no way to prove that the Polestar software has been applied to the car except for the bit of paper you get when it's been done to certify it.

This should make it much easier to prove.

Apparently it is a thing depending on the country... why it should be different, I have no idea but it seems it is...

:shock: that is much better to have it on the central display. Maybe at some point in time this upgrade will be available. Does it show as well on the driver’s display?

Yep, apparently it does!

This isn’t my car though, it’s from a Facebook group I’m on...
