Test drove all three. It was the i4 edrive 40 that I ended up ordering. I tested the M50 as well, but the car’s character and drivetrain felt mismatched. I loved the Polestar’s simplicity, but the controversial styling, range and driving dynamics where right up my alley with the BMW. The Tesla was… meh.

I test drove the three of them and ended up with the BMW i4 edrive 40. I'm not a big, tall person. Both Polestar and then also Volvo of course, has always been a hassle for me to make comfortable in driving. I did not get an inch of the feeling described in the test. Instead I found it harder to look through the rear window compared to the BMW and had not a nice driving position regardless how I changed chair and steering wheel. It did not respond at all in the same way as the BMW. When I went from the Polestar to the BMW it did not take many minutes before I shouted "THIS is the car". Perfect driving position and view, perfect feeling and response when driving it and also longer range. Tesla did not have that quality and felt off in comparison too and lacked the HUD that really worked for me. For me the choice was easy... BMW :).

The whole point of Tesla’s existence is to produce the maximum amount of cars in the least amount of time. Without doing that, the goal of transitioning to sustainable energy fails. In order to do that, however, you need to be appealing *enough*, in many *different* areas to ensure *maximum* demand. So you do that by making an inoffensive, enjoyable, practical, *relatively* cheap car. That’s why options are limited and the design is only decent enough. At the same time, Tesla the company, need to maximise profits so they can continue to churn out more factories, to churn out more cars, to replace more ice vehicles on the road. A lot of people don’t, won’t, or can’t see it: it’s a literal example of programming in reality - like playing a game of Factory (I made that game title up in my head but I’m sure it exists somewhere). It’s pretty damn impressive that a start up, that is so focused on software and mass manufacturing, have much such and fun to drive, fun to own, practice and technologically advance car. Let along the *margins* they are making on it. Something that even experienced OEMs (and other startups) are struggling to achieve.

Test drove all three, ordered the Polestar Performance Pack and will add the 75HP upgrade OTA. Why? Most attractive design (by far) inside and out. Great performance, firm but extremely controlled drive on the limit. What could be better? BMW has more tactile ride, better build quality, better materials but I can't live with newly over-designed iDrive (having owned 10 BMW's ranging from 2002 to F80 M3). The Tesla is just beyond boring, and frankly I still don't understand how you get a type rating for a car that has no instrument binnacle or HUD for the driver and forces you to look at a centrally mounted screen every 10 seconds to do ANYTHING. Supercharger network is opening up for all EV's worldwide and Ionity et al. are pushing sites out fast so that argument will be gone by the time you get your car :)

Testdrove all three of them. Each of them has their pros and cons but in the end, BMW i4 M50 was just so awesome driving experience and quality was top notch. I ended up ordering one

I test drove both the i4 edrive40 and the Polestar 2 dual motor today. I went out expecting to love and order the Polestar. In the end it was a surprisingly easy decision to put an order in for the i4. Quite surprisingly so. Reasons are threefold. Firstly, I just couldn't get to grips with the ergonomics of the Polestar. That central console is so high, the crease on the side panel was permanently scratching my knee and the driving position just felt too high. I fiddled with the setting numerous times to try and get comfortable, but I just couldn't. When I got back to the test drive centre, my minder asked me how it had gone. I pointed to the scratch-crease on the central console and she nodded knowingly and we amicably parted company. If I had been wearing shorts, rather than jeans, I suspect It would have been many times worse. Secondly, the drive. Sure the Polestar is faster in a drag race, but the overall drive felt sterile and frankly a little dulling to the sense. In the I4, I felt that I was driving a car, it had the driver feedback of a BMW and plenty enough power at the points you wanted it. The handling is top draw, the acceleration when moving from slow to fast speed is stunning and the steering and cornering feel outclassed the Polestar on every level, regardless of Polestar steering setting. The lower seating position and sportier gate also meant that everything felt ergonomically in the right place. Finally, and this may seem trite, I am an iPhone user. When I asked to connect my phone in the i4 test-drive, it was a one minute wireless connection - the phone went onto the charging pad and everything worked. Even apple maps was rendered in the i4 dashboard fascia in place of the BMW map when in use. In the polestar, I was told that I'd need to connect with a cable to use it. (Really! - in 2022!) So the phone would be charging with a naff cable hanging about whilst probably sitting on the unutilised charging pad. WTF. Now sure, Google is a great OS and if I was a google user; if my company was not an Apple shop through and through and if my car wasn't; also my mobile office when travelling, then this wouldn't matter. But I am and it really does. Car companies that think their brands are bigger than users choice of mobile technology need to learn that when they purity test their customers, they put half of the market offside. BMW got this years ago and when it comes to mobile tech, it seems everyone's welcome and fully embraced and integrated. That's worth a premium for me. I so wanted to like the polestar more than I did. There are some great things about it and sure, the tech load vs price point makes it prima-face a better buy. But the compromises in comfort, drive and integration with my life are just too great.

