      Drive away price* from $ 68,500.51

      • payless69 on 09/03/2024 - 13:59

        Whilst affordable, last September I was at a show and could spend 30 minutes inside a model Y.
        Then I walked over to a Polestar and tried to find comfort. Maybe it was just me but 1 minute was enough.
        To be fair, in Europe the Polestar 2 is priced rather close to the mod Y and while you can order a Polestar 3 to be delivered in September there were no customers standing in line for. Tough times ahead for Volvo!

    The dual motor is pretty competitive at this price. Unfortunately adding the Plus pack to get it feature parity with a Seal or Model 3 blows it out a bit but there are advantages to not having a glass roof and I feel the Plus pack seat material in the Polestar is inferior to the base seat material.

    You're really just losing out on the upgraded sound system and heat pump.

      I wouldn't comapre a Polestar to a BYD like I wouldn't compare a BMW to a Kia.

      • tp0 on 09/03/2024 - 12:22

        They're both made in China, so what's the difference?

      • pumpkins on 09/03/2024 - 15:26

        Have you test drove these and looked at the quality?
        I thoroughly test drove Polestar 2, M3 Highland and BYD Seal. Polestar had by far the worst materials, quality feel, build quality (squeaks, door gaps, road noise) and screens/infotainment systems.
        I'm coming from a BMW X5. I would put the Seal and M3 Highland equal re quality/materials etc. M3 had better infotainment and minimalistic design, Seal had better daily use design (HUD, 360deg camera,wireless andriod auto, driver's instrument cluster digital display. good amount of real buttons and stalks) and a decent amount cheaper. Plus uses LFP batteries so won't catch fire catastrophically (no thermal runaway), can be charged right up to 100% all the time, doesn't have bad-for-everyone cobalt etc

        Overall, I'd put the Polestar in the Kia/Hyundai space. Seal/M3 are way up there in the Audi/BMW space.

        The car manufacturing landscape is changing more quickly that ever in the last 30 years.

          Highland uses LFP also (may be different for the slated performance iteration though)
          Something to be aware of - no BYD cards yet support one pedal driving.

            @noz: Worth remembering that one pedal driving is less efficient than coasting. Also not great for the wellbeing of your passengers.

            • noz on 10/03/2024 - 21:23

              @tp0: I doubt many who enjoy OPD care much about the marginal difference in efficiency vs manual braking with regen. As for "Not great for wellbeing of passengers", that sounds very anecdotal. Braking brings a vehicle to a harder stop than releasing the accelerator with OPD.

            • dealsucker on 13/03/2024 - 20:12

      glass roof isn't always preferable

      increases cabin heat and weight, reduces efficiency - and even more so if you use the air con to address the heat

      alternatively you might be able to get away with a high quality ceramic tint

      at any rate no EV comes close to the efficiency of the model 3

      the seal costs you at least a 3rd more in electricity to run, the polestar is much better but still can't rival the m3

      It’s actually around 21%. It’s been declining steadily since about 2022. Every time Tesla discounts their margins goes down. Increasing competition is forcing Tesla to lower their prices and it’s only going to get more competitive. BYD overtook Tesla recently as the company with the most deliveries of EVs worldwide.

    I have to ask those with an EV or intentions of buying what happens when you wake up one day and your car has been updated to be slower or less efficient for the sake of "battery health"? We see it in every appliance from phones to TVs, is this something that you have even considered before buying an EV? Would be naive to think it won't happen in the vehicles life.

    • Grok on 09/03/2024 - 13:09

      OK buy an ICE car and watch it deteriorate with every km you drive and be worn out at 150,000km.

      Also in ten years maximum be excluded from city centres and surrounding areas with higher taxes and fuel costs to stop you driving it.

      The downside is definitely with ICE cars medium to long term.

      • pandadude on 09/03/2024 - 13:26

          What will the regulatory environment be for ICE vehicles in ten years?

          It won’t be pretty, petrol stations having closing en masse, mechanics leaving industry and going EV, new spare parts no longer available as the ICE supply chain collapses.

          It’s called a death spiral.

          Just the new Australian emissions laws alone will guarantee it.

It's been almost a decade now and we've got chargers running off diesel generators currently, make it 100 years and we might be on time. Melbourne tunnels were meant to finish 2022 btw, still no where near finished will be open 2027 at this stage. Australians are slooow at progression and infrastructure.

        They only wear out if you don't replace the worn parts before they fail. This is what happens when you don't look after a motor vehicle. But agreed, this is what most people do/don't know better about. And in 10 years, there may well be bans. More likely though, chaos as so many of the 3yo+ EVs conk out in the tunnels, in every transit lane, on every bridge ramp…

    I wouldn't touch a Polestar at their current price points, even with this discount

    Share price is down over 95% from their peak, with questions whether they're going to go under in the near future

    Don't want to get stuck with an expensive car with no support given how much is software driven these days

      Geely is going to pump the money to keep the brand alive.

        Doesn’t mean they will keep doing it forever either

        BYD and Tesla cutting prices are going to eat into their margins and volume

        May not ultimately go under, but worth knowing the risk

        Geely is there to make money. If the brand isn’t making money they are pulling out. Buy polestar now and there won’t be any warranty or service in 2 years max
