Never desired an EV; too pricey in every way & too many potential problems.....and never heard of the Polestar brand. C’est la vie.

I’ve seen a few Polestar EVs around but not many.

They are outrageously priced and yes EVs in general are fraught with potential problems IMO.

They have their champions right here on FR but I ain’t one of ‘em.

Living in Florida, every time a hurricane blows through some of ‘em pop off and catch fire from salt water intrusion at the main battery.

And don’t get me started on the environmental impact of the mining, manufacturing and disposal of those batteries.

Gasoline forever! I say......and I have the T shirt to prove it.
