See if you should buy an electric car - www.carwow.co.uk/blog/should-...
This is the all-new Polestar 2! It’s an alternative to the oh-so-popular Tesla Model 3, and based on looks alone, we think it has the potential to beat it and be the must-have EV of 2020! But with a price tag just shy of £50,000, we need to take a proper look to see if it can sway us away from the class-leading Model 3! It may be packing a 78kWh battery and dual electric motors, helping it achieve over 400hp and 660Nm of torque, but is it enough? You'll have to join Mat for his latest in-depth review to find out!

Good point, I don't think digital dashes are much less of a distraction than a phone. I haven't driven a Tesla, perhaps with their super large screen that can display more information at once it's marginally less distracting, because you don't have to search through menus. You're going to have this kind of stuff I think you really need voice controls unless the car can independently drive itself.

The Polestar is Chinese. China (Geely) are in the process of moving Volvo to China as they slowly hollow out western industry and jobs. They cannot get traction with their own brands so they use western brands against us. This hollowing out will eventually hollow out every single sector as they move all industries in house to China. China are literally an enemy, that may sound like hyperbole but it manifestly isn't. They are a communist/totalitarian regime. Partnership is not a part of their thinking process. It is the cover they use to slowly dismember western economies. They do not want partnership they want control and ownership. This is an will increasingly bleed in to political control and eventually erosion of western freedoms. China simply cannot allow freedom of thought or speech, it is not only antithetical but an existential threat to their regime. They cannot limit restrictions of freedom to their own country as this is a constant pressure on their regime. So they need to extinguish freedom in as many places as possible. All empires spread their model. This will eventually be true for us. We are walking ourselves in to totalitarian control. If you think it seems too far fetched then you need to think deeper and harder. If you think this process will be benign, it will not be. They will slowly tighten their grip on democracy. Your government will be controlled by China, you will not be allowed to change your government and your government will impose every single decision handed down by China. You will not be able to protest or question this decision. You and your children will grow up without any freedom for the rest of your/their lives. As one example China force sterilises people, in the 80's Chinese themselves, now Uyghurs.

David Moore No. It is safer to have physical buttons for secondary things like climate control and the sound system rather than having a touchscreen interface that you *have* to take your eyes off the road to be able to use, or using voice commands that are slow and prone to errors. Muscle memory is virtually autonomous from our conscious mind, so once the position, feel and functionality of the various switches and controls are learned, using them with your hand is by far the safest and most efficient method.

The back seat was surprisingly roomy, the acceleration was amazing and I loved the suspension on it. I really can live without the sports package, will that dampen my day, will the default suspension feel to loose for me knowing I liked the c30 suspension. I have been eagerly waiting for an electric vehicle from Volvo and am elated to find this but is it worth the price tag?

Challenges to being an early adopter! My Polestar 2 EV was in the Volvo/Polestar service dept for the 2nd time in its short lease life, this time for 26 days, to try to fix software and possibly hardware issues. With the help/intervention of Polestar corporate, the car was finally returned yesterday afternoon with 45% remaining so I plugged it in and I couldn't immediately charge it. Back to the service dept today; the brutal saga continues! According to IHS Markit, forecasted expected volume for 2021 is only about 250 vehicles/month. Polestar corporate, its PS2 vehicle, the customer service team, vehicle repair services, and parts inventory are clearly not ready for prime time in the US! It is not like you can go to another dealer or repair shop; your are stuck with the one service location and team. Lesson learned?

In Switzerland Polestar 2 and Tesla model 3 Long Range, so both AWD are within of 400 bucks (once you put 19" wheels on Tesla to match Polestar's standard size). So count 57'500Fr. Range is similar (P2: 470km vs Tm3: 530km), with Tesla having small advantage, though, with 19" wheels, I think it loses a bit on its range.So we can say they are similar there too. Acceleration is almost the same. Seems Polestar 2 have a bit better real world acceleration. Design is subjective, but Polestar 2 wins for me, especially for the interior. No real dash is what puts off to buy Model 3. Now, something really important: Manufacturing quality - I think Polestar beats Tesla here. It is Volvo quality and I know it is good and refined craftsmanship. Tesla is still not there. It is just a reality. So, overall, I think, we are in the presence of the first, serious competition to Tesla that is actually better in many ways. Thumbs up to Polestar!

