A guy in neighborhood (When i lived in the city) had a Polestar 1...At the time it was 1 of 4 in the area according to him. (it was the only one I've seen around here still to the day) They just look mean and beefy. Owner said he loved the car but glitchy as hell and they had to fly a specific mechanic in from NYC to do warranty/service work on it. This was a few years ago. So I hope they have trained some more techs by now.

As you can see from this thread, I had a Polestar 2, it was a pretty amazing car from a driver and performance perspective, absolutely blazing performance, and really good ride. Software was it's biggest drawback, as well as lack of service centers (only three in California). My experience with Polestar was generally good, but I would be reluctant to get another one. If I did, it would only be a lease

My lease on my 2nd Polestar 2 is up in Sept.
As I stated before, still really enjoying this car. Again, great build quality and the performance is fantastic.
The Polestar 4 is a serious consideration when my lease is up.

were the polestar service centers within Volvo dealerships? Or were they standalone.

In NJ, they are @ Volvo dealerships.
For instance, near me, Polestar of Short Hills, uses service center of Prestige Volvo.

As mentioned, Volvo dealerships. In the Bay area they use the Volvo dealership in Palo Alto and Marin, in LA it's Galpin Volvo

I absolutely loved my P2, was willing to buy out the lease, but they wanted way, way too much money ($38k buyout). I even forgave the buggy software. The charging curve also sucked
