Love this car. I’ve made peace that it isn’t the most efficient- as a commuter car it feels quality and I’m never afraid of running out of range.

Thanks Bjorn. The Polestar 2 keeps looking better and better.

Great for canadien winter , he have a lot here thank’s for the test

Bjorn are you gonna review the BYD Seal soon and it would be nice to have a winter range test for the seal

Good car in nice test! Quality seems also top. But not really cheap

Sleek ride!! High class commuting!

in Denmark they don't have winter

These true winter tests are very helpful to demonstrate the bottom line for every car.

Range is everything

Just so you know, we need a summer test as well :)

Model 3 and after that Raven were first Teslas to have induction/ PM combo

Would really like a review/test of the polestar 4 as well!

@@kaasman78Tesla doesn’t make the best EVs. That title would likely go to Lucid. Tesla does however have the most mature manufacturing process, so they were able to make cars like the 3 and the Y that had mass appeal due to their affordability. Lucid (for example) is objectively better in terms of engineering, range, build quality, charging speed, performance. The idea that Tesla is “the benchmark” at this point is lazy and based on sentiments from 5+ years ago (where it was likely true).

I can't decide between the Long Range Dual Motor and the LRDM with Performance package, is the difference in driving pleasure really that big? I've driven both and I didn't feel the difference in the drive was that big

Hi Bjorn. You often bring up how people should read BMW - Deutsch way (BeeEemVee or sth like this. I would like to notice that You should also read Ikea other way - as far as I know IKEA should be read Polish/German way. (I like E, K - like german K, e like in spaghetti, also german way, and A like in bravo). Greetings from Poland

Ok. Good to know. Unfortunately P2 is about 10k$ more expensive and I am not sure if the range diff is worth that.

@@gavinmoore8024Also for me nice looks is much more important than super good efficiency. This is even more true for EVs as if you charge at home driving pretty much cost nothing. And if some other car is 20% more efficient is almost like 0 * 20% saving -> in practise nothing. Only reason would be that if you travel long distances -> then range / cost have more meaning. Also P2 is just so excellent to drive that for me it would be hard to jump to anything else.

Any test of the Highland Standard range RWD coming? Close to ordering it but as always when considering EV's, your opinion is very valuable!

Hi Bjørn, which OBD dongle/profile are you using? Is it the OBDLINK LX? I have not been able to find one that works in polestar.

No wonder if 120 is your top speed. Even my old S 75D only consumes about 180 (lifetime), since I don’t often drive faster than 120 kph.

Lol, range together with charging infrastructure has been the main reasons why the EV market share is still extremely low. So maybe in your little baby world range is nothing but for normal families, why the hell would you pay more for something more inconvenient?! Stop and charge for an hour every 300 km on a long trip is absolutely pathetic.

I don't know why you have to mention Tesla AP always. Activating AP in such conditions is illegal by law and by Teslas terms. Polestar also could easily recognize a street somehow without lane markings but disables it to prevent from doing something stupid.

Perhaps the people complaining aren’t their target audience yet. An aspirational viewer wants the sun moon and the stars while comparing it to the car of their dreams; but when it comes to affording either, are faced with the cruel reality of their finances. We’ve all done it. The best thing is that when opportunity comes, we’ve done our research thanks to our Norwegian vlogger, and can maybe make a better decision, new or used. I did, and it wasn’t one of his top picks either. So thanks to uncle Bjørn, I’m the proud owner of a ‘concrete green’ Volvo.

Different conditions. In the recent test by NAF Polestar 2 and Tesla M3 ended up with practically same range and consumption when driven in convoy even though M3 is 150kg lighter and had 18 inch wheels. Interesting that even though Tesla is much more aerodynamic and lighter it can't beat the Polestar. Its motors must be very inefficient.
