I like EV's a lot (currently own 2)… rented a Polestar 2 for a week while traveling and really hated it. Felt super small inside and did not make good use of the interior space like most other EV's do. We had heard good things about Polestars and were surprised how much we didn't like it. It was such a treat to return home to our Bolt EUV.

Never heard of this company, is it reliable?
"Geely (Chinese automaker) says the company fully supports Polestar as an independent brand, giving the Chinese automaker a foothold in the United States. [B/]Volvo bought Polestar in 2015 and established the Gothenburg, Sweden-based brand two years later as a standalone performance electric vehicle manufacturer.[B/]". Volvo has plans to sell the rest of the 48% of Polestar to partner Geely since Polestar is not profiting as Volvo likes them to be.

What? They are the same size class and the only reason they are not the same price class is because the Tesla got cheaper over time.

I mean, this review directly nails the Model 3 as it's competition: https://www.topgear.com/car-reviews/polestar/2

They are both midsize AWD, 400-450hp sedans. The Polestar 2 is a lift back but that's just points to polestar.
There are many ways to slice it. The quality and technology for example Polestar is far superior.

FYI, Geely owns Volvo...

Is the $299/mo supposed to reflect on the available inventory page? Tried a couple locations and I see the high price for all of them.

Edit: read step 2. Looks like it won't reflect.

Quote from slick5150 :
Uhhh. No. They're owned by a massively large company, have a new model already out, another one just starting production and another that will be in production next year. They're doing just fine.

Maybe you're thinking of Fisker, who likely is going bankrupt unless someone rescues them very, very soon. Rivian's finances are also shaky but they're selling very well so I'm guessing will be ok too.
Uhhh, yes. I've been investing in the EV space for nearly a decade now so I'm very well aware of what I am talking about and am not confusing Fisker (another junk EV company) with Polestar.

"Massively large company."
Geely is a massively large auto company in China but not worldwide. BYD destroys Geely, no competition. BYD does over 3x the revenue Geely does and will grow far bigger than Geely while having better vehicles for the masses.

They only did $23 billion in revenue last year. That pales in comparison to the largest automakers. Toyota, for example, did $270 billion in revenue last year.




"They're doing just fine." Again, you have no numbers to back it up, I do.
Polestar only has $700 million in cash and is constantly raising new money through debt using heavy interest to sustain their business. That's only expected to last them a year or two at best.

Their revenue is as high as their COGS. That means just labor and materials to build the car is how much they're selling the vehicle for. No gross profit. Add in selling and operating costs and they're burning $200 million every quarter minimum.

They're unlikely to be profitable any time soon which is why Volvo reduced their holdings so that Geely can pay for it instead.

Only a matter of time before Geely realizes that Polestar is not competitive with BYD and Tesla and can't reasonably sustain the business.

Their vehicles are also priced at a premium at a time where EV sales are declining currently.

I'll give them 5 years before their company has going concern issues. Right now they're in a stage, like many other EV makers, where they have they are too deep into it to quit. Rivian and LUCID are two other companies. Can't and won't be profitable any time soon. Fisker is dead on arrival. Who else do we need to talk about here?

I compared both. The Polestar 2 is rather behind in technology. I can't argue quality, I'm no Tesla apologist, but the Polestar 2's infotainment is based on a 2018 Intel Atom, the Model 3 has a modern Ryzen cpu. The ADAS system in the Polestar has like 1/100th the performance of the Model 3's. The technology gap is huge sadly and was a driving force against my choice to buy it…the software was just slow.
The Polestar 3 corrects both of these, but that isn't the Polestar 2. They are the same category. The Model 3 is faster and has better tech, the Polestar is better made.

The new Model 3 makes it much closer but then throws the whole thing in the trash by not having turn signal stalks lol. I'm not saying the Tesla is better, I'm simply saying that the two have great reasons why one may buy one over the other and it isn't nearly black and white.

I am only seeing -7500 clean incentives in my area, instead of 10K. Anyone seeing the same?

Quote from duijver :
I might get some flak for this question, but are there legit options for charging these outside of the house?

How long does charging take at one of those shopping centers - assuming that these even support those EV charging stations? What do you do if you need to go on a roadtrip that is 150 miles each way?

Yeah, the clear answer is probably that gas powered cars are the answer or use this as a second car.
If you plan to charge outside the house, or want an EV for roadtrips, then you want an EV with a native NACS connector. Not J1772/CCS combo connector. Not sure if Polestar has made the transition to native NACS connector yet. Or if they still have the J1772/CCS combo connector that will become obsolete in 2025 as every US EV switches over to NACS standard and Supercharger network.

I'm going to be in the market for a third car as my kids are starting to drive. Hadn't expected to lease an EV but all these deals are luring me in.

don't get your kid an EV. Insurance will be really high to repair these things.
