I’ve seen these posted on a forum previously, the designer has done a great job, my solution to sun glass storage was to buy the Volvo sun glass holder and replace the handle over the driver door, works a treat
Sign me up! However, driving by myself I dont mind having the cupholder where it is. I often rest my arm on the left side of the center console, which is not too bad when you get used to it. I want to buy the cupholder for my passenger.
In the market now and looking at this. Storage is an issue but fwiw I think it’s far and away one of the best looking consoles/interiors in the EV space. I’d prefer more physical buttons too but again, I think they pull off the aesthetic better than most. Love the cockpit feel, love the materials, screen placement is reasonable. Gets an A from me on aesthetics/feel.
Wow-excellent video, Kris, and I’m so glad that someone out there came up with this idea! That sure solves a lot of problems. We can only hope that when it’s time to update the Polestar 2 in a few years (assuming they do a mid-cycle refresh), the designers will revisit their questionable center-console layout and come up with something better. In the meantime, ingenuity wins! 😀
I would buy all of these, also there is a pocket on the side of the console, I’d love to have a cover to hide the contents. Living in a city any way to not display contents in the car is a plus for theft deterrence. I even a cover option for the center console chargers would be plus.
Kris, I own a 2022 PS2, with the same colors in/out, how do I purchase the cup holder set? Unfortunately, I do not own a 3D printer. Thx for the video.
I actually don’t have a problem with the original cup holder and I also like the Center console it kind of feels safe. But that 3d printer stuff is pretty genius all the same .
Geez how much stuff do you need to carry inside the car?!?! I only have masks, a microfiber towel, tissues, and USB cables. It doesn't have door bins?? It doesn't have a overhead sunglass storage?? What about the storage on the sides of the center?? Wow those locations u used for that Pepsi can is just DUMB!! LOL!!!!
The reason for the poor storage and high console is almost certainly that all of that space is used for battery/technical space. Looking at the XC40, which I'm guessing has the same limitations, it looks like the problem has been solved in a better way there, by moving the selector control to the side and placing the cup holders alongside it, instead of behind and into the armrest. I'd almost be tempted to replace the Polestar console with one from Volvo, except that the volume knob/hazard and demister controls would also need to be moved/re-housed, which is not practical for DIY. It would be great if Polestar could completely redesign the solution, bringing it closer to the Volvo approach.
What is this cup holder fixation all about? Everyone has missed the point. This is a VERY cool car and so naturally the cupholders are designed for Espresso Ristretto, obsv.......
I don't have my Polestar yet, but when I test drove I didn't see the storage as an issue. I don't store much in the car though - phone, keys, wallet, sunglasses and some usb cables. Plenty of room for this with the storage compartments. Agree 100% on the cupholder though
Sign me up. Jeg hadde kjøpt både koppholderen og hyllene. Ser ut som de du har er printet i den lys grå fargen. Håper man kan lage en mørkere for å passe inn i min bil med det mørke interiøret.
polestar 2 would be EV of my choice if i would be buying/have money on EV... but what we can see in this video is a result of looks over practicality. there is no reason to have that central tunnel so huge and without almost zero storage.... yeah, there are batteries, but not higher than ankles of the passangers. there could be a big space behind the tablet, make shifter smaller, relocate it, etc etc... there is literally space for one cup holder between the shifter and actual cup holder.... and delete that gloss black BS around shifter and on the steering wheel buttons(would matte black from volvo xc model fits instead of them?)
That cup holder you hung off the glove box is an awful lump of plastic which just completely ruins the aesthetic of the interior. The cup holder is right next to you for goodness sake. Yes you have to reach back a bit to get to it but you get used to it. As for your arm rest, that's just plain bizarre. You aren't sitting on an armchair, you are driving a car. If you want to rest you whole forearm on the centre storage compartment then your hand isn't going to be anywhere near the steering wheel when you need both hands to manoeuvre the vehicle in an emergency situation. Do you want somewhere to place your cigar too?
While I love the car, have the same interior/exterior color, the cupholder design is lazy and stupid. There is ample space behind the table for fold-out cupholders. Yes, it's a bit more expensive and requires some thinking but older SAAB cars had them, heck, cars in the early 2000s had fold-out cupholders of various designs. Really lazy and weak design by Polestar. Yeah, cupholders/drinking beverages in the car is not the most important thing, but if you do something - do it right, do your best. This 3d printed design works, but, IMO, wrecks the clean interior design.
Cup holders have nothing to do with eating, so not sure what you are on about 🙈 Are you serially suggesting to stop and get out of the car every time you are a little thirsty while on a road trip? 🤣🙈
volvo is not more than chinese junk , i have 2022 electric volvo , change battery under waranty new in the box ( MADE IN CHINA ) , and now electric motor noisy , dealer order new one in the box ( MADE IN CHINA ) , why i pay for volvo and i get a CHINESE JUNK ??? next time i will buy a Geely , same car at half price
I drive 25000 miles a year and do not need storage space, Why? Because the more space you have then the more cr*p you keep. When did we all turn American and get obsessed with cupholders. If you want a drink then pull over and sit down and have one
You know it’s a Swedish car when you need to assemble parts yourself 😂😂 The interior in this car is horrible. To small/closed in and that middle console is just a mess. Hopefully, they will learn from Hyundai and Ioniq 5 for future models.
Is there any rumour out of Volvo/Polestar that they will redesign the centre console? Would hate to get one and then they radically change up and address the issue.
This reminds me of the German cars when they refused to install proper or ant cup holders. I really don’t like the battery pack going up the center tunnel, because it completely takes away the open feeling that you get in an EV. I think that it’s platform sharing that would enable a petrol engine, transmission and driveshaft to fit down that huge tunnel. I haven’t seen a design like this since the Chevrolet Volt / Opel Astra (I think).
When I was considering buying a Polestar 2 in December, I couldn't believe how UTTERLY STUPID the cup holders were. There should also be 2 wireless phone chargers, side by side, and put the tiny USB ports somewhere else. It seems like the cup holders were added as an afterthought, instead of doing a redesign. The person who designed that should go back to school and the person who approved it...well, I don't know. I bought a 2021 Tesla M3 LR. Problem solved :-). No, it wasn't the only reason, obviously. I love the Polestar 2, but it has a lot of refining to do yet. Heat pump would be a big one.
You don't like the quite large compartments on each side of the console? Outside, close to your right lower leg, and also on the passenger side...? Sunglasses (and more) fit very nicely there. Cup holder was nice, though.
Give this comment a like and comment “I would buy one” if you would actually buy a finished cup holder 😊 This way we can gauge the actual demand!
I would buy one!
Now Kris you have to buy a polestar!
I would actually buy one. Thanks Kris
I would buy one!
I would buy one

