@AMIRZA786 All the reviews I've seen and read seem very positive! I'm not surprised you also like it! 👍
Why are you referring to a Model 3 as a comparison instead of the Model Y? This Polestar looks like a crossover to me and not a sedan.
Doug DeMuro compared it to the Model 3 in his review, I was just parroting him . Yes, it's definitely more crossover than Sedan, especially with the hatch trunk. That said, it has an actual trunk unlike a hatchback
I think if range isn't an issue for you, this is a super compelling product.
Charging speed and overall efficiency also isn't great...seems they still have a ways to go before catching up to the leaders. Its more of a Model 3 LR competitor than a Performance 3 competitor as its significantly down on power comparatively. I like everything else about the car though and if Tesla opens up its Superchargers and this things gets another 50 miles of range, I would consider it for the wife. The other issue is that the service center / dealership network is too small right now. Really needs expansion to get better sales.

Definitely compared to Tesla, they need some catch up, but range is not an issue, as I basically drive 5.5 miles each way to and from work. My wife has some family in Tracy (50 miles each way) so even that is not an issue, and with free Electrify America (3 years) being everywhere, range is not an issue. PoleStar says they will be adding more range and efficiency through an OTA sometime next year. Might have to pay for it though, we'll see when it comes out here in the US.
The reason I picked this over the Model 3 or Model Y...comfort, better build, and IMO a better more comfortable cabin. Also they offer much better leasing options than Tesla. If range and efficiency was a key requirement, I would 100 percent go with a Model 3 over this. I have never met more satisfied customers than Tesla customers. The reason is the Model 3 is the best, most practical EV out there when it comes to efficiency, range and performance. In this case, I'm picking comfort, cabin layout etc over range. If Tesla comes out with a Minivan or large SUV that's not plus $100K and doesn't look like it belongs on the moon, I'll be the first customer in line!
I decided to cancel my Lucid pre-order, and have instead ordered a 2022 PoleStar 2. Delivery is expected early January. I'm getting the Dual Motor version with the 408 hp motors and 249 range.
The price above includes tax and license, so this is the OTD pricing
Nice!! More Polestar 2's on the forum! We got our Polestar 2 a few weeks ago. Absolutely love it. Is it as luxurious as our e-tron was? Nope, but the power and handling blow it away. The insanely positive equity in our e-tron will basically pay for the Polestar 2 lease we got.
2021 in Thunder with Pilot and Plus packages. Wanted to Barley Leather interior but wife actually said she wanted the Thunder exterior color over the upgraded interior.

I stuck with the base vegan seats, I didn't feel like taking care of leather like I have to with my IS350. The Lexus dealership that replaced my dash in Jan 2020 is begging me to sell them my 2010 IS350 (it only has 73k on it), if they give me a decent offer I may sell.
Basically the Polestar will beat most cars here on the road, especially at a dig. It's the Tesla's I have to worry about lol 😆
I see them around here every few days. In fact, this morning there was a shiny new black Mustang Mach-E followed by a Polestar. The Mach-E kinda shocks me with its small size; it seems bigger in pictures.
I saw my first Polestar a few months ago in a Starbucks parking lot here in Los Gatos. I didn't know what it was, but I knew it was new and probably electric. When he pulled outta his parking space, I knew it was electric.
That silent, ultra quick, cat like movement is a dead giveaway. While I am not a fan of its look, I'm sure you will like your new Polestar!
I see a white Lucid Air running around here as well. Wifey likes the style, me not so much. Each to their own, of course.
