I own a Polestar 2. Only one in Oregon thus far. I love it! I can't wait for the phone app update!

The turn signal felt like a bug to me. Everyone in my family commented on it. I really liked the car when I drove it though. Lots of great feel.

I thought I recognized you from somewhere ! The Air Canada 787 video . I fly that for a living . Thanks for another review on the PS 2 . I’m going to try to arrange a test drive in Toronto . May be my next car and first EV .

So Subaru had it right long ago with the outback sedan

I wonder how those two up-facing AC vents will do in the summer. I like the vents pointed right at me, versus ambient air. And only 1 cupholder won't work for many people. Otherwise, seems like a great car.

Hope you can test drive the new Ford Mach E, but if you have a electric car, are you dare to drive for a road trip to Kelowna ? Only tesla build super charge every 200 kilometers. Other you need to look on the map and hope the charge station work properly. I will give another 4-5 year to consider if electric car is the only vehicle for the house.
I hope polestar make suv type which is more ideal these day, family person does not like sedan.

Since Polestar (and Volvo) are 100% Chinese, should I be concerned about my privacy when it comes to their electric cars? So can the Chinese government listen in and/or watch and analyze the data dump from the car?

Great review and you got me interested in the car! The only thing that bugs me is the lack of a badge on the front grille as it makes it look like a generic looking “NPC” (non-playable car) in a racing game.

After seeing Tesla's for so long, I felt like I was playing an Atari when watching you show this car's interior.

Well you got the range all wrong so thumbs down from me.
$5000 for a performance package that's only about the shocks cause braking is a none issue with regen so bigger, fancier brakes are just not needed. The fact that it takes a wrench to change the shock setting is very odd in this day and age as everyone else in this class does it with a switch. Dumb!
Poor range and very expensive makes it a no buy.
A Tesla SR+ is over 20 grand cheaper, has better range and is faster plus a charging network that can't be beaten.
It's not even a contest!

interior looks really cheap, esp for a 70k car