BMW for me. Probably because I have just ordered one!

15:35 The Polestar doesn't have a dedicated EV platform. It sits on the same platform as the Volvo XC40 which is a ICE platform that also fits hybrids and EVs just like the CLAR platform the i4 is build on.

The point of the grand coupe is the styling of a coupe for people who need rear doors and to be able to actually carry big things in the boot. Plus, you can turn the noise off.

Polestar 2 FTW! The Polestar 2 seems to be the better *car* in general. Range and charging speed are more than good enough for daily commutes and errands. Sure, the Tesla is better for road trips (longer range, faster charging, and the SuperCharger network) but I do that at most once a year. Two of the things not liked about the Polestar in the review were directly related to an optional pack (Performance Pack) so skip that pack to save $5000 and subtract two "cons" from the review. I've had my Polestar 2 Launch Edition (without the Performance Pack) for 8 months and I smile looking at and driving it every time.

Very happy with my Polestar 2 Launch Model (both option packs but no performance pack) with the 480bhp software upgrade. Done 20k miles already and its been bullet proof reliable. Its a miles better product overall than the Model 3 I had before.

Surely if the I4 is criticised for being a ICE platform the polestar has the same issue - it is based on the XC40 platform - hence why it has a transmission tunnel??

The Polestar2 is not built on a dedicated EV platform, it built on the Volvo CMA platform, like BMW it's also used for ICE vehicles. It's an EV XC40.

Well done reviews. Love my 2021 Polestar 2 launch edition (Plus, Pilot required in launch edition), no performance pack. I look for every excuse to drive it.

Great review! Ordering an i4 not only because of driving dynamics but also because of wireless Apple car play.

We have ordered the BMW i4 (M50) after extensive test drives in the BMW and Polostar. In 2019 I enjoyed driving a Tesla M3 for a year. Then a year in a Volvo XC40 T5 Recharche, many similarities with the Polestar. The Tesla and Polestar are both fine cars, but personally I do not understand the preference for the Polestar. We found the finish and material use of the Polestar significantly less (premium) than the BMW. Another advantage of the BMW is that it can be made more to your own taste. The Polestar and Tesla have (much) fewer options/packages compared to the BMW. I also don't understand why the i4 40 is preferred over the M50. Yes the BMW i4 40 is lighter and cheaper than the M50. On winding country roads, being lighter is an advantage, but on the highways or while overtaking the extra power is very nice. In addition, four-wheel drive has the advantage of extra grip and therefore safety. In short, unfortunately I do not share any conclusions but I liked the review.

Not sure why Volvo felt the need to create a separate brand to sell EVs under. Volvo is as big of a name around the world as BMW. BMW knows their name will sell electric cars.

