Id love to entertain wildlife is bored as all day well fed with nothing to do but only the thrill of coming close to death as their only game. In reality being near a clearing they feel safer so they can see predators from both ways rather than in the thick of things. Grass grows better there then with little notice massive grey or white beasts suddely appear. This jacks their R complex part of the brain to react as if its coming for them directly. Results in dash off on a surface where they can get better initial speed as they react as if the beast is coming for them so changing its direction towards them gives them a split second edge to help their escape verus predators anyway. After all these years even long time 4x4 people know simple ultrasonic whistles in the front of the bumpers alerts wildlife way ahead of time to reduce such collisions but electric car manufacturers only expect city usage it seems.

For some reason, I still find myself liking the Polestar more. Perhaps its vain - but I just think that the Polestar looks nicer and more premium. Additionally, I've heard so many horror stories about Tesla quality that I trust Volvo more. I've got a lot of respect for Tesla as they've really helped push long range electric cars, but the model 3 looks like a bubble car to me whereas the the polestar looks more mature.

So here's my not so quick Pro/Con experience after renting a 2023 Polestar 2 (Single Motor) from Hertz (Houston -IAH) over 3-days and about 100mi. as a 5-Year Tesla Model 3 owner. I was immediately impressed by the build quality (no rattles or squeaks), trim materials, low road noise and handling/body control. I enjoyed the design elements and looks, just wish it sat a bit lower from the side profile view. The onboard Google maps and dual displays were nice and I found no reason to use the available CarPlay option I would normally use in all my rentals. Biggest Cons IMO were #1 the awkward high center console that I bashed my knee on the very first time I sat in the vehicle and several times since as a taller 6' 2" driver. Con #2 would be the lower range vs. Tesla, although to be fair, the PS2 is more accurate and realistic with its range. I often lose a few % parked or drop 2-3% at the start of a trip in my Tesla which I was not seeing in the PS2. Con #3 for me would be the poor rear visibility vs. a Model 3...nothing more than a tiny little pocket between the rear headrests. Forward visibility was fine, but again much better in the Tesla where the dash is lower and the window is much larger. Power delivery was smooth and surprisingly sufficient given this was only the single-motor version...0-60s is slow compared to Tesla Model 3's, but at speed on the road it's more than adequate and feels better than the numbers on paper IMO. Again compared to a Model 3 It's a bit tighter interior-wise, especially in the second row. Unique features that stood out to me were the frameless side mirrors, weird turn signal tone and neutral position shifter that I wasn't all that use to coming from a stalk based system. Overall I would recommend and/or rent one again and I'm interested to see where the new refreshed design will take this model line. Tesla overall has the Tech, Performance and Charging Infrastructure advantage, but if build quality and mostly local driving (with home charging ability) are more your ownership style I think plenty would be more than happy with the Polestar 2. Solid B/B+ EV in my book!

I ordered the Model 3 Long Range despite extensively researching the Polestar. Lovely car but the Tesla charging network was the big seller for me. I can't wait to get it on the 28th. Good to see some competition though in the EV market. If anything it improves the choices for customers in the long run and I'm sure the next Polestar will be even better.

I owned a Tesla Model 3 for almost 1.5 years and tried this week the Polestar 2. The only substantial difference, for me at least, is the charging infrastructure. The access, availability, and integration with the map system are just brilliant and the most thoughtful move that Tesla did early on. Acceleration is fine with any electric car that I tried because of how the electric motor works, top speed is not that important to me. In my experience with Tesla model 3, I never charged more than 115 KW/h, therefore the 150 KW/h limit of Polestar is fine with me. I live in Germany and I traveled to Dresden, Amsterdam, North Italy etc. If widely available charging infrastructure will be made possible for Polestar as well as any not tesla car in a similar fashion it will be the beginning of a new transportation revolution .. and this is also good for Tesla to keep them motivated to improve their products. For instance, I hate the limited access to Workshop to fix even the smallest things such as body scratch etc. And the app makes everything super annoying IMHO

Polestar also has no room, inside, so cramped and interior feels much cheaper than Tesla and people say Tesla interior is bad.

I think the transmission tunnel and the between seats storage is where the battery is stored, thats why you get so much boot space but sacrifice alittle bit of the cabin

the fact that you shot this video somewhere away from town!!! Lit stuff

Hahaha. Nice reflexes bruva! :D

I own a model 3, and love it, but I am happy to see competition coming to the market. Gotta keep Tesla on its toes.

Absolutely crazy start of the video!!!!!

Regarding the points about 10 minutes in, Telsa actually scores quite poorly for things like AEB so it may follow a road well but don't trust it to stop an accident. The LKA etc in the Polestar probably isn't meant as soft autopilot but as a safety feature to avoid dangerous incidents. It's easy to confuse ADAS with autonomous driving. I'm loving Rory's new videos on this channel!

These are both great cars. I'm glad there are more BEV options. The world need this. A couple of points: the Model 3 also has vegan interior and you can use voice commands for many controls in the Model 3, including opening the glove box.

I sat inside a Model 3 and the quality made it feel really cheap, to be honest. The little buttons/rollers on the wheel felt really badly fitted.

Martin: it’s made and designed in China, forget Volvo, has nothing to do with Polestar. Geeley let Volvo die silently, investments in new motors and cars have already stopped and within a few years they can’t sell any ICE cars anymore and than they let Volvo die. That’s the bigger plan, they bought a feeling called Volvo and named it Polestar, how clever is that!

@@martinhoogenraad4527 What are you going on about? Geely spent 2 billion USD to buy Volvo, then invested maybe another 8 billion in the company so Volvo can develop 2 completely new platforms, a new set of I-4 engine family, a new hybrid system, and now an EV platform. Now after 10 billion USD spent, they are going to let Volvo, which is EASILY the strongest brand name in their portfolio (Geely Volvo Polestar Proton Lynk) "die"? No, they have wisely started incorporating these new platforms into Geely's other brands such as Polestar and Geely, but Volvo will always be their flagship brand. Volvo is the only brand they own which has a worldwide distribution network. You think they are going to get rid of Volvo and try to switch those dealer over to selling Geelys instead? And if you don't believe me, here are Volvo's global sales volume in the last few years as they completely revamped their entire lineup: 2016 - 534,000, 2017 - 571000, 2018 - 642,000, 2019 - 705,000. 2020 is gonna be tough due to COVID, but they are still aiming to hit 800,000 sales in 2021. Volvo has a full lineup of hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and full EVs being planned, as well as a new factory in the US, so I think they'll do just fine in the coming years.

@@theoneaboveall6768 Its all about volume. You may have heard that both GM and Ford have cut almost all of the sedans and hatchbacks out of their lineup. They're focusing on trucks, SUVs and crossovers because they're higher volume. EV's only make up about 2.5% of the new car market. So its only natural that they're not interested in it. Big companies only make EV's to appear to care about the environment.

Absolutely love the video. Great job. The Polestar looks like the second best EV out there.

Love your work

One pedal driving worked pretty much perfectly on the Polestar 2 that i drove. Very well implemented, with just the right level of deceleration to a stop. Someone forgot to turn off "creep" i guess. Would be nice if someone did a review comparing the Model 3 LR with the standard model Polestar 2, since those are the variants that will sell in bigger numbers.

Not even a guess, it's shown as clear as day on the screen because it's RIGHT NEXT TO the OPD setting. This guy is either blind, stupid, or wilfully misleading. Given that he even uses the word creep when talking about it, I suspect the latter.

Polestar looks like a mix between Volvo and Peugeot.
