i think the dealers are going to know that if it really happens at $65K, they'll add 10-20k ADM.

Besides the nice seats, I don’t find anything appealing about the interior. Feels like a Tesla clone with some stitching on the dash for $85k

Again, this isn't a Model Y competitor. It's 5 inches longer in both wheelbase and length.

It's more comparable to the Model X than the Model Y.

The Polestar 4 will be more of a model Y competitor and obviously will be less expensive.

Looks withstanding....Its priced like an IX, sized like an IX and has the same equipment as an IX (even probably has the same exact battery pack 111kWh prismatic cell from CATL), but has less range (more drag, which is weird considering how much they talked about the lower roofline and aero front wing), is slower and has less cargo room.

You'll also have to wait a year to get one whereas you can order an IX now, at which point it will be outdated...If they would have given it an 800V system then maybe I would have overlooked its flaws. Very disappointing.

BMW iX great but it is a pretty big soft blob (cushy). I fully expect the Polestar 3 to be a little sharper in terms of performance/dynamics. Seeing as there is no EV Cayenne, and if there was, I would think it would be priced above this. We'll see where the EV Macan ends up price was relative to the gas model.

an X is way bigger. not even close.

X: 198″ L x 79″ W x 66″ H
polestar 3: 193" L x 77.5" W x 64" H

Y: 187″ L x 76″ W x 64″ H

so the polestar 3 is in between.

Pol 3 works for me as I am living in the city. Parking is an issue and I am not a big guy! Performance wise both are capable for city driving.

Length only tells part of the story. The P3 has an even longer wheelbase than the X (117.5 vs. 116.7 inches).
