The reviewer highlights the system's ability to predict battery percentage upon arrival and departure, a feature they praise for instilling confidence, contrasting it with systems that offer less detailed information. While acknowledging Tesla's superior software integration and features, the reviewer finds the Polestar 2's Google OS navigation to be very good, offering accurate routing and charging stop suggestions.
