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

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 🙂

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

How's the seating position? The steering wheel looks so far forward on all of these polestar cars, which is a bad position (90 degree elbow at 3&9)

When do you release the full review? 😜

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.

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.

Hello Kris, Madrid is at 600-700 m, not sea level at all 😄 Also, in the charger you have to select first and then connect it (I have used it several times without problem). Cheers!

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?

seriously, sunil3135? A car with 800-volt architecture and much-faster charging, and actual physical switches/buttons, and well-designed horizontal computers (that don't look like they're an iPad glued to the dashboard cheaply), and an actual rear window? vs. a car that's inferior in all those ways?

@@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.

@@jayem8981 Nice sparring. 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.

Is it possible to try some of the cars you tested only in cold weather again? But in warmer weather? Anyway. I would not call this an efficient car. Just OK for a slightly taller chunky car, but efficient it is not.

love it that you couldn't see the pole behind you with the digital mirror.... What else could possibly go wrong with a digital mirror as the only way to see behind you? There's no way that the digital camera, or the digital screen, could ever give out, is there? Surely it's 100% perfect?

The main screen reversing camera should have shown the pole. In both my cars the main screen reversing camera image is very clear, the pole would have been visible.

You know what would be good? A back window to prevent this kind of crashes - that´s so ironic you can't make it up. The design is appealing though - the range is great, looks like very good temperature for testing. 400+ range at 120 km/h? Very useable !
