Polestar Cribbs - Excellent

I'd like to thank Oil, Toby, Seb and Filip for their help, advice and professionalism through the whole process of buying my Polestar 4. My first experiance of dealing with Oli and Seb at a test drive event convinced me that dealing with them was going to be smooth and pleasent. A masssive plus point is they dont hard sell. They give full answers to your questions but don't ram the product down your throat, like most dealers.
I dealt with Toby and Filip towards the end of the process and they further enhanced the professional, yet easy going nature of the business. Whilst the car is great, the guys at Polestar Cribbs are more impressive. This is how selling cars should be done. I will be going back and have recommended them to many colleagues and friends.

Had a camera fault on my PS4 and called Polestar for warranty repairs. Although it was a bit of a challenge to find Volvo centre that was available for an appointment, eventually I did and car was sorted in a day. Plus I got a courtesy car. Very satisfied with my car and Polestar service 👍

Had my PS2 since March and have had no problems with it in general. I have used the digital key since taking delivery and recently had to pair a new phone to the car, only to realise the main key had completely died (batteries changed - no joy). I contacted Polestar who told me that I should pay full price for a new key as I am just outside of my warranty. Not even a goodwill gesture, considering the nature of the issue. A near £500.00 charge for a new key that is obviously faulty. I've always praised Polestar, so naturally am very disappointed and wont be getting another one when due to order a new car later this year.

End of my tether.

Oh my. Car is so good and the software experience and customer support is badly letting it down. I have a polestar 4 (26) and there is no back window that is not a problem until the camera fails.
On top of this it will only load the guest user and you have to wait for that profile to fully load before you can go to the main menu and select the user you want.
This can take a few minutes depending on connection speed and area.
Yesterday I had had enough and called customer support. They told me to call Vinny at Wembley. Vinny put me on to his manager Benjemin and he told me to go to battersea.
I called battersea just now and spoke to Hamas and guess what?
Yup. He told me to call customer support.
This is ridiculous and the car deserves so much better.
Best car I have ever driven but the worst software.
Plenty of work colleagues ask to see the car in the car park and I stand there with my phone trying to open the door. Once you get in it’s impressive but the rest is embarrassing.

Hello Paul,

Thank you for taking the time to provide us with feedback of your experience with your Polestar 4 and our customer support team.

We are saddened to hear that you feel that you are at the end of your tether, this is not how we want our Polestar owners to feel and we can only apologise for this. We do appreciate that your experience with getting the issues with your Polestar resolved has been confusing so far.

We can see that on the 27th July, your case handler emailed to you some troubleshooting techniques to try and help further identify a resolution for you. Please do give these a try in the meantime. Your case handler will be in touch with you as soon as possible to understand further what has occurred and offer our support.

Once again, we do apologise for the frustration, we will continue to work closely with yourself and our servicing partner Endeavour to help resolve this case for you.

Fantastic customer support. I bought the car from an independent who quite frankly knew nothing about the vehicle they were selling. Support helped me with all set ups and talked me through the car's abilities.
