When you select a destination in the nav the screen re-orientates to display the route and the compass square changes to the wiggly "Nav" icon. When you touch that it changes back to the compass, pretty useless though it is.

Tesla Software updates - Australia
- Thread starter Grenadine
- Start date
I had a look at their website. It does look like a good interface and without the gimmicks that cars dont need. I was particularly interested in the ability to design your own app for your car. Havn’t checked out the efficiency yet, but thats probably an area tesla are always going to lead in.
they’re probably inundated
I booked my Polestar test-drive in early October and the earliest I could get was late November
I had no luck with XC40 Pure - the books are reportedly full for 2022
This sounds like setting your facebook language to Pirate. Gold!
@Wol747 as you would be well aware, the children of magenta are running the show these days - and they're in the process of handing over the reins to the completely automation dependent thummy generation now. And those are the people implementing our user interfaces.
I can't understand for the life in me why the compass disappears when navigating to a place. There's no reason for that to happen. Also, while navigating, zoom in to an area the car currently is not in, then tell me how to get it to zoom back out with car centred with a single tap. That used to work by just tapping the compass. But with the compass gone, you have to tap the navigation "plan", tap the "..." to select "..." then tap it again to unselect, and it'll zoom out. Very intuitive.
I repeat my mantra: Please open source the MCU code so we can make it good.

Right. So we get something like the Gnome UI. No thanks
New update is not the best
Slider for fan instead of +/- isn’t easy to use. To turn on seat heaters the whole aircon turns on plus other hidden menus which previously took one click to get to
On another note, driving to a supercharger the other day I didn’t get the message that it would precondition the battery
Could it be because the battery was low (20%) and it’s trying to save energy (read somewhere that precondition uses more battery) or maybe they just got rid of the message all together
Hoping they soon add the ability to customise any icon/function not just the limited current ones

I'm going to start trying to rely more on voice commands so that when I eventually have to install the holiday update I'll be less impacted by the UI.
This thread is a helpful resource for making that transition:

It's less pretty but functionally very good....I am on MSU latest in my Model 3/X (with ATOM not Ryzen)....whatever Polestart are running CPU wise it works smoothly without any issues.
All the charging stops is built in like Tesla, there is a app area and at the moment it has a bunch like Waze, Spotify (a number of music ones) and since it is based on Android (from Google) it promises to bring lots more (so the sales persons says).
I was surprise how good the car was/is tbh....

I went to the Polestar website and registered on the first day test drives opened....I'd 100% take it for a test drive....I am like both the M3P and the Polestar 2....Tesla get efficiency but it's a neck and neck with one or the other winning out in all other areas....it's a good attempt at an EV.
Yeah I’ve registered also, Will have to wait and see. Mrs likes M3 but seeing we already have one, I think she’s leaning toward something a bit different. Her budget was 60 so the P2 FWD fits that after the rebates but I’ve just learnt the base has no autopilot. 
Once you option that in for 5k the prices are only a couple of $$ apart.

Polestar doesn’t have auto pilot, more a driver assist feature that as you move out of a lane without the indicator on the car pushes you back….very different to Tesla Auto Pilot - Tesla +1 here (even though it is crap compared to the 2015 Mobile version stillYeah I’ve registered also, Will have to wait and see.

)I registered for a drive yesterday, so will see what its like. I’d happily trade autopilot for a reliable active cruise control. More than happy to steer.

Yes I agree it looked more like an active lane assist in their buff, but I watched bjorn review one and it did seem a bit better than lane assist. Of course, nothing to say we would get the same options in Australia. So what you test drive was fitted with their ‘pilot?’Polestar doesn’t have auto pilot, more a driver assist feature that as you move out of a lane without the indicator on the car pushes you back….very different to Tesla Auto Pilot - Tesla +1 here (even though it is crap compared to the 2015 Mobile version still

Yep, it had everything on offer including being what they essential call their performance model….
One thing I can say, that I just remembered….the Polestar seats are really really really nice….
Have to say, not sure if this is a FSD feature, but i've been getting more of those "Lane Departure Avoidance features unavailable" messages recently. It goes away once you stop the car and put it into P but evidently still needs some software work on it.
