Happy New Year! Lots of exciting content already planned for January and February!! Thanks for watching our videos 🥰
Bro, your charging analysis and info is stellar! Absolutely vital if you wanna buy this, or any, electric car! Thanks for all the hard work!
Portland, JAMAICA in the Building!!!
Waiting to see a thorough review on Honda pilot.
The pqssanger seat is just raised higher this is why you don’t have any head space. When you were on thr driver side it was ok.
What ever happened to the Hyundai Kona Electric?
Everytime I see a Polestar on the road I always look twice. They looks great! I always assume the drivers have good taste
You two are some of the only reviewers who point out problems with charging, and we need more of this kind of honesty
Teslas are the only models without a charging infrastructure issue. All other brands that depend on Electrify America are for all intents and purposes just in city cars.
Vote for a government who cares about infrastructure not the conservatives who defund it.
@@fireworkmuffins Government intervention is what caused part of the Electrify America mess. I had faith that network would work well but I was wrong. I would trust Shell and Chevron more to continue building out DC fast charging at existing gas stations as they see their revenues decrease.
@@SWTrailsAndWheels Ah yes, trust the mighty oil giants to save us once again and grant us our freedoms once more. They have our backs.
@@fireworkmuffins I don't trust anyone to do anything. Just saying that their business and profit motives are more likely to result in working infrastructure than the junk VW has installed with a gun held to their head by the U.S., Canadian, and European govmts.
2022 P2 owner here. Best car I have ever owned! Turns heads on the road, handles well, excellent sound system, and practical in many areas. Considering the Polestar 5 as my next move once it goes into production.
Same here, mine is in the shop(somebody rear ended me). They gave me a brand new ix1 M sport as a rental. As soon as I started driving it, I felt like I went from a horse to a donkey.
The BMW was definitely more roomy on the inside, heck even comfier by a hair. But the Polestar is more practical for day to day use, and also a lot more fun to drive.
Been waiting for you guys to review this, and coming from an owner you pretty much summed it perfectly. I'm 6'4", ordered the car online having never sat in it and hit my head on the roof the first time getting in. The seats thankfully go down, and I eventually found a position that was really comfortable. After about a week I learned to love how it hugs you. Obsessed with how it drives compared to my old Model Y, and I personally like how it's more understated compared to the Tesla.
FYI - you can turn the HVAC on in the car by hitting the "play/pause" button if the car isn't in gear.
It’s not like other Volvos for guys named Sven
Agreed. I'm also 6'4" and love how it fits. one of the best cars I've owned so far!
I saw one of these on the road (and another in a parking lot) in Toronto recently, and I have to say, they look SO good in person. SO much road presence, such a handsome looking car. I don't even know another word for it. It's just handsome and pleasing to look at, and totally unique compared to anything else on the road today. The closest aesthetic comparison I could think of would probably be a modern Lincoln Continental, but just, cleaned up, much more muscular, and with even better proportions.
Pictures definitely do not do it justice though, I did not hold this car in as high regard until I saw one IRL
I love my Polestar 2. It was a huge gamble at the time because the market was so insane and the technology was, and still is, so new. It’s worked for us though and charging overnight with an installed level 2 system at home has been such a blessing. Always starting your day with full battery like your iPhone is such a convenience! Also there is a power tube that Polestar just release that bumps the torque to over 500 and the horsepower to ~480. Of course I bought it even on a leased vehicle! Only negative on this car is the rear glass visibility is seriously almost as bad as a Camaro. Make sure you like that before you buy one.
Yes a volvo. That's what you get ...awesome vechiles
I really like the Polestar 2. If I was in the market for a new car, and electric made sense for my current situation... it'd be on the list.
Just don't like the exterior design at all. It's such a shame, cause the rest looks pretty interesting. Wouldn't trade my Taycan for this tho...
@nogoodname8133 that’s a weird humblebrag
@@LilBrotherWatches didn't mean to brag, just took delivery of mine and I'm still so excited about it... I've put almost 2k km in 3 days... that's how much I've been loving it.
