I’m From Czech Republic but half of my family roots as well as my wife’s come from and near Grajewo. So almost neighbors. Here on the end of Long Island its almost all Polish so I’m brushing the language almost daily.

Very cool been to Grajewo few times when I lived in Munich and drove to Poland. Also been few times in CZ, love the country very close to Poland or Vice a versa. Spend some great nights in Prague.
If I ever get the strut-brace i'm going to have to paint the mounts, having the Ohlins stuff without actually having Ohlins would bother me too much like putting an "R" badge on a non R car lol.

I agree pine is what I would like to go with, and will try to do that when original smell is gone. I think the Choice was made to be original and as the color is yellow in majority they went with citrus smell.
After 3000 miles driven I only get around 26mpg on highway with average speed at 67mph. This is in eco mode, no roof box, only drier (200lbs), no load, 93oct fuel, 95% cruise with very good “eco” driving style.
What’s up with that? I was expecting 32-33 with the 29 rating with supper smooth driving.
The only two things I could consider with the outcome is
1.Polestar optimizations cost you 3-4 mpg
2. Car is still in the “brake in period” and it will get better
I've got almost 6000 miles on my T6 P* and never got more than 28mpg on the highway, averaging 60mph. It is actually worse than my outgoing Subaru 2.5L turbo manual wagon. That ran around 32mpg on highways
On longer trips I can usually get 30-31 mpg on the highway 70-75mph. I never use Eco mode but usually I drive in comfort on the highway and tend to coast on the downhills. Shorter trips around town its 20ish mpg. Coming from my fwd S70, the V60 has a much larger swing compared to the S70’s 22-27ish range.
I’m curious what the mpg gains would be if the cat and/or cat back exhaust was swapped for something less restrictive.

I’m so glad to report that the car dose have a brake in period of 3k miles that is running rich for that period. As soon as I hit 3k miles, the car went to over 30 miles per gallon as rated.
Super excited and wondering what will be the real MPG still hopefully that I’ll now get the 34/5 as originally expected.
I can't believe somebody hasn't asked you this already. Did you drive a standard cross-country before you got this? Does the Polestar make a big improvement in the performance?
Great looking ride by the way!
Drove few V60CC when I was test driving all options cars when shopping. The polestar is definitely worth every cent if you are looking for more "sporty" drive and more power. I'm never at the point that I find myself saying I wish "I had more power" to pass, get on a high way, or just want to get if the lights quick.
If you want the option for sporty drive, or more power I would definitely get this. The suspension however on the CC as I'm you can imagine is definitely not "sporty" a quicker move at higher speeds and the car feels like a boat. Low speed is perfect however
Installed the Owl cellular security cam. Getting ready for polestar strut brace next.
