Exclusively for Long range Dual motor Polestar vehicles, there is more power and performance to be unlocked with the performance software upgrade.
- 01.Extra Power
The performance software upgrade increases the motors' combined certified output over the complete RPM register, increasing power and torque, and decreasing the acceleration time.

Apart from increasing the car's power and torque, the performance software upgrade also changes the pedal mapping. As a result, the motors respond more quickly to the accelerator, elevating the driving experience even further.
- 03.Launch control
For those moments when even extraordinary acceleration is deemed too ordinary, the performance software upgrade includes a launch control feature. It's activated by simultaneously depressing the accelerator and brake pedals, preloading a higher starting torque to provide maximum power right from a standstill. The result is a car that speeds up in the blink of an eye and extends its momentum over a longer period.
- 04.Two ways to purchase
The performance software is included in the Performance pack for Long range Dual motor Polestar vehicles model year 2023 and after. Alternatively, existing owners can purchase the performance software upgrade as an aftermarket over-the-air installation.
- 05.Easy over-the-air installation
The installation will be downloaded through a scheduled over-the-air software update if you purchase the performance software upgrade for an existing Polestar. This can take up to two weeks from the time of purchase. Once the installation is complete, the in-car Performance app in the center display will be updated with Launch control and G-meter options.
