Very sweet cars. Many on the road in Austin. Every owner i talked to loves their Polestars. Sleek, nimble, autonomous, fast. And next models even sweeter.
Is the camera on the rear window heated? For example, in Norway it often happens that the snow that falls is slightly wet and in the morning at in the morning it is very frosty, so there will be a lot of ice on the rear camera that cannot be removed manually. Did the manufacturer remedy this somehow?
Subjective opinion but no, not gorgeous. Expensive Chinese crap that’ll depreciate faster than the speed of light. Polestar cars are the equivalent of white goods. I’ll never be excited about the look of new microwave.
@@JelloTypeRYou’re absolutely right. Completely subjective. Why is this more of a kitchen appliance than a petrol car? It’s something I hear from luddites frequently yet there’s no obvious reason why. It’s a Chinese owned brand and built but Scandinavian designed and engineered. In a similar way to Jaguar Land Rover and the Indians. Welcome to a globalised world. The rest of us have been living in it for decades. You really don’t like change do you?
The audio is a bit of a mess here. Presenter is talking quickly, at a low volume level, and then background audio is being mixed in at a similar level. Most of this could have been handled in post.
I have had Polestar 2 Performance for about a year having transitioned from an 'engineered by Polestar V60 - a truly impressive performance car. The Polestar 2 is a strange mix - the performance and handling are superb but it really lacks the quality or premium fittings and atmosphere of my previous car or other premium brands such as BMW. It will be interesting to see in the flesh how it compares with the Polestar 4. At the moment, I am sold on electric but not on Polestar whereas the BMW electric range seems to consist of superb vehicles and I think my next buy will be in that direction
Since Polestar has been deemed worth 0 SEK by the banks and Volvo announcing that they will stop funding Polestar should you really buy one? Might not be around much longer.
Not for van drivers 🤣 or older peopleo that learn faster to use eletric cars like Tesla! But maybe for youngesters that don't have a license and middle age that are obsessed with a particular brand from 3 in 3 years , for those will be difficult!
I am almost happy it will be too late to be my current car replacement. the basic version is way to weak to justify the price, and the dual motor with an improved interior is way too expensive. I am sorry, but 4k for massage seats? I hope in 2025 they will review the pricing they have to separate P3 and P4 otherwise they will cannibalise the sales.
All SUV's are virtual clones of each other? They should price them by weight! The heaviest has the biggest battery but not range! But it does have the most internal room & crash survivablity! Come in RR Cullinan!
Not sure how it can be an SUV when it sits closer to the ground and has lower roofline than a model 3. Not going to bother Tesla much I don’t think. They are not pricing it to compete. They want a different market. But wouldn’t mind a bit of Teslas if they can get it.
Reversing out of my drive needs visibility out of the rear window and the rear side windows. Getting rid of the rear window would need an inward facing screen in the back so I can look over my shoulder and see behind and up and down the road without switching between looking out the back and in the rear view mirror.
it’s too expensive, Teslas sell because they’re relatively inexpensive. The Polestar 4 is a re-skinned Zeekr 001 but without the air suspension. So it’s not really luxury enough for the exorbitant price tag. I would not be surprised if Polestar are bankrupt within the next 18 months
Just as much range (if not more) as a comparable (Model Y) Tesla, better build quality, faster, better handling and ride quality, better interior materials, Google Automotive UI (which many may prefer over Tesla UI), far more unique and distinctive, and very arguably a better exterior and interior design. Yea, you’re right, there’s no argument Polestar is better 😂
