So, the Since 1959 thing. I asked the dealer about it when I bought a volvo a few years ago. In 1959 volvo invented the seat belt and instead of patenting it and keeping it for them self's they decided to let all other auto makers use their design for free to save more lives. The 'Since 1959' refers to that. Volvo was founded somewhere in the 1920s or 30s

[@lookcloser4536]

Ian F It weighs 2.358 tons...it’s not going to be 3 seconds fast. However you say that but in the quarter mile, it actually out speeds cars in the low 3’s, like the Conti GT or the M4 GTS. It has a very « on/off » acceleration. The electric motors are geared for higher speeds because of their low redline (single speed) so once you’re above 50 km/h it just rockets it’s way up to 155. It’s a tad faster from 50 to any speed than the Conti GT. Keep in mind it’s a GT, not a Porsche 911 Turbo killer.

[@brandonboggess3112]

I agree with a lot of Doug’s opinions, but I think he’s totally wrong in saying that the Polestar 1 should have been an SUV. A coupe (or even a sedan or wagon for that matter) makes for a much more compelling flagship car than an SUV. The lower, lighter car with a lower center of gravity means better acceleration and handling and sleeker, better looking design, not to mention slightly more aerodynamic and therefore better efficiency and range (every mile of electric range counts for plug-in buyers) If it were a high volume model, he’d be absolutely right, but that’s what the Polestar 2 and other future models will be. The Polestar 1 was them putting their best foot forward on a desirable, low volume flagship model to draw attention to the brand. Even if SUVs are taking over the sales market, cars (especially coupes) will always have a performance edge and tend to be “cooler” and more desirable, especially when it comes to performance and flagship models (plus the more common SUVs become, the more cars will stand out)

[@LauWo]

Just like the flagship models of Bentley, Lamborghini, Rolls Royce etc... are not their SUV's.
