Delivery anxieties
Hi all, I’m scheduled to take delivery of a 2025 R1S Dual Max in the next couple of weeks. I’m excited having been impressed on a couple of demo drives and generally favorable reviews from “professionals” and owners alike.
That being said, I’m getting nervous having read several threads of poor reliability and repair experiences. For context, my other vehicle is a Polestar 2 that I’ve owned for 3 years. In that time it’s been in the shop 5-6 times for various issues (rattles, sensors that have gone bad, phone as key stopped working, etc.) but repairs have always been quick and there has always been a Polestar loaner available.
I just want to know, particular from Gen 2 owners, am I setting myself up for pain? I’m well accustomed to software glitches (Polestar’s software is its Achilles heal) but I’m worried about issues that require service visits. Am I getting into a situation where this thing ends up sitting at an SC more than my driveway and I’m routinely living with an inconvenience?
FWIW, I’m in the greater Seattle area for which I believe there to be 3 SCs. Minor rattles, wind noise, panel alignments don’t bother me much. It’s the out of service time that I’m concerned about.
Thank you to anyone who can share their thoughts/experiences.
