2024 Polestar 2 — rear tires are disappearing faster than expected

ColdStartFanCommunity StarterJan 29, 20262024 Polestar 2 Long Range Dual MotorCentral Jersey
2024 Polestar 2 Long Range Dual Motor, about 12,500 miles. The car is aligned and pressures are correct, but rear tire life is much shorter than my previous gas cars.

Checked the easy stuff on the 2024 Polestar 2 and found one clue worth chasing before I book a shop. Video is ugly but it shows the hesitation.

Don't clear the alert just to make the screen pretty. Leave the alerts on the 2024 Polestar 2 so service can see what you saw. Then you'll know the next fork. This is from a 2024 Polestar 2 in Central Jersey with 12,500 miles. A shop burned me once by skipping that step. This is the version I'd tell a friend.

Low-voltage gremlins will strand you even with a full pack. Try a second charger before blaming the 2024 Polestar 2 — site sharing and pack temp change the curve a lot. Then you'll know the next fork. Had a similar mess a couple years ago and that's what finally sorted it. Only after sitting overnight so far.

Charge curves lie if you don't match starting SOC and temp. Match starting SOC and battery temp if you're comparing 2024 Polestar 2 charge sessions. I'd do that before spending real money. No need to make it theatrical. If this is nothing, great. I want that in data.

I'd push back a little: Match starting SOC and battery temp if you're comparing 2024 Polestar 2 charge sessions. That's where I'd start. Post the numbers (or the code) and people can get more specific. Make the next action something you can finish this week. I'd rather pay for diagnosis than a second guess-repair.

I went back under the 2024 Polestar 2 and it only happens after a heat soak, not on a cold start. I keep a notes app thread for this now.

I'd treat 12V warnings as a no-ignore. On the 2024 Polestar 2, I'd get the 12V/DC-DC side checked even if the traction pack looks fine. I'd do that before spending real money. On “rear tires are disappearing faster than expected,” that was the fork that mattered for me. This is from a 2024 Polestar 2 in Central Jersey with 12,500 miles. Any freeze-frame data saved? This is the filter I use when the thread starts repeating itself. I'd rather pay for diagnosis than a second guess-repair.

Asking because it changes the advice: Match starting SOC and battery temp if you're comparing 2024 Polestar 2 charge sessions. That's where I'd start. This is from a 2024 Polestar 2 in Central Jersey with 12,500 miles. Did the worksheet show tax yet? Not driving it hard until I know more.

Quick add on that: On the 2024 Polestar 2, I'd get the 12V/DC-DC side checked even if the traction pack looks fine. Then you'll know the next fork. On “rear tires are disappearing faster than expected,” that was the fork that mattered for me. If it doesn't change the out-the-door or the repair estimate, it's noise.

Same neighborhood, different next step: Leave the alerts on the 2024 Polestar 2 so service can see what you saw. Then you'll know the next fork. Did the worksheet show tax yet? I already checked the easy fluid levels.

Run the total, not the monthly, before you commit. If that fails I'll eat the diagnostic fee.

Low-voltage gremlins will strand you even with a full pack. Try a second charger before blaming the 2024 Polestar 2 — site sharing and pack temp change the curve a lot. Then you'll know the next fork. When does it actually happen? Not driving it hard until I know more.

Your commute and mine probably aren't the same, but the test still applies. That's my plan before I call anyone.

Fair point. Counterpoint: Try a second charger before blaming the 2024 Polestar 2 — site sharing and pack temp change the curve a lot. Then you'll know the next fork. Do that first. If it repeats twice more I'll book time.
