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.
