We drive around a bit, and I don't like how it drive, we also compare to 2020 M3 side by side, I think the 2020 version built better or maybe just me.

Like you said, Tesla charging network miles ahead of EA, hard to go with different car.
I Actually meant base rwd. One time I drove my brother in law's M3, he had it in "Chill Mode" which takes the fun out of it. He doesn't mind it because he came from a hybrid, which he drove in Eco mode. I didn't realize that and thought something was wrong from the last time I drove it. Put it back in Normal, and everything was good again 😀

I get what you are saying. For me it fits the bill, although I would get the M3P personally

They sell mostly in Europe where they are more popular (because of their association with Volvo). That being said, there are a good number of them scattered all over the US. They have sold over 100k models and are projected to sell 80,000 by Q4 of this year. I run into a lot of owners at DC fast chargers when traveling. I also have a few friends that own them

Oh don't worry man, I get it. He's just looking for more content in this thread, so here we go! This is probably one of the most honest reviews of a Polestar 2. And although I haven't experienced the issues he mentions (one which he caused himself), some of what he talks about is why my next car is going to be a Tesla

The Polestar 1, the car that started it all. Chris Harris talks about his ownership of this rare car

If you've had enough of Polestar's the solution is super simple don't open this thread anymore.

The 3 different rage estimate thing is odd, otherwise I thought his criticisms were kinda overblown.

Definitely doesn't match my experience. I've posted my figures already which average from 0.32 kW to 0.36 kW per mile

I've only seen 1 Polestar 1 in person and I thought it looked fantastic. They should bring it back as a full EV

The Polestar 1 is what hooked me to the brand. When I heard they were bringing a lower price fully EV P2, I was excited! And yes, they should bring it back, it looks way better than the P2

Did a rude or personal comment get deleted because nothing is show here to indicate otherwise?

This thread is about Polestar and hasn't gone off topic, so it stays open.

If anything else comes up offensive, then report it again.

Also insane that it has a longer wheelbase than the XC90/EX90... very weird positioning.

I'm sure it has cameras to compensate. No rear window is not a deal breaker to me. Price would be. Owning a Polestar over a year, it's a great car and company where the cars can only get better

The Polestar 4 looks sickkkkk inside and out. And starting price doesn’t seem too bad either. It looks to me like they’ve got a winner on their hands. I feel like the Polestar 3 is way too expensive for what it is, especially now compared to the P4.
