Polestar Update 2.7: Enhancements, Fixes, and Features

Polestar's update 2.7 has been making rounds in the automotive news lately, and for good reason. The update promises to provide several enhancements, fixes, and features to Polestar car owners, making their driving experience even more seamless and enjoyable. Below you can see a quick bullet point list of changes.

According to a Facebook post, this update will also only be available via appointment or Space visit. This is another update that will be unavailable for over the air update and will require a Space visit. Polestar has stated prior to update 2.7 that the next update would be available via OTA. However, that has yet to come to reality.

Re-enabling of data sharing of information between your vehicle and other vehicles via our cloud service which was temporarily disabled in P2.2 is required. After P2.7 has been installed in your vehicle you will be able to activate this again through the vehicle’s privacy settings. This change only applies to vehicles in Europe and North America

Stability improvements for infotainment system including performance improvements.
- Bug fix for privacy settings in Polestar account.
- Bug fix for footwell interior light (vehicles with Plus Pack are not affected).
- Bug fix for clicking sound experienced in cabin under regen braking.
-Polestar app displays information during OTA software installation (valid from sw P2.5 and app version 3.13).

One of the most notable changes in the update is the re-enabling of data sharing between vehicles via Polestar's cloud service. The feature was disabled in the previous version (P2.2), but with P2.7, car owners in Europe and North America can activate it again through their vehicle's privacy settings. This will enable drivers to receive real-time traffic updates, road condition information, and other useful data from other Polestar cars on the road, making driving safer and more efficient.

In addition to the data sharing feature, the update also includes several bug fixes and performance improvements, especially in the infotainment system. This is great news for Polestar car owners who may have experienced issues with the system in the past. The update promises to make the system more stable and responsive, providing a better user experience for drivers and passengers alike.

One of the bugs that have been fixed in the update is related to the footwell interior light, which was affecting some Polestar car models. The fix ensures that the light works correctly and does not cause any inconvenience or distraction for drivers. Another bug that has been fixed is the clicking sound that some drivers experienced in the cabin when regenerative braking was engaged. This is a welcome fix for car owners who found the sound to be a nuisance while driving.

The Polestar app has also been updated to display information during OTA software installation. This is a minor but useful addition that informs drivers about the progress of the update and lets them know when the update is complete. This should make it easier for drivers to keep track of the update process and plan their schedules accordingly.

In conclusion, Polestar's update 2.7 promises several enhancements, fixes, and features for Polestar car owners, making driving safer and more enjoyable. With the re-enabled data sharing feature, improved stability and performance, and various bug fixes, the update promises to provide a better user experience for drivers and passengers alike. Polestar's commitment to delivering quality updates and services to its customers is commendable, and we look forward to seeing more updates in the future.
