Why does it say the upgrade will be available later this month? Is there a further Polestar upgrade to come, or have they just not realised it's already available?
Maybe it's v2.0 of the Polestar software which is annoying since I only got mine on Tuesday. Would be good if it could be updated via Sensus and OTA!

Just had Polestar installed, definitely less lag even in comfort mode. Just called Aviva - glad there were no charge and change in premium :)

I have now taken the plunge and have secured Polestar at today’s price. The dealer feels that it is very worthwhile especially for me, coming from a very quick Audi SQ5. Given all the feedback from Forum members, I did not need a lot of convincing.
I have decided to take delivery without Polestar and get it added a little later. This way I should be able to appreciate the benefit.
Cannot wait!

Checked it out today. The press stuff is misleading. The latest version of the s/w came out in week 28 (July 9th onward) and I have had it confirmed that the new additional AWD rear wheels feature was included from that time. It therefore installs in MY18 models of the XC40 as well as MY19. In the UK in fact, they didn’t start making it available until that version of the upgrade was released.
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. :o

Ok now added Polestar to the (long😳) list of post registration accessories in the hope it minimises the change from a 4.2 TT Q7!! Will report later in September after I’ve picked up my new XC40 FD T5P😀 - just can’t wait now😳

Has anyone had it done on the T4?

We're just about to order and maybe we should specify the T5 instead.

Are you in the UK? It only seems to be available on the D4 & T5 to date. Your dealer may be able to find out if it will be coming for the T4.

Does anyone know if this can be done on a lease vehicle? I know I can ask the question directly to the dealer but thought I'd ask here first.