🤣 26:09 cigarette butt gets dropped. 26:45 cigarette butt gets bored and f**ks off. Great review though. I watched every review on these 3 cars over the last year, and finally decided on the i4. The familiarity was a winner for me and the wife, and the hatchback, the range, the towing, the styling, the handling. The whole package suits us. I think the i4 is the more competant car overall. The others have very good points, but the package as a whole goes to BMW. Ordered mine last week. 😊

So the three old amigos preferred the volvo. That's a shocker.

Great video. The BMW and the Polestar look like they have true luxury car interiors. The Tesla, at the price point it's at, looks cheap on the inside, which is disappointing when you spend that kind of money on a car. I'm also not a fan of having to use the glued on iPad to do everything, or even something as basic as my speed; seems much safer to just glance down than to my left (or right in the US). Heads up displays are the best (like the i4) - I have one in my ICE Audi and now I hate not having it when I drive my wife's Range Rover. By the way, as someone in the US, I always get a chuckle out of hearing people from the UK refer to cars as "saloons." :)

Polestar 2 is such a good car, I have own one since desember and I love to drive it 😎 the whole car is assome. Thanks for a interesting film 👍

The Volvo will definitely appeal to old men as it always has. The screen looks like those mobile phones with the huge buttons for less nimble fingers. My elderly parents like the Volvo (Polestar), my teenage son likes the Tesla, and being the middle-aged one who's actually more likely to buy one of these, it's the BMW for me.

The front of the Tesla reminds me of the 1980's Chrysler Neon.

Remember that there are several states in the USA where you do not need to have a license plate on the front of the car. Then the design might look a little different

BMW is the car you get for the driver, the other 2 is for other people as well. I care about what the car is like for me the driver. That’s why I have an i4 on order 😂

What I find strange about all of these reviews is how people disregard the ride - which is an incredibly important part of the comfort of any car. Also the size. Has anyone seen how large and wide the Polestar is? It feels like you need a disabled bay or a mum and kids bays just to park it somewhere. It’s an interesting design and I like that they are doing something different. My view : Tesla - fast, less refined chassis, not enough customisation options and very bland generic styling especially at the front. No hatchback which is a major letdown for me. Polestar : interesting design, nice interior apart from the door card design, over large and wide in my view fir this segment but good value. Good compromise car. BMW: incredible ride quality, far better than Tesla or Polestar, engaging drive, but slightly fussy design inside and out and not actually as elegant as the old GranCoupe ( which I have 440i). Think I will hang onto my car a bit longer as I’m not convinced we are in the sweet spot for electric vehicles yet. BMW is a great car but just not that much better than my current car which is prettier, slightly more practical, better size and cheaper. So will wait this one out

It was funny to see the switch from BMW to Tesla in the driving part...the entire picture from the camera is shaking...seems to be a harsh ride

I purchased the i4 40. I love it.

Great comprehensive review. Coming from a C-Class, test drove the Tesla and Polestar (ordered a Model Y) and here is why. The ergonomics in Polestar are the poorest of the 3 especially in the front. A lot of things are placed just a touch out of comfortable reach. For example, you only have on one cup holder up front (nothing for your passenger) that is placed too far back so it is awkwardly hard to reach your hot coffee mug while driving. You have the bend your arm back to grab your cup. The way the centre tunnel slopes up really high to meet the dash also means that your inner knee is cramped especially if taller. You can’t really rest your knee to the side comfortably. That centre tunnel also makes the front cabin feel quite cramped compared to the Tesla or BMW. The main screen is too far forward meaning you have to turn your heads a touch more than in the other two. All things that with prolonged use I felt would be quite annoying. Build quality is definitely great and love the styling (those rear lights are so good) but seeing as you spend more time inside than looking at the outside the ergonomics for me were a big deal.

I initially found the ride of the Polestar 2 too firm for all the blemishes on the road. Then I asked the dealer to soften them on the Performance Pack, since most roads are NOT a racetrack. The dampers on the Polestar 2 can be softened to ride like a very smooth luxury car. If they are adjusted at the dealership, you will never need to touch them yourself. The ride is really comfy when the dampers are softened to their max and once that is done, this car is hard to ignore!