www.ebay.co.uk/itm/313402632272
That was the product I purchased
You forgot the two spaces on the sides of the middle area. There is a lot of space for sunglasses and facemasks. :-)
The cup holder is not too bad.
Now that we have solved this huge problem, let us tackle world hunger. Btw, i'm getting my PS2 in 3 weeks.
Haha 🤣🤣
Sign me up! However, driving by myself I dont mind having the cupholder where it is. I often rest my arm on the left side of the center console, which is not too bad when you get used to it. I want to buy the cupholder for my passenger.
So Kris, this post has been up for a while now. Is there a place yet to buy the cup-holder? I would buy one instantly.
In the market now and looking at this. Storage is an issue but fwiw I think it’s far and away one of the best looking consoles/interiors in the EV space. I’d prefer more physical buttons too but again, I think they pull off the aesthetic better than most. Love the cockpit feel, love the materials, screen placement is reasonable. Gets an A from me on aesthetics/feel.
I would certainly purchase all 3 items, thank you.
I definitely would buy a cup holder and a shelf for my polestar 2 here in the US; thanks!!!
Wow-excellent video, Kris, and I’m so glad that someone out there came up with this idea! That sure solves a lot of problems. We can only hope that when it’s time to update the Polestar 2 in a few years (assuming they do a mid-cycle refresh), the designers will revisit their questionable center-console layout and come up with something better.

