I am surprised that Polestar optimisation isn't offered as just the gearbox optimisation (with no power increase) as is offered currently for the T8 Extended Range variants.

They used to do that exactly with the D3 and D4 5 cylinder.
The D3 + polestar had exactly the same output as the D4. Because it was the same engine. The polestar upgrade was cheaper than the difference between the D3 and D4, but the D4 was cheaper to insure....!
