I was on my way to meet my cabling guy at our other building, road was clear, decided to do a 50 to 80 mph pull. Looks drama free, but as it pulls you can feel yourself getting lightheaded

6 months and counting before lease ends. I've been seeing more of them on the road, which is very encouraging, it looks like the Costco lease deal is working somewhat

Just picked up my 2024 Polestar 2 Magnesium with leather, Pilot and Plus packs, 12k miles, 27 mos lease MSRP $64,150

$1500 put of pocket AND multiple security deposits x 10 (which reduced monthly payment by $49)







monthly payments are now $456
my 2021 was $710/month

congrats MDlexus!

so i just looked at polestar.com for the first time, and i can't really tell the difference between 2, 3, and 4

all look sort of hatchbacky suv things? why is the 4 so much cheaper than the 2?

throw me a bone.

The P2 and P4 have different specs, the P2 being a smaller fastback and P4 is listed as a Performance SUV. The P4 is $10k more than the P2:

P2





P4





The P3 is listed as a luxury SUV, it competes with the Porsche Macan EV and the EQS SUV

Actually the larger P3 is supposed to compete with Cayenne.
The smaller P4 to compete with Macan and as Amirza786 stated will cost more than P2, but less than P3.

On another note, besides having more power than my 2021, I believe the suspension has been improved as well.

I test drove the 2023, and it definitely had vast improvements, including suspension. Seeing more of them on the road, I'm hoping the lease deals lead to better adoption

Congrats, MDpolestar
I still like mine but very unlikely to replace it with another Polestar

I still love mine and with the significant savings over my 2021 it was a no brainer for me.
