Polestar is offering Long range Dual motor customers a 68 HP, 15 lb-ft of TQ downloadable software upgrade for 'just' $1195.
Behind the wheel, the software upgrade delivers increased “throttle” response and a sportier experience overall. The sprint from 0–60 MPH drops to 4.2 seconds, with even bigger gains felt between 45 and 80 MPH, resulting in solid mid-range acceleration gains that give an overall livelier feel to the Polestar 2.
“With this upgrade,” reads the official copy, “accelerating from 50 to 75 mph takes just 2.2 seconds — half a second quicker than a standard dual-motor Polestar 2.” “This upgrade highlights how connected technologies can transform the relationship a car company has with its customers,” said Thomas Ingenlath, CEO of Polestar. “The driving experience in Polestar 2 is something we are really proud of. It is such a fun car to drive already, but with this upgrade we can offer even more to our customers who might be after a little extra excitement.”
The upgrade adds 68 horsepower and 15 lb-ft of torque to the existing 408 hp and 487 lb-ft of torque produced by the dual-motor powertrain, for a total output of 476 hp and 502 lb-ft. And, because it’s software, the “tune” can be downloaded directly to the vehicle without a trip to a Polestar service point, a quick and convenient process for any eligible Polestar owner. The OTA download is available online for eligible owners now in the Polestar Shop website, for a one-time cost of $1195.
And, if all this sounds familiar, that’s because you’ve been paying attention! A nearly identical update was offered to Polestar’s European customers late last year, and has done well enough to merit being brought across the pond.Featured images courtesy of
