Picked up mine in January. 2024 model really is a game changer. Best car I’ve ever driven. Happy there’s a brand designing cars like this.

Where do you drive it? I've talked to other Polestar owners and they all love their Polestars.

I test drove the last model with 408hp for my review and was absolutely blown away with how much I enjoyed that car. Also the turn signal sound is fantastic 👍🏻.

Honestly as a car enthusiast who bought one for $30k used with 10000 miles, i could not be happier. I have a 100 mile daily commute and want a car that is as good on the weekends as it is on the daily grind. As a car guy, theres nothing else on the market in the ev world that comes close yet, and around 30k its a steal

@@kevinwiltshire4445 the tesla was honestly never in contention for me. As someone whos a designer by trade, i want something thats very design forward. Also not something thats falling apart in 6 years and has the build quality of a 2009 chevy Malibu. It was either the ioniq, the ev6 or the Polestar 2.

After watching Misha pound the Polestars around the “Ring”, it seems the car has it’s attributes for sure. Nice ride along. 👍🍁🤙

I am pretty sure Polestar will continue to co-op with both Öhlins and Brembo. Probably even more like than Volvo as Polestar is more performance oriented brand.

I would not say Polestar is any more performance-oriented than Volvo. As it sits today, the Volvo V60 Polestar plug-in hybrid is the most capable vehicle either manufacturer makes. It makes the same HP as the Polestar 2 but weighs less and sits lower to the ground. Perhaps with the Polestar 5 and 6 that will change but we're not there yet. If we're talking strictly name brand, yes "Polestar" as it appears on Volvo models means it's more performance oriented. So from that perspective, yes. Hoping the co-op continues on both sides though!

@@RoadsUntraveled Yes. V60 PE is sporty car. I should know as I have one. I actually have both P2 BST and 2020 V60 Volvo Polestar Engineered. I can quarantee that P2 BST is way more performance oriented. And in general Polestar target is to create sporty premium cars as Volvo is more targeting premium family cars (which can still be on sporty side). Very clearly seen for example when you compare new P3 and EX90. P3 has very stiff chassis, very darty steering for SUV and even mechanical torq vectoring diff at the back. Very strong steering input for P3 and you cannot believe how fast it changes lane, expecially considering it being quite heavy SUV. I would assume EX90 is much much more soft (although I have not been in one ... only in stationary one). Both cars are excellent and sporty, but there is no question which one is more extreme in sporty side. Volvo V60 is clearly more luxorious than P2, but P3,4,5 probably at same level of 'premiumness' as Volvo. And P5 will probably be very very strongly in sporty side. Weight difference is btw quite small. Especially when Volvo is full on fuel :). P2 has 476 hp and old/new Volvo V60 405/455 hp. I like much more Volvo V60 seats (better side support) and l like like it being station wagon. EV drive train in P2 is naturally better and driving dynamics way better. 'EV60' would be very very nice car I assume... if we would have one.

Wish they kept the black grill, but it looks good enough to go along with

Personally I think the whole gas vs EV argument is silly. Both have their purpose and pros and cons, I wish the EV fanboys would understand why EVs don't make good sports cars, and I wish ICE fans would acknowledge the obvious benefits of EVs when it comes to daily drivers. I say this as an enthusiast myself, I've owned several manual transmission sports cars including my current c7 Vette. And I'm telling you, when it comes to daily drivers, a well-executed EV is simply better. We have a Jaguar I-PACE EV as our daily driver. This replaced our 970 Panamera Turbo (both of which we bought used btw), a car that most ICE fans would probably agree is a pretty good daily driver in its own right. And I can honestly say the Jag is better in every single way. I don’t miss the Panamera one bit, neither does the wife. With the Jag, there’s no automatic transmission to get confused around town, never getting into a hot or cold car with preconditioning, there’s insane instant torque, the smoothness and refinement is unmatched (not only because no engine noise but also because the 1000 pound battery insulates you from road noise), the use of space is excellent (small on the outside and big on the inside because no engine), low center of gravity, naturally perfect weight distribution, being able to blow by anyone in traffic anytime, never being in the wrong gear, way more efficient, never being late because I had to stop for gas, no maintenance, quicker than most v8 family cars and more efficient than i-4 family cars, etc etc. And even though on paper the panamera was faster 0-60, in real life around town it’s not even close - the Jag would be gone before the panamera would even get into the right gear. Yes, it can be annoying on road trips - but it's not the end of the world unless you road trip all the time. It's the better car 364 days of the year, and the worse car 1 day of the year. Having said all of that, like I said I'm an enthusiast, and we also have two sports cars (manual transmission c7 corvette stingray and an R56 Mini Cooper JCW, both of which I frequently use for road rallys and autocross), and I have no desire for either of those to be electric. The whole point of those cars is a visceral, loud, lightweight, connected experience with a manual transmission. I know there is a Boxster EV coming soon and I’m sure it’ll be great and smoke my c7 around any racetrack, but I have no interest at all, even as a current EV owner. Sports cars should be gas powered and manual IMO. So as I said, each has their purpose. I don’t see myself ever going back to gas for daily driver, and I don’t see myself ever going EV for sports cars. My point is simple: EVs are better at some things, and gas cars are better at some things. "Taking a side" doesn't make sense, even for enthusiasts. Just acknowledge what the other is better at. EVs dont work for everyone (you need a place to charge and can't road trip all the time etc etc), but if it works in your lifestyle - try it before you knock it is all I'm saying. You might be surprised. And like I said - just because a car is EV doesn't make it good. There are good EVs and bad ones, just like gas cars. For example, I' not a huge Tesla fan. But, the well-executed EVs are, in my opinion, the best daily drivers, if they fit into your lifestyle. ...and this is coming from someone that's currently on his 8th manual transmission sports car (Vette, Mini JCW, 350Z, etc etc). And to be clear - these are my favorite cars, not the I-PACE. But, I have a wife and a kid, and we need something that isn't manual and has a back seat. And in that category, the Jag is by far and away the best we've had.

I think the real down side to the pano roof is going to be heat in the summer. The AC will have a tough time both with the lack of insulation in the roof and the heat transmitted through the glass.

Glass roofs generally have no point. It's better to have it dark in the car so sunlight doesn't wash out the illuminated buttons and screens.

I love pano roofs for the extra light but it's tough to justify having one that doesn't close. Takes quite awhile to heat up or cool off the car

Got a Polestar 2 and basically the same with glass roof and it does great even in summer 25°-30° and it gets cold also in Sweden winter -15 to -25° and it keeps the car hot. It’s not a problem.

I got the MY24 LRSM with just the Pilot pack as I didn't want the pano-roof because it escapes heat in the winter and lets in heat during summer, so it will drain extra battery to keep the car temperature in check. The Plus pack is also disproportionately expensive in my region compared to e.g. the US.