Loved the old BMWs and drove BMW since a decade but the newer models are overstyled completely. And I think overpriced as well. Switching to Polestar next week.

I have a 2020 Tesla Model 3 and am looking to change. Test driving the i4 next week. The Tesla has been good, but I am getting bored by the poor workmanship and dreadful adaptive cruise, wipers, lights etc. It's also rattly and crashes over the poor country roads where I live. I'm looking for something a bit more refined. I'm less worried about performance as the Tesla is just too quick, and I end up driving like an idiot.

I’ve had a Polestar 2 now for 2 years (everything on it apart from the Performance Pack, which really doesn’t add anything meaningful) and would totally agree with this review. Love the car to bits!

Hi Fellas, Firstly, thank you for your brilliant in depth review, enjoyed the pros and cons of each car that you all highlighted and it is good to listen to a review which has three different presenters. I test drive the Tesla Model 3 standard car and then a few weeks later I took a BMW i4 40 M Sport out for a drive. I did look at the Polestar online and spec one up and the car did catch my eye over the Tesla, I did not test drive as I could not get a part exchange on my current BMW i3, not something Polestar accommodate apparently? Long story short I signed up for a 4 month old BMW i4 M Sport demonstrator (2,086 miles on the odo) with numerous packs added for £10.5k off list price at the weekend in my favourite colour Portimao Blue. To really add the cherry on top of the cake my trade in value was £4.5k better than I received from Tesla so financially made much more sense for me. I was also concerned about the constant almost weekly Tesla price reductions then increases which as a buyer would infuriate me as I would feel I was being ripped off and don’t even get me thinking about the future residual values. So on hindsight I should have given the Polestar a test drive and more of a chance but I was not prepared to faff about trying to sell my BMW i3 to an online company like Motorway, WBAC, etc for a fraction of its worth just because Polestar’s business model does not include trade ins. In summary Tesla was not an option, Polestar has that great Scandinavian look and feel and as an ex Volvo owner I like the styling but the BMW won out for me, I just wanted to drive it and enjoy the experience. Best wishes everyone

Wow, what a genius! A button to adjust the suspension! Brilliant!

Polestar for me too. I tried them all and ended up getting a Polestar and I'm on week 3 and love it. I agree with some comments that the center console design / lack of storage is the weak point. If they fixed that I wouldn't have a single bad thing to say. Also for those not a fan of the taller stance, you can get lowering springs for the Polestar and the pics I've seen looks amazing. I'm tempted myself to do it.

I've been a BMW driver for many years. Currently own a 530d and it's a great car, but want to make the transition to EV. Test drove the i4 eDrive 40 and M50 a few weeks ago and loved them both, but like your review, preferred the 40. Then test drove the Polestar 2 dual motor at the weekend, was so impressed, I came back home and ordered one. When I weighed up the pro's and con's of i4 v Polestar, the Polestar for me offered better value for money. The time you added the extras to the BMW to get anywhere near to what i'm currently driving, the overall cost of motoring was significantly higher than what i'm paying now, even with the high fuel prices.Tesla just don't do it for me, so not even considered.

I think Model 3 looks like a Porsche 911 made in to a sedan but whatevs🤷🏾‍♂️

The Tesla 3 looks nice from behind if you stand, for example, 20 meters from it. Even some young women apparently agree with me

Drove every EV out there in the last 4 months. Overall look, needs, and the stares never stop in my Polestar 2. I’m in Florida. No one gives a Tesla a second look. They’re like cabs here. The beemer has kidneys fit for the Jolly Green Giant. Just waiting for bhp bump here in the US. Polestar FTW. Biased ? Hell yes !

Polestar for me. I ordered one this past Tuesday. Should be delivered in June.

