The problem in our Volvo cars is related to gearbox lag. Answering your question... Yes. A little bit. Gearbox lag is still there. But it has been reduced. But I just feel that, when Polestar drive mode is activated. When driving in Comfort mode, gearbox lag is more noticeable.

Gear Change Lag; Auto Gearbox
Referring to the comments about gear change lag:
Originally posted by Haldex about Auto Gearbox "Essentially- the trans being adaptive- it learns from your driving style. And it takes time to "unlearn" ie. if you drive it at a comfy pace for some time & then give it a"stab" in the corner- obviously, it's not gonna react the way you hope. The benefit of an adaptive transmission is better fuel economy, gentle shifts- but drawback is- it may not always react to your mood swings Apparently shifting into Offroad mode and driving past 40km/h (where offroad mode will disengage..) resets the adaptive "memory". " I've done the gearbox reset described by Haldex, (it works). I now use dynamic mode normally and my V60 Cross Country gear changes are now significantly more responsive than they were when I first got the car.

Do you use an Android phone and if so have you noticed any phone to car bluetooth issues since the software update?

I've been told by a couple of dealers that there is now a £595 promotion live/going live for the Polestar Optomisation (for Q3 ?).
Not down to £350, but better than a poke in the eye |

Quick question; does the Polestar optimisation make changes to all modes? Or does it just add a Polestar mode?
I mostly drive in comfort…and wouldn’t bother if it’s just an additional mode. |

good question. if you search for an answer in the forum, you'll see no one is certain. To be honest, I do think that gearbox lag is only reduced in Polestar Engineered mode. But you feel the extra torque and horsepower in the other modes as well.

I'd love a definitive answer on the comfort mode polestar question too. I don't have the drive modes switch but I believe that 'sport mode' is accessed by turning off the ESC. If P* doesn't make a big change to the crappy gearbox in comfort mode it would be a waste of a grand.
