Polestar 2 One Year and 38,000 Miles Later

[ordlay]

Kaskaskia is the first place I ever drove a car. My dad took me there and let me drive around the empty village.

I want Robert to do history videos now. I liked how he did that

2:35. I imagine giving you a 900HP Ford Escape would probably be against the Geneva Convention.

Similar thing as happened to Kaskaskia happend in the middle ages in Poland. There was a city with a huge castle which would've ended up as the capital of Poland... but the river changed its course by 400 meters so instead of flowing right under the castle you'd have to go through 400 metres of swamp to get to it. Subsequently the court moved to Warsaw and the would be capital barely exists now as a small village with an impressive castle ruin.

I love how you make these videos entertaining to watch and not just sit and talk about a car. The coal barge was a nice touch!

I nearly had a heart attack driving a Polestar 2 as a rental car because I was backing out of a parking spot and the car stopped so suddenly I was certain I had backed into another car or a post. I got out and there was nothing there. The car must have slammed on the brakes by itself. Glad it's not just me!

For anyone wondering the one petal driving braking at high SOC/low battery temp Tesla USED TO limit the regen braking with no compensation from the actual brakes. Fairly recently they updated and now you can turn on the option to use the physical brake pads to have a consistent braking experience like he describes having with the Polestar.

So in summary, a 1 year old Polestar 2 is the bargain of the century

It's wild to me that your nice weather efficiency is less than my winter efficiency in my MachE. I didn't realize the Mustang was particularly efficient for an EV.

It's good to know that as an Alfa Romeo owner considering a Polestar 2, the ownership experience won't change much. Random weird stuff being inaccurate or not quite working correctly, but also not quite broken, few dealerships, lighting money on fire in depreciation -- all the same.

Your ads are the only ones I don't skip through. You always make them fun!

I've had my P*2 (2022, dual motor, LR, but not performance pkg) for a bit over a year now and apart from occasionally staying offline for the whole duration of a drive, I've never experienced any issues, but I've only driven 15000km. I love this car!

regarding the usage metric, the reason most countries don't do mpgs or the electric equivalent is that the math is misleading. as per engineering explained on youtube via motorauthority, "Increasing the mpg of two cars by the same amount ... doesn't mean they save the same amount of fuel. A gain of 1 mpg will equate to more fuel savings in a car that started out getting 5 mpg than a car that started out getting 50 mpg."

This has to be one of the most entertaining reviews I’ve ever heard. The sticker part was hilarious!

In this episode: learning firsthand the sorrow of a car loan‘s remaining value staying above the depreciation costs.

6:13 A noise that kind of sounds like tire noise that developed soon after a big shock load could be a damaged wheel bearing (Brinelling damage). If the rotor is warped again, the hub part of it could be bent as well.

I HATE the new trend of having no start procedure. I should be able to turn the car OFF and ON. Even my Bolt (which DOES have a start button) doesn't FULLY turn off, so if it's doing some glitchy bullshit there is no way of rebooting the system other than walking away from it for an unspecified amount of time or disconnecting the auxiliary battery.

I am so glad I found your channel many years ago. A real person speaking about their doubt, concerns, experience and first of all joy of cars, and everything else.
I have to admit you can make even the sponsored parts watchable.

[jeesjees]

Finland mentioned! To the market! 🥳🇫🇮

BTW Volvo dealers DO service Polestars here.

Really enjoyed the little bits of history and scenery in this one. Makes it not just a video about a car.
