Any idea what the difference is between:
"With Polestar"
"Polestar Engineered Edition"
"Polestar Engineered Car"
"Polestar Car"

So as a T8 owner I’m aware there is no “Polestar” map as such for my engine. Just a gearbox map, so I presume enabling “with polestar” is going to be the same as rocking up to the dealer and paying £600+ as there is no ECU tune involved?

Changed a few days ago to Polestar mode using OrBit, and transmission works great. Before the change if I would press the accelerator pedal to the floor then the revs would go from 1.5k->4k or so, with Polestar looks like they keep the engine in the highest torque range more precisely and revs go from 1.75k to 2.75k or so and then it quickly changes to the next shift. Idle run is still the same around 0.8k. Suspension goes lower a few cm and becomes firm. For 2.0 diesel it is probably the max power (173kw) you can get out of such engine anyway, so I don’t expect the official Polstar mode from the dealer to add anything to it. Happy to have this upgrade.

I am considering giving this a try...Already got the cable!
Can anyone confirm what the correct polestar option would be for a 22.5 XC60 T8 Extended Range with air ride?
would like to be certain about making the change before I do it!
Any other T8 ER options that need to be adjusted to closely replicate the polestar flash would be greatly appreciated as well!

I applied it to my 2018 XC60 T5, makes a world of difference I actually enjoy driving my car again! Transmission shifts are much smoother, no more herky jerky downshifts coming out of turns.
