Polestar has the best looking EVs on the market - great design.

A lot of EV-specific things were left out. ADAS was mentioned for a split second—more on that please. What about the navigation system and its ability to get you to a charger before losing all your state of charge? (Eg, accurate estimation of state of charge loss.) Where and how do you charge? What about battery conditioning? Is there a pet mode or way to keep the AC running? Cameras to show your blindspot before changing lanes? You mentioned the seat/steering wheel adjustments were fiddly, but is that information saved for each driver, or does it have to be repeated manually each time you change drivers? Software is so critical in new cars—especially in EVs—and many reviewers are giving it minimal attention.

I'd love to know if the 360 camera comes up alongside the backup camera when you put it in reverse. This is a feature I've come to love in my Mach-E and don't want to lose it in the next car. I know the Polestar 2 only shows a radar image above the backup cam, it doesn't show the full 360 camera.

What colours are the vehicles in this drive?

The voice command can make massage activation really simple.

From the looks of it (front fascia), it’s more like look out Fisker…and Cadillac. 👀

How do they compete on price with Tesla?

Geez talk about lack of passion. Why even do this if you don’t even act excited?

Really? It looks plug ugly compared to the Macan EV
