Went to charge for a few minutes at my favorite free DC CCS place for the first time since OTA update Kernel June 2 :-(
Found a gentleman in a Polestar 2 using the charger and had a terrific conversation learning about how he got one here (ordered online, like me, back in 2019, delivered in January 2021 after delays with software bricking in Europe), service locations (they flatbed it if/when it will need service to their 'local' site), range, etc. I noticed that the center screen is bigger, with a slightly different layout of icons to take advantage of the real estate.
While charging, his screen reports range, amps (for AC), and kW, where as mine (now) shows miles/hr being added and kW (used to be miles/hr, amps for AC and volts). Interestingly, the 50kW charger was delivering only 39kW to my car.... I wonder if 100 to 150kW CCS systems will be different....
Learned that Polestar contacted him about 'issues/delays' with AirPlay. They offered him a total of 6 years of free data instead of 3 to compensate. That worries me we are going to get some bad news about issues or delays from Volvo too.
If you have questions, let me know - I will ask the next time I see him there.
