2021 Polestar 1 Review // The Car Powered By EVERYTHING
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
This is the 2020 Polestar 1. It has 619 HP and 738 pound feet of torque. It has a supercharger, a turbocharger and two electric motors, and its the new halo car from Polestar. James and Thomas jump behind the wheel to see what it's really like. Because at 156,000 USD, it better be good. Watch and enjoy. SUBSCRIBE!

Great video as always guys! Other than the rear, it's one of the most beautiful cars I've ever seen. Especially in that white color. Do you guys know how much HP and torque it has when in electric only mode? I couldn't seem to find that number anywhere.

Vehicle that's too late to the party imparting too little for too a high a price but looks absolutely great, making it appealing for about only 500 people out of thousands as opposed to appealing to thousands but accessible to only 500 (the former will result in massive depreciation while the latter will result in massive appreciation). I'll wait around for 3 years and get one at 1/3 the price ... assuming it still works.

Sure, sure...but in all seriousness, would you buy one considering your own (completely unknown to me) household finances and family circumstances? In other words, as cool as it may be, does this car fit into your household? I love it too, but it really doesn’t fit into mine...and we own now 2 gorgeously well-equipped plug in hybrids, a vintage Porsche that never leaves the garage these days, a Mercedes that never leaves the driveway, and a 2008 Honda Pilot that has more dents and scrapes than I’m comfortable with, but the whole family adores. If ever there was a family for this car, one would think it to be mine, and yet it doesn’t excite me enough to spend this amount of money on a car.
