Polestar mode

[IMAY2023]

For anyone that’s applied the Polestar setting to a T8 PHEV, did you also see the gearshift points under normal driving increase or was it just the general shifting feel?

With the factory Polestar tune which includes the ECU change it’s not at all subtle. In my V60 T8 PE for example the upshifts merging onto the highway under fairly light throttle in Polestar mode occur at 60 MPH for the shift into 6th gear, 70 for 7th and almost 80 MPH for 8th. Not very practical for a daily driver mode. I’m thinking about having the factory tune removed by Volvo and I’m wondering if the improved Polestar shift precision could be added back in without the higher shift point mapping of the factory tune.

Why would you pay VOLVO dealer to decrease the value of your car!  If you don't like the Polestar shifting, use comfort with Manual shifting from time to time when you need. 
From the Orbit what you get is. 
Quicker and more sensitive response to throttle throttle pedal sensor and the shifting times. It holds longer for up shifting and down shifts earlier / quicker when decelerating.