Love the doubleshelf and cupholder.How can I buy them?
Thanks. I'd go for the cup holder for my P2...
I’m interested in the final product 🖐
Is this available? The link provided only shows how to 3D print. Thank you
How about the Airbag ?
I’d definitely buy both of these!
Wow that solution was great! :)
Really great vid man ! Keep it up !
Mucho Gracias Mi Amigo!
Hi, following all your videos and insights to the Polestar (ours arriving in June 2022), I'd definitely buy a cup holder! Best, M.
Is there a place I can buy the cup holders and not the 3D print? I don’t have a 3D printer. Thank you!
I would buy all of these, also there is a pocket on the side of the console, I’d love to have a cover to hide the contents. Living in a city any way to not display contents in the car is a plus for theft deterrence. I even a cover option for the center console chargers would be plus.
What exactly do you need to store in the car?!? The registration and manual..what else do you want ??
Sunglasses, bags, wallets, clean whiles, dry wipes, a bottle of two of water etc. somebody obviously hasn’t been on a road trip with kids 😅
Not going to get a 3D printer to do this. Anyplace it can be purchased?
What are they made of? I’m here in south Florida and the sun gets things really hot in summer. Any risk of melting? I’m definitely interested though.
Kris, I own a 2022 PS2, with the same colors in/out, how do I purchase the cup holder set? Unfortunately, I do not own a 3D printer. Thx for the video.
The cup holder is great. Well worth getting
I would buy the cup holder for sure.. how do I get one?
I´d buy that cupholder, for sure!
Surely Ikea has a practical solution for the lack of central storage?
I would buy one. the set that is shelves and especially the cup/waterbottle holder.
I actually don’t have a problem with the original cup holder and I also like the Center console it kind of feels safe. But that 3d printer stuff is pretty genius all the same .
same here
Are these products available? I would purchase all of these
Great video 👍 I would buy one 🙂
Great video 😃👍. I would buy one😃.
OMG, I should choose this interior package，it is so good to make PS2 from a toy to a real car!
I would absolutely buy one. Are they available yet?
Can I buy a finish cupholder yet?
I’d like to purchase a set of storage boxes and two cup holders thanks
I cannot find the link to buy the 3D printer files? Anybody have it?
I would definitely buy one!
Dette hadde jeg kjøpt!
Geez how much stuff do you need to carry inside the car?!?! I only have masks, a microfiber towel, tissues, and USB cables. It doesn't have door bins?? It doesn't have a overhead sunglass storage?? What about the storage on the sides of the center?? Wow those locations u used for that Pepsi can is just DUMB!! LOL!!!!
Would certainly buy the cup holder (if reasonable priced)
I would like a smartphone holder next to the tablet since Waze is still not available.
Yes please partner i want those finished pieces.
I would like all the storage options please 😀
Super , like to get it from your shop Pls :-)))
Regards
Erik ,Denmark

Bring it on!
I'm in Canada where you can't even buy a Polestar, but I do think it's really cool and I hope that it sells.
There are polestar spaces in Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver with more to come.
@@seanderasp8653 I stand corrected, thanks!
Awesome I’m into them 👍
I am interested in these products
Great solutions, but it would have been good if the cup holder was a few centimeters higher, considering the bottles.
Absolutely, the Polestar 2 center consol is just beyond stupid!
Can I purchase these items?
I would want one too!
I would certainly buy a set
Not too much of an issue if you have a no food and drink policy for your car. I like the little shelves though.
What is this cup holder fixation all about?
Everyone has missed the point.

“I would buy one” and also the storage tray. Tell me where to pay.
Would like to buy all three items
Kilo- metre as in kilo-watt!
I would buy one!!