Tesla and Porsche don’t need to watch for anything It’s a nice car and I own a polestar 2. But I also own a Taycan and a Tesla. There is nothing comparable to that Porsche and the Tesla is in its own lane
The top spec is good value, all things considered. However the entry level car's 0-100 is 7.1secs ? For the same price you can buy a model Y performance. Its 0-100 in 3.7... They really need to drop the price on their entry level model or at least improve its 0-100 in the sub 5.5 secs range. Otherwise they really will not sell alot of PS4s.... and that will drag down its profit. They need to sell at least 20,000 units to start making profit. I really like this Polestar and I will get one but I am worried.
Hahaha no. Funny how delusional fools like you act like teslas could reach the comfort or luxury of brands like Polestar. Teslas don’t even have drivers displays
Of course Tesla aren't toast. Tesla are dominant. It's everyone else fighting for survival in the EV space. Tesla have such a huge profit margin, they can drop prices any time they need. Is anyone else actually making a profit?
It´s a crossover.I´m not interested. I drove the Polestar 2 and I didn´t like it. It´s too high. The Polestar 5 is the one that looks it´s going to be a saloon. I´ll better wait for the Polestar 5.
Right. With one of the biggest chinese car companies, Geely, behind this and Volvo etc. No, they're probably not going bankrupt I'd say. Also, just lease EVs. No issies with whatever happens after, be it technological advancement or this fear of dead batteries (which usually doesn't even happen .. they lose capacity).
@@stewartbalmer1515 no, it’s all over the internet, just Google it. Just a risk people should be aware of when spending a lot of their money on a new EV. Volvo who owns Polestar is in turn owned by Geely and we have heard how the Chinese economy is suffering at the moment and needs to find cash and stop spending. I personally think Polestar is unlikely to go bankrupt but as the sums of money buying a luxury EV are so big I wouldn’t choose a polestar at the moment if I was buying own of these privately as depreciation is already pretty savage even without this risk happening.
@@stewartbalmer1515I thought the same until model 3 Highland came. Nobody offers more than model 3 for.the price, no contest. With the refresh of Model Y if will happen then same. Polestar is toast
News Flash! EV sales in the US are tanking….the public is starting to turn against the concept. Once a trend like this starts, it’s very hard to turn it around for a while. 🙄😏🤔🤨
Toyota made the mistake of waiting too long. Now they realise and try to convince people of that cause their most value as a brand is the reliability of their cars. Electric is the future and Toyota will be eaten by Chinese brands and Tesla and they know an electric car doesn't have the complexity on what they excel. Hard times will come for Toyota soon.
Polestar is a dead man walking. Its share price has collapsed. The company's value has been marked down to ZERO. You'd be insane to buy one now. Do you think spare parts are ever going to be available? Or a replacement battery in a few years time? If you got one for free it would be more trouble than it was worth.
EVs are for the non-scientific and those who are easily conned as they're very far from clean with their manufacture and subsequent running including particulates from tyre wear.
Tyre wear? Clearly you haven’t done your research for someone so “scientific”. And EVs already are greener than ICE vehicles over their respective lifespans. Keep in mind, this is the first decade of significant EV adoption. With greener manufacturing and powering of grids, this gap will continue to increase. The irony is that you’ve been conned by the oil special-interests into thinking I e vehicles will continue. Get with it, ICE are on their way out.

