Every attribute you just got done gushing about will be lessened.

I do have a set of PSAS4, but they're my winters, so I can make the drive not completely suck during the part of the year when riding on summers would be fatal. But in warmer weather there's no comparison between those and the PS4S that the car came with.

You gotta pay to play.
Absolutely true!

Maybe as a collectible, but other than that, no thanks

If one of us as an individual could actually buy one for $14k, we'd own an Ocean for what the first nine months of a Polestar 3 lease would cost ($6799 down plus $799/mo). If the thing even makes it a year, you win. I would 100% take that bet.

I like the new wheels. What has your efficiency been like so far?

Terrible at full throttle blasts...

Seriously, the wheels are not my favorite, but are growing on me. They are lightweights. I am from the 60's; chrome and silver alloys rule.
I cannot speak to efficiency, beyond Tesla is pretty good at it.

I am really happy with this car. It is really good.