Sign me up.
Jeg hadde kjøpt både koppholderen og hyllene.
Ser ut som de du har er printet i den lys grå fargen. Håper man kan lage en mørkere for å passe inn i min bil med det mørke interiøret.
Jeg vil veldig gjerne kjøpe koppholder 🙌
I would like to buy one!
If you sell them I will buy them!
I want the Cupholder.
I like to order these items
Anyway I can buy the cup holder, shelf from anybody... I don't have a 3d printer.... Thanks
I would by one!!
I would like to buy!
polestar 2 would be EV of my choice if i would be buying/have money on EV... but what we can see in this video is a result of looks over practicality.
there is no reason to have that central tunnel so huge and without almost zero storage.... yeah, there are batteries, but not higher than ankles of the passangers.
there could be a big space behind the tablet, make shifter smaller, relocate it, etc etc... there is literally space for one cup holder between the shifter and actual cup holder.... and delete that gloss black BS around shifter and on the steering wheel buttons(would matte black from volvo xc model fits instead of them?)
I would buy one, but I would have to wait because we have an XC60 PHEV and an I-Pace. So 2025 - 2027.
That cup holder you hung off the glove box is an awful lump of plastic which just completely ruins the aesthetic of the interior. The cup holder is right next to you for goodness sake. Yes you have to reach back a bit to get to it but you get used to it. As for your arm rest, that's just plain bizarre. You aren't sitting on an armchair, you are driving a car. If you want to rest you whole forearm on the centre storage compartment then your hand isn't going to be anywhere near the steering wheel when you need both hands to manoeuvre the vehicle in an emergency situation.
Do you want somewhere to place your cigar too?

This 3d printed design works, but, IMO, wrecks the clean interior design.
Booooooo i have to buy a 3d printer to make designs?
Stop drinking and eating in the car ,why is this a thing??? Get out at a stop and eat? Or do restaurants not have tables and chairs anymor
Cup holders have nothing to do with eating, so not sure what you are on about 🙈 Are you serially suggesting to stop and get out of the car every time you are a little thirsty while on a road trip? 🤣🙈
volvo is not more than chinese junk , i have 2022 electric volvo , change battery under waranty new in the box ( MADE IN CHINA ) , and now electric motor noisy , dealer order new one in the box ( MADE IN CHINA ) , why i pay for volvo and i get a CHINESE JUNK ??? next time i will buy a Geely , same car at half price

No no no. Ford Mustang Mach-E is the car.
Then you dont need to redesign your bad polestar 2.
i would also like to bye a set
Possible yo buy the shelves somewhere yet?
I want to buy one!
Siberia is watching you :) 🤳🙏
Is there any rumour out of Volvo/Polestar that they will redesign the centre console? Would hate to get one and then they radically change up and address the issue.
Don't drink and drive!
That solves everything 💡
I don't get what people would want with a cupholder in a car thats so nice it deserves a no food and drink policy.
great idea would buy the shelves and pair of cup holders when and if available
For me, the lack of storage is a big +. No rubbish....
I would buy one.
😮too much talk
Hi Kris,
What's about having a bottle there with the passenger airbag flying off in worst case??? Is it not in the way?
In a crash everything can happen, but I'd wager a guess the airbag sits higher, and that it would just push this cup holder down into the foot well.
This reminds me of the German cars when they refused to install proper or ant cup holders. I really don’t like the battery pack going up the center tunnel, because it completely takes away the open feeling that you get in an EV. I think that it’s platform sharing that would enable a petrol engine, transmission and driveshaft to fit down that huge tunnel.

I love the Polestar 2, but it has a lot of refining to do yet. Heat pump would be a big one.
That is cool , I just reviewed the polestar - - I thought the cup situation was odd!
You don't like the quite large compartments on each side of the console? Outside, close to your right lower leg, and also on the passenger side...? Sunglasses (and more) fit very nicely there. Cup holder was nice, though.
If (when) I get a Polestar 2 I will be getting these accesories.............well done to the guy who came up with these.
I’m in the UK have a black interior please let me know if I can order a cup holder and the 2 split console space savers please?
Wow, makes the Polestar 50 % better instantly. 😁
Exactly!
Please. If a cup holder makes any car 50% better, might consider not driving. Really.
The sides of that centre console seem to cut off the bottom of the screen. Most odd decision by Volvo, sorry Polestar.
