Very impressed with the styling and engineering. Incredible range for those giant wheels! Polestar makes a world class product!

Feeling betrayed 😂 The clickbait thumbnail grabbed my attention. Same with the intro, but then you don't show the damage on the car.. come on 😂 Also weird the parking sensors didn't alert you.. Well well

@KrisRifa Ай бұрын

Well my dear friend... I was frightened to film the damage because of the consequences it might have had for the upcoming three weeks of other journalists at this press drive. At the time I was shocked and didn't even notice the parking sensors didn't sound. It was first after reviewing the footage later that day and remembering that these where pre-productions prototypes that had many bugs i realised that I wasn't at fault. We can talk about it more in the next podcast episode 🙂

From my observations on your video, you were not looking at the digital mirror during the backup. Be honest, you can't truthfully blame the digital mirrow for your accident. Admit you were not paying attention as you should have been but rather talking about your content.

Thanks for doing this video, we don't often see the lower trim cars at press launch, what's your impression on the ride comfort and handling of this trim? How was the Bio-attributed MicroTech material? Is it on the full seat or just the side? I like the look of the lighter Mist Tailored Knit seat, it looks blue or grey in some videos, would you consider this material more comfortable for use in hot climates? Please share your thoughts when you have a moment, thanks.

@robertpolestar-em4je Ай бұрын

Fake. He didn’t hit anything. The P4 (if it’s like the P2) has a safety feature that will slam the brakes when backing up and it sense you are going too fast, and MIGHT hits something. I’ve had that happen to me 3 times. Saved my butt twice.

@@valdux1 What are "normal" parking sensors for you? I got "normal" parking sensors since my first VW Käfer sime 45 years ago. They were called eyes and ears. Then i had a Moel 3 with USS for 2,5 years. Nice but not really diffeent to before. And now i see all those nice lines and bumps all around when i park my Tesla. So: What are "normal" parking sensors for you?

@TassieEV Ай бұрын

Doesn't the P4 not have ultra-sonic sensors to beep at you when you get to close to a immobile object like a pole for example? Not sure I'd call it a crash though more a bump. But as for the range test, 444km is what the Kona EV Premium on 19" gets for WLTP range and you got it real world on a P4 doing 120km well extrapolated it, will be interesting to see what you do get real world once you can test it properly.

@MasterChief37 Ай бұрын

I think 444 is pretty poor. I’ve driven 900km in my IX40 this week, mostly on 100-110-120km/h roads in an Norway and Sweden, it’s averaging 18.4kWh/100km, which translates to 400km a charge from a 76kwh battery.

Those BP chargers are a headache. It runs off the screen below that lits when you touch it. It has long communication and shut down. On topic. I think it's a bit too expensive for a BYD clone 😉

@@panameradan6860Funny, because everything you said is literally a personal preference except charging speed and yet you position them as objective advantages lmao. Regarding charging, no doubt the I5 charges faster. It also has about 60 miles+ less range. But you knew that right? So you can charge 10 mins faster in the I5, but I can drive 50 mins farther than you on a charge? Who you think wins? Oh and btw, the I5 isn’t a true 800v system. Its nominal rate is somewhere in the low 600’s. Next time do your research. Good try though bud.

I've seen alot of negativity re the rear view camera vs rear window, people seem to think the world will come off its axis if the camera were to fail, but no one has ever mentioned most truck & van drivers never having rear view at all and yet no one seems to be dieing on our roads because these particular vehicles cannot have conventional mirrors looking thru rear windows, never mind those of us with wagons/hatchbacks full of family gear that obscures your centre rear view mirror - there are 2 other side view mirrors that you can use.

Three things about your claim that you hit the pole: (1) You weren’t even looking in the rear view mirror. Look at where you are looking (in the video) as you backed up .; (2) The P2 has a safety system that automatically slams on the brakes when the car detects something, and you weren’t slowing down. First time it happened to me, and other P2 owners, yes, it feels like you hit something..it’s very abrupt, but it is doing it’s job by bringing you to an abrupt stop before you actually hit anything. That feature, in the P2 can be turned off. ; and (3) if you were close enough to hit something, the sensors would have been screaming at you. I heard nothing.

@KrisRifa Ай бұрын

First off, I did the pole. There was big dent on the rear tailgate. Yes I was looking in the rear view screen and the screen. But because of the pole blended into to the background I was not able to see the pole due to the limited resolution of the camera and scree. This was a pre-production prototype with unfinished SW, so neither the auto brake or the parking sensors were working at the time. I discussed all of this with the team when I handed over the car, and they assured me not to worry because of the aforementioned.

@@KrisRifa - No, you weren’t looking, but if you did get a glimpse, it was for a split second.

"Your reviews of polestar have never been good…" Again, you are an idiot and this is one of the dumbest things I've ever heard! This is simply not true and a blatant lie. So you are now banned from commenting on this video any further. This lie is in direct violation of the commenting guidelines here on the channel. Spreading lies and misinformation will not be tolerated. I have for almost four been praising the Polestar 2 as one of my favourite EVs, I have many videos about this. And lately I've been praising both the Polestar 3 and 4, calling the Polestar 3 my favourite EV. Name one EV channel that is more positive, yet as balanced than mine.... You can answer that if you answer truthfully. Any more lies and you will get a permanent ban.