I’ll remix for $100.
What a beautifully made video. Really good review look forward to the road test. 👍
i'm big fan of a polestar 4 one day i gonna test the new polestar 4
This looks way better than the 2
Love the car. Very brave loosing the rear window but it works! I’ve no problem with sound or understanding every word!
Great video! Keep polestar videos!!!
The design is stunning. Overall a car suited for everyone 👏

It atleast beats Tesla in build quality😂😂😂
Finally vehicle to load! I hope there is a camping mode too.
As long as battery is above 15% it will keep the interior nice and cozy. No dedicated mode tho
Beautiful vehicle, hopefully Volvo pulling out won't impact it's production.
00:14: Why does he make a statement and then say “didn’t they?”
That’s a conversational trick I use. Unless you respond negatively, you’re in agreement with the statement and will recall the conversation as such.
Cars like this are good. But I can already tell that the depreciation levels will be too high
Since Polestar has been deemed worth 0 SEK by the banks and Volvo announcing that they will stop funding Polestar should you really buy one? Might not be around much longer.
They will stick around… probably financed by big oil tho…
Great video! Thanks for being detailed. Great job! Looking forward to leasing that car.
The voice is mixed with the background music making it very hard to follow, also speaking very fast herr and there.
Lovely design
Way too pricey compared to Model 3 or Y
It doesnt compete with the 3 or Y. That is the polestar 2
sorry but cameras don't always work. Ever heard of the sun? Or driving at night, or rain and other types of storm blocking the camera?
Ever heard of the fact that cameras aren’t always as bad as they are in a smartphone?
The no rear window screen will be a huge detractor for many
Not for van drivers 🤣 or older peopleo that learn faster to use eletric cars like Tesla! But maybe for youngesters that don't have a license and middle age that are obsessed with a particular brand from 3 in 3 years , for those will be difficult!
TESLA is not longer from California but from Texas....
Playing this at 3/4 speed makes the guy sound normal and the music from 70s skin flick.
Lovely car BUT will they still be in Business in 12 months given there value has been written down to zero...
Spitting false facts here. Saying it charges quicker than a Tesla. 200kw vs 250
Not only that, it is less efficient than a Tesla, so charging speed in mi/hr is even worse.
Apparently Tom has never heard of the term “charging curve” smh.
LUCID AIR TOURING IS THE BEST EV ON THE MARKET.
I really want one with the premium hrmon krdon soeakers but the car is way too expensive wothout rebates
Is this guy on speed?

Is the presenter petite or the car large?
Car is 4 meters 60 cm
Good video but feels like presenter is speaking at 1.5x speed…… slow down n speak clearly ….
1000 quid a month on a lease. Stupid money. It needs to be substantially cheaper to make sense.
car is beautiful...love it
"Things are about to get really busy for Polestar'.
Yesh, busy going bankrupt I think. Volvo now declared they want out of their 48% ish share.
Sorry what polestar has sold more than Tesla? 😂😂🤡🤡🤡

Q: Is Polestar better than Tesla:
A: No.

@@jayem8981 - I disagree on all points. I've driven both. The Tesla is just...better.
@@ccchhhrrriiisss100 Yea, you clearly aren’t being serious and/or are incredibly biased. The Y is nothing special.

Who dares buy a Polestar now?
Good luck selling a Polestar if they go kaput. EV's need software updates, specialist parts & maintenance.

And also why do you evolutionary setbacks only look at acceleration? Have you ever driven a car?
Are they calling it an SUV ? No it's not
I hope you can spec the car without those ridiculous naff/kitsch yellow vomit inducing seat belts! Black or grey ones please!
just get non performance version
It's the performance version that I would want. I just don't want those ridiculous seat belts.
@@Hifimusicman OK :) Then tough luck in that case.

Talking way to fast!
fast, yes, but too fast? no way. totally acceptable
Just say you don't understand his accent.
Slow it down u tune lets u do this in settings
The music volume 🤪
I actually like the speed, fast, precise and to the point.
Stupid clickbait headlines
There's a reason why Volvo is dumping these from their franchise, could it be the poor chinese quality ?

They will go bankrupt before that
Tesla looks like a joke next to any Polestar
Brave buying an EV where long warranty for the battery is vital from a company at risk of going bankrupt…….
Won’t happen with Volvo backing

Only FOX wants you to think that they are tanking….
I wonder whether the ride quality will be as horrid as in their previous models
P*3 has air suspension and and p*4 has the same suspension as the zeekr 001 which is very comfortable

Car sucks gas
First thought is that it’s not dog friendly with no back glass
TESLA DEFENCE FORCE! ACTIVATE!
Long range single motor does 0-60 6.9 seconds, slower than a Kia Forte GT. Let that sink in. Embarrassing.
Or maybe just understanding market and a bit of common sense ... majority of people do not need or want crazy fast cars.
If you had of spoken more slowly and clearly I might have understood what you were trying to tell me. Lousy video.

Yeah ... while I am fan of Polestar both Porsche and Tesla are in somewhat different segments.