Pretty soon, this great review will need to be updated with the Ioniq 6 Sedan. And Polestar has done a nice improvement for MY24 in range, power and charging speed. And BMW has the eDrive35, slightly more reasonably priced. Good competition!

i4 all the way lads.....cmon....tesla boring inside and out......Polestar is MEH

Ionic 5 AWD ultimate in Lucid Blue + a brand new set of golf clubs.I week in Portugal golfing and a new OLED 65 tv.Upgrade the HiFi system and maybe treat myself to a new top of the range BBQ. Also great to know you have the best car+ all the other goodies for less than the opposition in this video. Keep up the great work guys🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇬🇧👍

The bonnet line thingy cracked me up. That's exactly what I was thinking when I looked at the car :-).

Great review and comparison. This is one I’ve been looking forward to, and it did not disappoint! Thank you!

C'mon gents. If you want to be taken seriously as a review channel, you have to get your sound sorted. The wind noise is one thing, but your levels were all over the place. It is hard to enjoy the content and get sticky viewers when you allow such problems to go uncorrected in the final product.

Every EV bought is a win in my book. The Tesla is becoming very very popular/ common these days and with good reason, the running costs are minute, they just make sense. I know 3 local mini cab drivers using Model 3’s and 1 guy with a model Y, are they set to become the new mini cab standard!? Hardly good for office or golf club car park bragging rights, fear not though the BMW cost the most, has poor range and will be built in such small numbers that exclusively is assured.

Thanks for the reviews, I am having an i4 delivered next week which I’m looking forward to, just a comment on the comparison, both the Tesla and Polestar tested were both dual motor, whereas the bmw was a single motor, the review feels a little unfair as it’s not quite comparing apples with apples. Clearly the bmw competes with both of the others which is good to hear. I test drove the polestar and the game changer for me was the stupid centre console which I kept banging my knee on, I also didn’t feel like the interior had the same quality as the i4, I also messed with the google assistant which failed to find my nearest charging station. I love the look of the polestar so I was a little bit disappointed in those game changing points. The Tesla was never an option for me, too many around, I’ve heard too many people complaining about the build quality. But again thanks for your review it’s been very informative

You don't get Gran Coupe? It's just a hatchback shape. Mondeo hatchbacks were the best why BMW have struggled with them is a surprise.

I wish that BEV automakers would put a full-size spare wheel/tire in the frunk of every vehicle...

Technically speaking the apostrophes in the title of this video are correct, but look odd as no-one else apostrophises 'vs'.

Polestar 2 is beautiful. Like Night Rider's 'Kit' for a modern day.

I've just ordered the i4, Polestar was lovely great quality feel but I thought it was a relatively poor driving experience compared to the i4, tesla felt cheap, what you guys are calling simplicity I felt was just a lack of good ergonomics, I hated the fact I have to constantly take my eye off the road to do anything with the randomly placed iPad, nice acceleration though, I'd struggle to design an uglier car. A great video though guys.

Just put down a deposit on a dealerships test model I4. Get to drive it home July 31.

You think tesla is boring and not evolving as it’s been out 5 years. Not there fault it took bmw 5 years to catch up ha

The wind noise is so irritating that I can't continue...

Thank you, good sirs. After months of reading and watching videos I was still undecided between the i4 and the P2, but your analysis and arguments (and friendly disposition) have done it. I'll go with the P2. Best YT comparative review I've seen. :-)

The Tesla reminds me of the ugly Chrysler Neon that was sold here in the late 90’s

