Coming from an engineering background I really enjoy these tech videos that go behind the impressive lap times, more of this please.

Being a Polestar 2 owner (not PP, no green hell in my neighborhood) with 17k km driven and engineer who requested a summer tire video this winter. I must say this video is just Misha going overboard in a glorious nerdy way! Much more than I was hoping for! Love it! Can vouch for that it's fun in arctic winter, the 50/50 power distribution feels like rear wheel bias on snow... 😆

I have seen so many "major" youtubers complain about the stiffness of the Polestar 2 performance, shame they didn t read the manual and adjusted the dampers (knowing there are 22 clicks available must mean there is so much adjustability). Great job they didnt save money on such important components as brakes and suspension. Big thumbs up.

I really adore this car because of it's performance and design! I am obviously going to watch this!!!

Fantastic video with such useful video! Well done @polestarcars for being so hands on too!

Misha, really enjoying these videos. It would have been really interesting if you could also take a non-PP Polestar 2 onto the ring and describe how different it feels to the version with the performance pack. I think even without the PP it will work quite well on the Nürburgring.

Thanks for asking the questions and checking how "special" this polestar 2 was compared to what we can all buy. Again great that Polestar are attempting to give performance options and think about enjoyable driving. The manually adjustable dampers are an interesting choice from factory, but I see that your taxi and rental cars use manually adjustable suspension too. In the UK the performance pack adds £5000 to the cost - how does this cost compare to the components on the Cupra or the other Apex cars ?

A playlist of you and the Polestar 2 would be excellent!

I’m loving my Polestar 2 even more👍👍

6:43 show this to AUDI: Good performance brakes - what about the S 3, RS 3, TT S and TT RS brakes, Audi?

I think if another brand (A**I) doesn't learn from this series of videos, they won't learn anymore. There are ways to showcase what a car can do, and ways to show how a car can improve with some little adjustments. Or just showing a car can help to bring joy and hope for people in need

That blue paint is stunning, and the yellow accents makes it even better

Great vid Misha.

Here in the US (Colorado specifically) some of the public roads are really hard on my back at 8/8, so after some testing, I've settled on 12 clicks for the front and 15 on the back - it's not quite as tight as I would like, but my back is much happier! I have a chance to take it to the track next month though so I'll be going much tighter that day! I will say though that when I tested the car with all four corners at 20, it was *incredibly* fun on unpaved roads. POLESTAR RALLY :D

Brilliant video

I was watching the Polestar 1 video earlier and the Seatbelt not choking you really made a difference in the other video lol

Speaking about regen braking here's the thing people forget: for regen to work the electricity needs somewhere to go, and you sure as hell can't just dump that into the ether. Hence if your battery is full or not in a compliant state, or say if there's a electronic/electric/mechanical failure which prevents electricity from flowing into the battery properly you lose regen.

Good video

Cool video 👍🏻

I don't specifically know about Ohlins for cars, but for motorcycles they offer both remote mechanical and electronic adjustment options, with the latter being computer controlled. So there should really be no need to have to go under the car to make adjustments, and potentially they could be made while driving. So there was probably a cost consideration involved here, but on the plus side I expect you can get remote adjusters as an aftermarket option from Ohlins.

Yay for Joachim! 💚 Super cool guy! 😎

I would love to see you drive an LCI M5Competition around the Nordschleifer.

Half expecting Jason from EE to pop out of the shadows, whiteboard in hand halfway through the video.

Have you put the lowering springs on the polestar 2? Impressions?

Is that a standard color? Looks amazing in that garage lighting.

I am falling in llll lust with this new Polstar 2. 🤘🔥😎🔥🤘

Indeed, the yellow seat belts look great

Reading the caption, I thought you were doing a collab with user @Engineeringexplained :), which would have been fabulous. Good stuff anyway.

Ha! I asked about this the other day, good stuff. However, I don't think you touched on the staggered wheel widths (unless I missed it?). The front wheels are 8", rears are 9", but the tires are the same. I'm guessing it's to stiffen the rear tires' sidewalls, but I've been curious about the "official" reason.

Is that Midnight or was it wrapped in a different color? I'm picking up a Midnight soon and this is the best the color has looked if it is.

I would love for this to be my daily driver

I will look at them for my next car , a little polestar 2 performance 😏

Is that the midnight colour?

which colorway is this ?

Oh boy I want one, but they are a bit out of my budget. But then again, I would save a lot on fuel right!?!? Should I just go buy one?

Er is iets geheimzinnigs aan deze Polestar2, motorkap blijft dicht, kofferklep blijft dicht, onderkant glad en Joachim laat ook niet het achterste van zijn tong zien, maar wel leuk deze video!

Not keen on electric cars but this one is pretty special for sure.

When will polestar 2 come to Portugal? Spain? Italy and many other European countries?

It's fast 👍

build a performance chassis u put performance parts on it, no matter combustion or EV. doesnt get any simpler than that.

Can someone explain to me this 1) Is Polestar still apart of Volvo and if not why did they leave 2) Will Polestar still do performance upgrades for Volvo Lastly 3) Polestar 1 being 140K pounds shouldn't they cars have more power for the price? Just curious

You forgot about one thing. WHITE BOARD

You did not discuss the limiter

Just put a cage, a couple of bucket seats, and an aero kit and do what you know best. Polestar, certainly has an idea.

was this video not uploaded 2 days ago wit an other intro thing ?

Tesla don't think the brakes simple like Polestar. It seems they have a 1000 hp car with a 500 hp brake. It reminds me of the old US muscle cars with 4 drum brakes.

Whats the range on it?

Ciao hi morning to all 👍👋☕️👏

"Lets put it on the lift" Oh nevermind nothing to see here😄

Its a very cool car. If Misha likes a car I'll pay more attention to the video. This car is very expensive unfortunately. Edit..the polestar 2 is very affordable in the $50k range US. Might be a good lease car. Make the payments, drive it like a demon and turn it in.

Still waiting the tractor video (I know the reasons Misha but from now on imma leave this comment on every video till you make it).

topspeed is really low for a "performance" car and definitely not that light.

A serious contender as a replacement for my M3P but it would want another 100bhp to justify the £60k price. After some more reading no car play … that’s a deal breaker. As is signing in with a google account. Shame.

BUY GGPI STOCK< POLESTAR MERGER :)

Blyat

the "low maintenance" on EV brakes is NOT correct. they r used so little that they rust. and you often need to replace them at every inspection. and lets hope they up the towing capacity a bit. 2000kilo is a goal. and the old "polestar" stil exist. it is now CYAN ;)

I have never seen a Polestar here. People prefer pickup trucks.

Electric.. No thanks.

Too bad polestar may go bankrupt, I don’t think it will survive.

This car is pointless for the track. It's very slow for the power output and performancce goodies it has. The engineer said it's more about the balance and that is something that doesn't really come across on video.

EV = 🤮 EV-Cars are like buying a Computer in the 90s at ALDI. Inside the store, the price of the Computer is 10x higher, as outside. After the purchase, the price shrinks immediately on 1/10 of the price inside the shop. I have sold my Tesla-Crap 1,5 Years ago, and it is STILL at this dealer. 2nd Hand EVs are not sellable. Besides that, EVs are TOO EXPENSIVE! I never would pay AGAIN for a EV more than 15000€, because of the price drop and the not-existing-high-tech, in comparison to a combustion engine. More than 15000-20000€ for a Body with "3 Cables", a big electric motor, a frequency converter, a joystick as throttle pedal and a stinky huge Li-Ion Battery. There is nothing expensive. Sorry! Never buy such a electric crap AGAIN. Bullshit-TEC
