Well they have 80 minutes to get here still to be within their 8 a.m. - 1 p.m. window and I've not had a phone call yet.
The summon part might be a myth but they can definitely unlock the car, I recently had a mobile technician visit for my Model 3 and he did this on his laptop.

Car is officially late and nobody seems to know why.
I know it's BCA who do the logistics, not Polestar, but not a great start.
Of course but so can BMW / Audi / Mercedes and any other car that has internet connectivity.
could be worse , it has already been through the suez canal ?
Even Hyundai/Kia can do this. My car is leased and I know for a fact that a second BlueLink account has been registered to the Lease Provider, so they can see the journeys, the charging, lock and unlock the car, everything. And it's their car, so there isn't anything I can do about it.
Had a text of a friend of mine who owns an ID3.
Seems the update went smoothly.
Car is recording range very accurately along with the car play and app connect working fully.
We have a delivery date still as 28th May so nice to hear the update has fixed some of the gremlins.

Daughter has had a couple of trips to Great Ormond Street (currently staying overnight there tonight) and the I-Pace has been brilliant, can do there and back without charging (180-190 mile round trip) so travel cost is peanuts. Creeping along in central London traffic uses barely any energy, even for extended periods. Exempt from Congestion Charge and ULEZ charge which is almost £30 a day.

Finally arrived at 3:00 p.m.
Driver seemed to think he couldn't get in my road to offload even though the exact same size lorry delivered a car to me 2 years ago.
I had to get in his cab and drive to a nearby industrial estate for the handover
Anyways she is a beaut and lovely to drive.

I saw a Defender with those green strip plates today! I assume they were just there 'for the lols' and it wasn't some kind of custom EV conversion

Looks great
I swore out loud the first time I put my foot down.
Doesn't matter how many videos you watch, until you experience it it's hard to appreciate how quick these things are....in comparison to the 2.0 Mercedes E200 I had been driving anyway!