Tesla = built in China. Polestar = built in China. BMW = built in Germany. Now, I have nothing against Chinese laborers of am I claiming there's anything wrong with 'Made in China' quality. However, we have to decide where we want our money to go. Do you, as a customer, want to support well paid labor in the local European region, or do you want to support the loss of European jobs, in favor of outsourcing jobs to low paid employees in China helping to facilitate more of your money going to executives and shareholders instead of workers? I mean, if you're splitting hairs to decide which car is the best car... I think this is actually a very important thing that everyone should consider. You remove good paying jobs from your region's workers and replace them with lower paid workers and more money funneling up to the ultra wealthy, and what happens if other companies follow suit, and where does that eventually and ultimately leave you? As to the review... The cockpit... I think Bryan is being way too nice to the Polestar interior... oddly so in fact. The wrap around cockpit and the oddly large center console is something I've seen the most complaints about this car. They say the vehicle feels less spacious and more claustrophobic . IMO, the P2's front center console is one of the worst designs I've ever seen for accessibility in ANY car. Why is the gear selector blocking the buttons and volume knob that are in front of it? It's even close to blocking the bottom part of the screen. Why is the gear selector so large and taking up so much space with nothing else around it, even though it's in the center of that super wide center console? You can see this specifically when Bryan is pointing out the buttons and volume knob in front of the shifter and he has to arch his wrist over the gear select to reach them. They could have moved the gear selector over a couple of inches and fit two full size cup holders next to it, or moved it forward, lifted the screen a bit, and put the controls next to it. Speaking of cupholders, Bryan mentioned there was only one cup holder in the P2... but seems to have glanced over where it's located, where the second is located, and why it's a major design problem. Only one is accessible, and it's right in front of the armrest, so if you're resting your arm on the arm rest and have a large drink in the cupholder, the drink will obstruct the space for your arm / hand. Where's the other cupholder you may ask, since Bryan strangely didn't mention it. It's INSIDE the armrest. That's right, you actually have to flip open the armrest and leave it open to have access to the second cup holder. I imagine these guys didn't drive with a passenger, where each person in the front seats has their own drink. Who in their right mind designed this, and why haven't they been fired yet? There's also minimal storage space in that center console. What if you just want to plop down your keys or wallet for a second. Where do you put it? It really has me scratching my head how Bryan can claim this is the best interior. Bjorn has driven this car multiple times, and he's not a big dude, and has said it feels less roomy than the other cars due to the sheer size of that center console and how it messes with your leg room. I mean, maybe you like the controls and infotainment a bit better, but I find it hard to believe anyone can think that's the best interior. Otherwise, I'm sure all 3 infotainment systems are solid. The Tesla certainly is easy, but loads of people who own that vehicle say they'd still prefer a driver's cluster or HUD, which both the P2 and i4 have. As to power, when comparing the BMW against the Tesla, the Tesla has three trims. The BMW sits between the model 3 SR+ (RWD) and the model 3 LR (AWD). It has more range than the model 3 SR+ and faster acceleration. Versus the model 3 LR, the Tesla is AWD and is faster 0-60, but the WLTP range is nearly identical. BTW, I would never option the i4 40 with the sports package if I cared about price; I think it's a huge waste of money with no real benefit; save for the fact that you need it to get the adaptive suspension. Personally, I'd go without the adaptive suspension if it requires the sports package. As to pros and cons... "Packaging compromised by ICE platform" isn't a con. lol. If you have an issue with the packaging, list the issue. For example, you could say "it doesn't have a rear flat floor and a frunk". Neither of which is really that big of a negative... but you can certainly point those out. I'm amazed that in your pros/cons section, you didn't list the BMW and Polestar hatchbacks as a pro, and the Tesla's trunk as a con. There's a whole other level of utility that you can get from a car with a hatchback that you simply cannot get out of a car with a hatch. A hatch actually allows the sedan to replace a CUV as one's only car. The first time a person tries to stick a box into the model 3 that won't fit through the trunk opening, they'll suddenly understand why a hatch is worth the extra money. I don't really understand what "radical" design you think the iX has that the i4 doesn't have. They literally have the exact same infotainment systems and i-drive. What do you want BMW to change exactly? Do you want them to change their interior just for the sake of changing their interior? The question isn't "did they do something unique". It's did they build a solid electric car that's fully functional and easy to use. This just leaves me scratching my head. It's like reviewers these days don't know how to compare cars. "It's not different enough" doesn't actually say anything. You have to say what you want to be different. Now, if you want to say the interior is too busy, or you don't like the infotainment system, then say that... don't say "the design isn't radical enough".

