This is my only personal competition with Porsche Taycan & Macan 4…. This loses out for me because of its emulation of Tesla interiors in all the bad ways … Porsche cockpits are second to none in terms of displays, and it helps that you can operate climate controls outside of the infotainment screen (and without voice commands)

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.

@@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 think you should get the 3 or 4. I think the 4 looks cooler and is cheaper. The 3 looks too much like a run of the mill crossover. Love to see whether how inconvenient an EV is on road-trips. 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.

⁠@@ronkemperfulI am glad you mentioned customer reports reliability rating, I was going to bring up the same thing. Our neighbors leased a Polestar 2. They ended up having to do a Lemon Law buy back. All the screens went black on the way from dealership after picking it up and bring it home. After that it was in and out of service until they lawyered up. Myself, I am on the fence with electric vehicles. I think I would wait until the technology matures or something new like solid state batteries or something else better comes along. I am just not completely convinced the current technology is sustainable the way it is now. Hopefully things get better.

I have heard that there is a bit of difference between the Volvo service spots, where some have less experience of Polestar. I suggest that you take it to a different perhsps bigger shop to get help. My support experience has been smooth overall except at a smaller place closer to where I live.

This is not a simple statement. It's a publicly traded corporation on the Stockholm exchange headquartered in Sweden. Geely owns around 40% of Polestar directly, Volvo still owns about 40% and Geely owns over 75% of Volvo, so ultimately around 71% of Polestar is owned by Geely. It seems that the long term plan is to divest slowly until they hold around 50% of both companies.
