Hi, I like the review & your style - not super hyped, calm, giving the facts. A few points from me on things that could be improved going forward: I'm not a native English speaker, sometimes when you say too many figures quickly, it gets lost. Perhaps including a post-processing graphics on the screen (range, price, consumption, ..) whenever you mention them? Secondly, the sound seems to be low; the friggin adverts scream at me whenever they pop up, because I have to bring the volume up. On the car itself: I like the interior. And I'm with you, why the hell do they put those idiotic stickers everywhere? Why on the seats? I don't care if it's recycled or not - or better put I mildly care while spec-ing the car, not after - and I don't need to be reminded of the fact for perpetuity. I'm not paying 79k to push your company's ESR BS, Polestar! And, sadly, the car is too late. I was really excited about it when they unveiled it, but the price is totally out and there's now better alternatives; not to mention Polestar's struggles - will the company survive? Will my warranty stand? I think I'll go for a hybrid this time around and in two years time I'll be back to pick this or the Q6 up for about 40% of it's current price.

I test drove one yesterday, apparently the 10th person to have done so from this particular Polestar space in the UK. Honest option… fairly competent drive and overall a nice car….but they have the pricing level wrong. You can see who they are trying to align their pricing with, but the car sophistication does not match the aspirational pricing. I can see this getting heavily discounted rapidly. It should be priced nearer the Model Y with a USP of being much better built and kitted out compared to the Y. Trying to go toe to toe with Mercedes, Porsche or Audi just isn’t going to work out until the brand has grown a legacy.

I test drove a polestar 3 today love the look and feel of the car but the demo I drove was a terrible advert for the company. The operating system was constantly crashing rendering single pedal drive useless halfway through the drive. The power assisted steering stopped working during the drive and the car was throwing up system failure messages constantly. The air suspension wasn’t working either. The poor guy who came out with me on the test drive was constantly apologising for the issues saying it was a ‘pre production model’ and when the cars were available for sale in September there would be an update which would fix all the teething problems. Call me old fashioned but I wouldn’t consider buying one until everything was working reliably. I said call me when you have a fully working demonstrator

I have a Polestar 2. Brilliant car. Unfortunately Polestar have said it will be discontinued at some point ... maybe get 1 final minor facelift. It will then be replaced by a dedicated EV platform car that will be called the Polestar 7. BTW, don't knock the ICE/EV platform. They are monocoque construction, rather than skateboard like EV only platforms. My guess is that in 10 to 15 years the monocoque will still feel solid while the skateboard will be a bit loose and full of rattles. Cars used to be chassis frame and bodywork added (very similar to EV skateboard) but went to a better construction a few decades back.

But the 3 has been ‘coming soon’ for ages and the 4 almost as long, and here we are still with homemade pre-production paint and ‘When the car comes to the UK…’ Polestar needs to stop promising and start delivering some product. Either the 3 or the 4 might have been great for me. But I ordered a BMW instead.

Second hand I got offered a Polestar 2 car I had test driven for a few hours six months later with 3k miles for £31k the car new was £53k because of all the options that’s scary depreciation. So this £65k will be worth what mid forties in a year and thirty something the next. So your saying your Car paint is shocking at £65k😮 If your going to spend that kind of money I’ll go with a year old Taycan every day of the week.

@@benrgrogan I guess that could be possibility also. But is it so that as 'AMG' for Volvo revenues would be more likely like 100s of millions. As separate brand it can be tens of billions. And if you compare Polestar 3 and Volvo EX90 they are quite a different cars even sharing same basic core. PE version of EX90 would not still be anything like P3 I think. While having 2 different brands you can do quite different cars for different target groups while having same starting point. And for me (kids not at home anymore) P3 would be an option but EX90 for sure not. If I would still have all 3 kids at home -> then EX90... I personally see Polestar like Alfa Romeo. (Very) Sporty normal car without very high price tag like Porsche (or for that matter proper AMG, M or RS). We have currently Volvo V60 Polestar Engineered and it is excellent car. We have also Polestar 2 which is exceptionally good driver's car. So naturally much more risk and especially much more investment from Geely to create a new car brand (and many of them in general fails), but also potential is much bigger. Polestars (especially BST versions) are actually really sporty even at 'AMG' scale especially from chassis tuning point of view (not crazy power or everything tuned to the max, but still...). Time will tell how well Polestar as separate brand will finally fly... hopefully they will still 'help' Volvo to create Polestar Engineered cars. I still think that V60 PE is a superb combination of Volvo's practicality and design and combined with Polestar sporty touch.

It’s the increasing trend to quote maximum range by making the battery bigger. Like putting a bigger petrol tank in a car and quoting the range. It’s the real world miles per kWh that we want to know and 3.1 is not good enough, and it’ll be less in the 4 months of cold weather. That’ll work out more expensive per mile than an average diesel using standard public charging so another car to please the anti ev crowd. Too expensive, too big, not efficient enough

I can't believe I have to say this but every time a content producer asks me to like and subscribe, I specifically choose not to. I do subscribe and like channels, only because I actually feel like doing it not because the channel begs or solicits it. It just reeks of desperation and takes something away from the viewing experience.

@@Electrifyingcom You would think that the Swedes would have done a better job esthetically of integrating that charger. Plus given the size of this thing (on a dedicated EV platform, no less) where is the interior storage: some nooks, a few crannies and perhaps a hidey-hole or two...spaces that should abound and yet...next to nothing.

75000 starting price? Way too much for this car, especially for a car that is built in China. Polestar are punching way above their weight. If it had a starting price around 50,000 to 55,000 then this car could be a viable premium option.

That's silly. Sorry, but where it is built doesn't matter. They're going to build them in the USA too and then in Belgium, but they won't be any better built than the one built in China. You're paying for engineering, sophistication, a company that has decades of sports tuning under their belt plust they have all of the safety and build quality of Volvo because they're an offshoot of Volvo. Ex-Volvo designers, ex-Volvo engineers, ex-Volvo programmers. This is not a $50,000 car. The Polestar 4 isn't even $50,000. That is way too low for a car of this caliber and sophistication. In fact the Polestar 2 tops off at $50,000 and that's how much a car like the Toyota Crown costs.

​@@benjaminsmith2287 75000 pounds in dollars is 95000. MGs are engineered and designed in Europe, but are built in China for keeping costs down, hence why they are cheap in Europe. Sorry, but Polestar are wanting too much for this car regardless where the engineering and design was done.

Visit the docks at Bristol and see 100000's of ~Polestars sat there waiting for "duty to be paid". As the importers dont want them to leave the "duty free area" because of POOR sales

We tested Tesla Model 3 and it was utter garbage. Car was new, 500 km on the clock, and it rattled, and rattled. It was freezing weather at -15C and it was terrible. Also, during a 2 hour stint we got two phantom braking events. Polestar 2 on the other hand was brilliant in the Scandinavian winter. Tesla for California, a proper car for Scandinavia.

They are all now blatantly profiteering from the new tech IMHO