@paul sticks The only problem would be battery production, but that can be quite easily sort out if they merge with a battery production company. (Like tesla did with Panasonic) But look at the numbers, The Audi E-tron already sells more than the Tesla model X in Europe. and the Taycan is also outselling the model S in that continent (Which is quite impressive considering it is more expensive). Full self driving is not really a safe feature and it still got lots of work to do (yet the still charge you 8 grand for that), there's a lot of dashcam videos showing how it does really unsafe maneuvers, so its not a good enough feature to sell a car. (except if you are a sheep and watched some really bullshit video about someone sleeping with FSD on) And the Fart apps, Built-in arcade games and Netflix are also not a good selling point. Also, look at the Model Y its got tons of quality issues such as Cabin leaks, mismatched trim and panels, scratched painjob, rust underneath the car, Awful ride quality, etc. The only thing that think it is innovative about tesla it is its infotainment system, but only that, really. (yes, i was bored today so i had time to write this. lol)

@07chidu 3 жыл бұрын

@paul sticks Not sure this is the biggest argument. For many people (including me) the supercharger network is the thing. Honestly, I'm not ready to go EV, especially at this price point, without this solution. I really don't know for the rest (design, autonomy, perf, details quality and stuffs) but if Tesla is still this far ahead regarding the charging ease and journey planning when I'll have the financial ability to get one of those cars (probably around 2 years), I'll go for Tesla for sure. And I really don't see anyone near or far ....

@TigerKurdish 3 жыл бұрын

I like the Polster 2 and the way it looks but, 50 miles between the two is a very big difference, and definitely not "similar" however the biggest advantage for tesla is the seamless charging network which makes it easier to live with. Not to mention technology wise tesla is way ahead. Probably the cosmetic fit and finish of the polestar will be better. But if I had to buy an EV I would get a tesla because, it offers more. more range, cheaper, solid seamless charging network and much better technology. Polestar is better than every other compable EV though besides Tesla

I took this for a test drive today. Didn't have the performance package though. It felt good for handling, fairly sharp and agile by my limited car experience. It was my first time driving an ev, and I found it somewhat tranquil, with low noise, and no engine vibration or acceleration sounds hardly. It's a good looking sedan, and seemed like good room in the back for a car this size, but the front was a bit snug/cozy. The center console didn't have good storage either, and what storage is there is robbed by a cup holder, though it may be removable. Nice interior design, but all the matte finishes and textiles are not my thing, though my test version had optional perforated heated/cooled leather seats in a beige colour, which felt nice to the touch and pretty comfy. The center screen seemed really intuitive and easy to use and learn. The voice commands will mostly be used once you're used to it I reckon, if that pleases you. Center cluster screen looked nice but I found it odd without having traditional round gauges. Something to get used to. I liked the polestar logo light on the roof, a nice touch, and the panoramic sunroof is spacious and adds lots of natural light. Accel pedal was very easy to modulate, and is incredibly useable at low to midrange speeds. Didn't get to take it to higher speeds above 125km/h. Ability to punch and maneuver this in traffic is excellent! Felt really good. Overall a nice car, should be an exceptional city car, and nice to have something different. I think I would get it without the performance package, but with the leather seats. It handled quite well without the performance ohlins and brembo brakes. I did find the exterior paint options lackluster, and I would get the standard wheels, as they all look good, but I find such large wheels are oversized on cars these days, and are a good place to save money, while actually lightly increasing performance and comfort. So, do I think this car is worth buying? Personally I feel it is not worth the price, but if you are going to buy a new ev in this price range, I would certainly consider this car, yet I can't fully judge it without having tested it's rivals. Evs are compelling to me though in any case, saving those gasoline costs, and trips, oil changes, and less maintenance in general. If this was a lower price it and it's competition would be no brainers for most in the cities. Addendum: Can't say I loved the steering wheel feel either, not enough texture.

Yeah no let’s be realistic here with the price… compare this polestar which is basically a volvo, volvos r quite expensive right, think abt how expensive other electric cars are would you really rather spend 55k on a Nissan Leaf or 64 on a polestar? of course not everyone can afford a 64k car but in terms of quality and the fact it’s an ev the price is reasonable

@rowdy6274 11 ай бұрын

@@sienna1292I came to the same conclusion. I was in the market for a new EV with some range and came across the Polestar 2 first, because I really really didn't want a Tesla. It seemed expensive until I started comparing, at other brands I would have gotten way less, for a pretty similar price. Hell, some cars like VW or Skoda EVs would have cost more and had less in terms of power, range and interior. In the end, I got the Polestar. I was looking for a car to keep, and really didn't want to have a "Damn, I should've paid 5-10k more" experience later. About a year later, I'm still happy with my choice
