See Tesla? An interior can be minimal and still have, you know, THINGS.

0:25 "Built for regular people"
"Well regular people with money"

I got a Polestar 2, it`s a great car, headlights adjusting itself automatically and one pedal driving make this car super comfortable to drive, especially with the Performance Pack version with adjustable dampers. One thing this reviewer got totally wrong, the headroom in the backseat is not good.

Working on a tech channel.
Calls it "Google voice" ...

I don't know if anyone has commented on this but I have a few corrections. Polestar's next car will be the Polestar 3, not the production version of the concept. That's due out in 2022. When the Precept production vehicle will be available and what name (number) it will get is to be determined. Also, the Polestar 2 is the Volvo Concept 40.2. It started life as a Volvo but Volvo didn't use the body and instead it went to Polestar.

Aren't you a tech channel? You should know better to beep out the wake word like 'Hey Google'

I love this car, really considering to buy it.

All the colors options of polestars are so on point, it's just so pleasing my eyes

I’ve watched a lot of polestar 2 reviews and yours was one of the best! Thanks!!

I am a Swede and I like I roll or as they say in Latin, Volvo 😁

You'd think that after all these years people would know not to say "Hey Google" (or other voice assistant triggers) in YouTube videos, especially people on a tech channel. I can only assume you did it on purpose.

What a kick ass review! Now to test drive it. 🤔

[trevorbooth]

What happened to the Polestar yellow seatbelts and brake calipers ?

[exposingproxystalkingorgan]

Google is probably spying on you while the car is talking to you? Creepy is a correct term of reference.

I like the design of the polestar one more. More sleek. The 2 just looks like a weird hatchback.

[LiohJuney]

What type of tech channel doesn't silence the wake word on there videos. It's been a known issue since the damn devices came out. Fix it

[kounteen]

for regular people with money but with out auto pilot like Tesla

[EthanStandel]

I was excited about this car until the VW ID.4 was announced. Very similar cars in most terms, but the ID.4 is way more reasonably priced.

Please learn smart assistant etiquette and do not say the phrases in the end video. You can either mute the words and show the text or seperate the words long enough so you don't set off everyone's devices.

wow. i really like it. Much more classic, classy, adult. Tesla = snarky weenie boy car
