Polestar 2 Update 2.4 Released to Space Workshops; Also Not Coming OTA

After a botched 2.3 Over-The-Air update Polestar has announced that update 2.4 has been released. This update is slated to Space workshops only. Polestar has stated that the update will not be coming to all cars via an over-the-air update as it is an interim update.

Note: this interim software release is only available in workshops, not OTA. The content of P2.4 will be included in the next OTA update.

Updates in software version P2.4

As this is an interim update there does not seem to be a large amount of changes.

Bug fixs for charging limit issue

It has been reported a decent amount of times that when setting the charge limit, sometimes the car will seemingly ignore the setting. I personally have had this happen a few times. Hopefully this update fixes the charging limit issue and the car will now accurately charge to the specified limit.

Note: To support this software release the sharing of information between your car and other vehicles via our cloud service will be temporarily disabled if it was activated before. Your earlier privacy settings will remain when data sharing is enabled again. The temporary change applies only to cars in Europe and North America.

The Polestar 2 2.3 OTA Was halted previously

Polestar began rolling out the over-the-air (OTA) version 2.3 to their fleet of Polestar 2s in the United States in the middle of September. I installed the upgrade and was locked out of my Polestar 2 for about 12 hours as a result. This was related to car unlocking instability concerns.

We're still experiencing instabilities regarding the issue with unlocking the vehicle with a physical key that was intended to be addressed through software update P2.3. Therefore, we're currently pausing the roll-out of P2.3 to assess the situation further and we'll make an announcement once the roll out for P2.3 resumes. – Polestar