Was that a $70k Tesla or a $30k Mazda 3?

Tesla got lazy and allowed the big car makers to catch up. Now their poor manufacturing and assembly processes and lack of chassis design experience is going to bite them in the ass.

Hi guys I was just scrolling u tube and guess what I say u guys then I thought I should watch it and boy u guys really impressed me a lot I really liked ur presentation simplicity knowledge I couldn't stop myself from subscribing ur chennel I hope I can see more future content on ur chennel too love and greetings from Toronto Canada and my pic would be bmw not bcoz I have a current G80 m3 comp xdrive but I m hardcore bmw fan boy cheers

I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder. to me the i4 is the best looking inside and out. #2 Tesla. Though it's " minimalistic approach" to the interior is just brilliantly lazy just like the exterior they haven't change it and how many years now?? And #3 polestar. Can't find anything to like about it.... Maybe the price?

Give it a few years and see which has aged more, also watch depreciation. I bet the Tesla will hold its value by a long way

absolutely disagree on tesla being disconnected from the driver. if anything it is a go-kart, super planted, super responsive (maybe even over responsive) and always goes exactly in the direction you point it. i'd like more bucket shaped seats and a bit better ride quality, but from connection with the driver perspective the tesla actually should be number one. and i do know because i have both the i4 m50 and the m3p

A reasonable review, needs some improvement in presentation and sound , it also won’t on a bit . 🇬🇧👍🤣

Im a volvo fan boy and have reviewed the Polestar 2 on my channel and also the model Y so my assumption is the Polestar is the one I'd pick as the bmw seats are too hard.

Polestar wins and dam it’s a hot car might get one .

How about 1959 Cadillac Tailfins on the Model 3? That would be a styling change. Model 3 looks good, why make everybody's older Model 3's look dated? Change for changes sake?

Anybody driven the Polestar Performance in the manually adjustable Comfort setting and if so what's it like?

This review had all the excitement of a 1970s Open University geography lesson. Anyway, my wife got the Model 3 Long Range in June and loves it. Range, comfort, simplicity and tech are great. Based on our experience, I’ve just taken delivery of the Model Y as nothing comes close, in terms of space, performance and economy. Very happy indeed with the Teslas and I’ve come from a range of new BMWs and Audis in recent years.

I feel like I can grate a cheese on that BMW grill, it is too big and ugly. Lots of people like the Tesla design? Wrong!! That design will never change, it will be the same in 2035.. Polestar is the best looking car out of the 3.

i4 all the way

Great review thanks. Again, I suggest you try and place a camera behind your shoulder, or on the passenger side window facing the dash to offer a variety of views. I appreciate this would entail more editing work but worth it.

you can set how sporty you want the steering to feel on the Tesla

Time for Tesla to have a full remodel

I4 all day.

Great review guys, have to agree with all your comments about the styling of these.

I don’t get why an EV needs to shout “I am high tec” with it’s design language. The black gurneys flaps next to the kidney of the BMW are no fakery, they guide the air to the air curtain. The polestar is beautiful, but “revolutionary design”?!?! Isn’t it just a modern interpretation of an S60? By the way, why does no one complains about the Polestar having a “grill” but about the Beamer having kidneys?

I have tested a few electric cars; Hyundai and Kia, ok cars but don't seem worthy of the price tag; Porsche Taycan, fabulous but too much for me by the time it was specked up; Tesla Model 3 great car but has no soul, reminded me of my washing machine in being great at the function but that is it; EQC (Mercedes) great but range and battery too small, old tech for a very high price point, and then the i4, which in balance was the best of all. In black it looked great and disguised the buck teeth nicely, great tech, great range and felt like quality, so that is the one I have ordered. I wanted to try a Polestar but I live in Inverness and they are the only company who have no presence up here and no test drives. I would have to drive to Glasgow, for the privilege. Tesla, although they are not here visit regularly and a test drive is easy, so Polestar did not get considered.

