12 V terminal We found an opportunity to look at the 12 V terminal in a Polestar 3 and, aside from having to lie on the floor or ground, its a relatively simple find and simple to use. So, the trick, if you will, is to lie beneath the front bumper on the left side. …

Polestar symbols Since we’ve been spending so much time on Polestar models of late, we opted to review the companies dashboard symbols for 2026.

Get Out Just yesterday we updated our Get Out page with entries from Volvo and Polestar. Which prompted a very first look into what Lucid was up to with their locks and latches.

Get Out page The spread of electronic latches are getting attention of late, as a result of issues with flush Tesla Model Y door handles. We’ve used this to tout our Get Out page and (hopefully) rattle some cages about the dangers of electronic latches the page addresses. And we now have two more entries …
