I drive the polestar 2 for about three years and just order my polestar 3. Can't wait. Polestar is a very driving friendly vehicle. Most of people don't know polestar and thought it is expensive. But once you drive it, you will find it worth. I drive Porsche tycan before, so I can say that polestar drives like Porsche but much cheaper than the Porsche with same trim and package. I am in US and I ordered my polestar 3 with all the packages except Lidar and cost just above $100,000. I think it definitely worth it, because I got a great experience for my polestar 2. I think you should do a test drive and feel it, before make any assumptions.

Is it worth 2x a Model Y though? Seems a bit excessive. Also why not get the Macan 4 instead for that kind of price?

@@ayushmalpeddi2793 yes. I drove Tesla Model 3 for a month and changed to polestar 2 since the quality of Tesla didn't satisfy me. For driving experience both car are good, but Tesla is more like race car feel, the suspension is very hard and the seat is had too, also the acceleration is too sensitive for me. From a quality of a car l, yes polestar worth the money. Porsche is more expensive. If you quote Porsche Macan EV, the stating from is similar to polestar but if you add all the packages as same as polestar, it will be much more expensive. If someone buy Porsche, need to add all the packages to feel like a Porsche, the lowest trim only looks like a Porsche but didn't feel like Porsche

I'm really interested in an EV one day, but I've heard so many people tell me it's a huge hassle dealing with charging once the initial novelty wears off. One friend tells me he rents a gas vehicle when he does road-trips. EVs are very expensive vehicles and I can't justify making payments on a car I can't drive while paying for a rental at the same time. Some of my acquaintances have said, just wait, because it's still not worth the hassle. Would love to see your real world opinion if your get one.

These range figures are terrible for such a large battery

Not given the size of the vehicle, there’s not much that will give you more real world range

@@AAutoBuyersGuide I dunno. Is the vehicle MUCH larger than my Ioniq 5, which easily gets 3.3mi/kWh highway? edit: it's MUCH more powerful, but the motors should be tuned to deliver the bare minimum to propel the vehicle at steady state, etc.

Good luck... Just read that polestar sales are a joke while Volvo has grown..crowded field, overpriced, needs lease deals & incentives, etc...evs will be a joke for years to come...

Far too many "ostensibly" in a single video. And this car is a mess

Great review, but mediocre car at the best. Range is way too low for the battery size and interior looks too cheap for the price. They need to be priced close to Model Y, not EQE and iX.

Polestar styling is simply bad. They just don't make attractive cars.

I don't understand why you even review EVs, every person that buys one will grow to regret it sooner or later.
@xueju11213 ай бұрын
I have been driving EVs since 2016, and I don’t regret it. Not one bit. I also keep a hybrid in my garage, just in case, but I haven’t touched it for a long time.

Every person I know who bought one say they can never go back to an ICE-vehicle (I'm in Sweden though)
