Polestar
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- people like the Polestars which are fancy Chinese made Volvos.
- Polestar is somewhat to Volvo what Cadillac is to Chevy and they’re all-electric.
- Tesla down, Polestar up as first October new car sales figures released
- The Ioniq 5 and Polestar are a generation newer tech, so you'd expect them to be more expensive. For example, they DC fast charge 2-3x as fast as any of the above cars and have higher capacity batteries for more range.
- Polestar for Android. You log into your google account on the native Android automotive and it's like having a second device.
Cons
- The Polestar spent less time charging than the Tesla and spent more time driving, but got there second?
- Probably my favorite looking EVs, but surprisngly badly engineered vehicles.
- For example for Polestar, I observed the value increase by two percentage points. It's however a reasonable coarse indicator.
- Volvo was supposed to be Geely's USA brand along with Polestar. Geely just dumped more money into Polestar too.
- and my Polestar prior to that.

This is my biggest regret going with a Polestar, I wish it had V2L so much.
Good software and Polestar don't go together.
I certainly don't trust all rear visibility to solely rely on Polestar's software.