It's a shame that these cars fronts are spoiled by the big car tags.

Test drove all of them, ended with the i4 edrive40.. the only thing I feel it looses to the others is rear seat space, everything else, no comparison really...

on a ni electric car, the navigator is probably important that it provides accurate and correct information. the purpose of it is also for you to find commercial chargers. and if it does not give correct information, it should be and the conservative way so that you have more left in the battery when you arrive at the commercial charging place than the car said you would have left. if, on the other hand, the car miscalculates in the other direction, then in the worst case you can be left behind on the road With an empty battery

Great review guys!👍🏻

i use a loptop for work , not to drive in, so no way i gonna buy a Tesla,

Interesting comparo video! I like the minimalist idea of Tesla, but like the practicality of buttons, especially for basic things like the AC. Having to go into the screen or speak to the car is kind of annoying for something so basic. They should also just put a speedometer and energy meter in front of the driver in some kind of screen or read out. The Polestar has very respectful, grown up styling, but just looks too cramped in the front for the driver. Maybe it's the camera angle and will be more spacious in real life. The Beemer looks very cool, but looks busy yet luxurious on the interior. Not totally sure about it yet. Knowing that it will have better build quality than the competition is a huge plus. I'm in the market for an EV as a daily (not too worried about long trips and charging). I've tested the Tesla and liked it overall. I will test the other two shortly, so that's a big factor before I put my order in.

How much does it cost to replace a Tesla battery 3? According to an invoice from Tesla shared by Current Automotive, a complete 75kWh battery replacement for a Model 3 costs $16,550.67. That's $2,299.27 in labor and $14,251.40 in parts, with the actual battery costing $13,500. However, battery prices may vary depending on your vehicle model.Jan 26, 2022.... Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find any estimates for battery replacement on the I4 or the Polestar 2 because they are too new.....

Women think the polestar is a grandma looking cat but the Tesla looks sporty, the BMW grill is so ugly….

The best car is clearly the BMW ,- anyone that try’s all of them will quickly come to that conclusion 🥰

Nice review this is. I'm still indecicive. BMW i4 and Polestar 2 are both still on my list. A tip for your audio in this video, the mics could use some wind protection.

Tesla has better value, faster, better motors, batteries, tech. Polestar and bmw both lose money on every sell. I’d never buy the polestar simply because it’s a Chinese company now.

My god I can't stand that Tesla dash. Horrid.

Great reviews thanks !

Loved the BMW i4. Good Video 👍🏻

BMW all the time. Don’t compare silk with rags. Polestar is awful 😣

My brother had Polestar when it was first launched for all of 3 months. It had endless series of problems - both major and minor hardware but especially software glitches. He sent it back after it had spent more than half of its 3 month of ownership being stuck in a volvo Garage waiting parts and/or software updates. That was his experience. Given this is now a Chinese brand and quite soon we may well be on brink of WW3 with China or at least heavy sanctions it might make you think about it's future here in west.

I just cant get my head around how much these cars are being sold for.In parts of England you can buy a house for less.

I guess everybody has it’s public. The more EVs are reaching various segments and demographics, the more you can understand why we have been stuck so many decades with combustion engines. For sure it is a pleasant channel turn on before you go to bed and listed to these boys having opinions. For me it just feels non progressive and most conclusions feel really influenced by the main “character’s” conservative personality. But then again, preaching EVs is great no matter the public.

Polestar needs more interior room. My knee bumps steering column. Rear seat my head hits roof by door and my feet don’t fit under seat. I’m only 5ft 11inch. Not great for a pricey ride.
