DON’T, FOR GOODNESS’ SAKE, DOWNLOAD THE POLESTAR SPACE
Warp arcade game if you have a Polestar Not even because it’s any good but because it’s stupid and addictive and hugely pointless And yet addictive And yet pointless In the way only crappy space games really are It’s also perhaps the worst possible use of the Googleinfused multimedia and operating system in the P whose breadth of ability is properly unlocked once you start downloading some apps Vivaldi web browser is downloaded as are some of my favourite mapping applications and the like And the voice control really works at least for my accent which is so bland as to be entirely unrecognisable as anything faintly regional I’ve not quite committed to firing up the web browser yet mainly because it requires my personal information again and also offers the ability to boredomshop while rapid charging and my phone is bad enough on its own I’m also going slowly broke by using kW chargers but that’s another story entirely
So what’s been going on this month? Well charging out and about has been multitudinous and effective with a new high of kW max achieved at the kW chargers at Baldock services natch That’s not bad given the P’s charge curve Of slightly more interest is the fact that at home my P charges at a laggardly mph at A Which is some way off the mph I have been getting I assumed that it was something to do with my ancient charger but the Citroen eBerlingo that popped in last week was happily charging at mph twice the speed so we may need to look into that
In other news the P and I are shortly off to Daventry to see a man about some winter tyres as well as getting hold of some ramp time to soften off the dampers hopefully creating the slightly squidgy less intense but powerful cruiser that I’m notsosecretly hankering after
