This looks so much better than the Model 3 imo.

[scorpionz]

this is a gorgeous car, volov/polestar are doing fantastic things as of late

"It's the first electric car to be based on android."
So I guess we can unlock the bootloader on this thing and mess around with custom roms.

Volvo are smashing it, They've always been comfortable cars but their brand image screams premium in comparison to older models.

Finally car interiors are Vegan, so i can eat my seat-belt.

Sorry the 5.1 second 0-60 time you quoted for the model 3 is for the RWD version. The AWD variant you referred to does 0-60 in 4.5 seconds.

Whoa the Polestar 1 from 5:01 is stunning

[kzanbusiness]

@3:54 - it is designed to be an affordable car.

It costs 60K - affordable for whom ?

[AllPr]

This looks like there is finally a serious competitor to the model 3.

Saw the Polestar 2 in person yesterday. It really is a beautiful, excellently designed car. If I had the money, I’d order one in a heartbeat.

The first competitor for Model 3. Didn't expect it to be a Volvo, but what do you know...

You didn’t mention that Polestar strategically arranged the batteries so the occupants can place their feet lower down. Had they used the skateboard design like Tesla you’d be sitting with your knees up, which is less comfortable.

This is what BMW could have brought to the market after the i3 and i8, instead of basically stagnatjng like they've done since...

[emonkey]

hats off for elon and tesla for pretty much single-handedly starting the race towards a more eco friendly future with their cars and batteries. it's a bit sad tho since we stray further away from old school cars and driving which i really enjoy

[isrealdiaz]

LMAO he killed me when he looked dead at the camera and said "you can get actual leather, if you have a heart of stone" 😂😂😭😭
