The color is called Void...I guess that's fancy for Black LOL. I had to head back to work, I will post a ton of details once I've gotten more time with it. Both pros and cons

Thats a pretty car. Take some pics of the interior and the Android Play Store. I hear they are offering an OTA update to increase acceleration (~$2000). You know you want it

I'll post a more detailed review on it when I've driven it for awhile. One thing I will say...this is the way to buy a car...test drive, order online, get it delivered!
Congrats! getting mine tomorrow. Void too with Pilot and Plus packs

I will. And I do, but I don't want to spend $2K. Maybe I'll create a "mod" budget than I'll feel better about it

Looks like a really fun car; we are all jealous.
But we are all driving a Polestar vicariously through your checkbook!
Appreciate you!

Congrats on your new PoleStar! I decided since this a lease not to add on the Pilot and Plus packs, but I did get the all weather mats

The Polestar 2 is growing on me more and more. It definitely looks better in real life than the picture.

Pictures definitely don't do it justice. Looks much better in real life

Just crested 1,000 miles in our Polestar 2. Love taking it on fun drives, even though the lack of engine sound is a bit odd still for something "fun".

The handling and immediate power are just a joy to throw into curves.

Nothing like AWD. I'm moving from a RWD platform. I'll definitely miss the intake sound of my IS350 when I did WOT, but I also love that quiet rush as I merge onto the freeway and hit 80!

true, but nothing like sliding the back out on my LC500 in a u-turn.

When I lease I try to get most of the options I can, including all weather floor mats, since you are only paying for a portion of the option. For example, if I get the floor mats after I lease the car, I pay 100% of the price. If I order them with the car and it’s part of the MSRP it only costs me around 50% or whatever the non-residual amount is.