I used to have a Model S 75 before this and boy, what a difference. But that's off topic...
I did test drive a Polestar 2 with the performance package, it's actually really good, the interior is good, performance is good, but it's just so damn ugly...
@@LilBrotherWatches the Polestar 3 and 4 on the other hand look sexy as hell.
@@nogoodname8133 The Taycan is beautiful, but by the time I'd option that out, it'd be double the Polestar 2's price.
Oh man, Canada needs to allow companies to charge by the kWh like they do in the US. That scheme of changing prices based on how fast your car is supposed to be able to charge is crazy.
They've opened up per/kWh charging now. Just have to manage a changeover.
*I just sat in one at the dealer. I am 6"6" tall and I felt like a big grasshopper shoved into a small match box. NOT FOR TALL PEOPLE!!! I ended up with a Telsa 3 and I have plenty of room including my son how is 7" tall. (P.S. I did buy a KIA EV6 at first and it have total Electrical failure after only 3 weeks ownership and 500 miles and the dealer said it would take 5 months to fix so it had a MAJOR factory defect of some kind!!! Dealer refunded my purchase price only AFTER I spent $2000.00 to hire a real scary Lawyer and he faxed them a nasty letter! Kia is too new at the electric car game so better give them 5 more years to catch up or end up being their Guinea Pig like I was!!!)*
Love you're reviews! Any chance you all could do more over you head-to-heads? I love the older videos where you pitted EV against each other.
I feel like last time I commented on one of your videos that noted public EV chargers it was taken negatively, but I honestly appreciate you guys calling out the faults in public chargers and forcing providers to address it!!I love your videos and have followed you since the Element days.
The polestar name is baised on the north star. That is why the logo is a star.
I’m so happy you guys are doing this one! I’ve waited soooo long!
Can confirm, the state of the charging network seems to be way better in Quebec. The Hydro Québec chargers (circuit electrique) are always working in my experience.
I own a Polestar 2 Performance and i love it. Placed an order for the new Polestar 3 too!
You guys need to be on a government committee on EV charging infrastructure.
Had the Polestar 4WD for a 45min test by myself. Good fun and a very nice ride. Cabin space is a little cramped for anyone but the driver and did not have to charge it. Would only by full EV once I have a charger at my house. Then I would consider the car.
Put in a charger at home. It’s well worth it. Save a tonne on gas money you don’t have to spend. And Maintenance
Nothing but a disposable throw away
@@America1st69 all cars in the last 10 years are nothing but disposable throwaways👍😎🇨🇦
I love the driving feel of mine so much I keep taking it to the track, Polestar isn't for everyone but if it's for you they REALLY crushed it.
Do you live in the GTA area? What track do you go to? I have the C40 and am interested in trying it on a track.
I randomly got one of these as a rental (thank you for the mixup Hertz). I was blown away. Comically quick, love the sport seats, infotainment was great. In love. I’m thin and 5’8”, I fit in the car perfectly. Range is a bit terrible. I had to charge it daily for my few days of use. Good work.
We own a P2 front wheel drive and XC40 Recharge. Love the cars and both apps do work. Sorry you couldn't make it happen. As for size, I can see if someone is 6ft+ space would be limited. Otherwise, plenty of space. As for charging price, measurement Canada will allow kWh charging sometimes in 2023 which will fix the issue. :)
You can preheat the car in the HVAC settings, and the app does work in Canada to do the same.
It was greyed out for me
Another method to keep the car 'On' while being away is to press the play/pause button when the car is 'Off' to turn on what is commonly known as accessory mode, which runs the heater.
Yes, FINALLY!!! I've been waiting for you two to review the Polestar 2!
Got my P2 in Oct 2021 and after 15 months, I'm still loving it. My only nitpick would be the UA-cam Music app which I use to play music from my playlists. Sometimes the streaming/downloading doesn't work, so I have to switch to a bluetooth media player app and play the music from my phone which is more cumbersome. I wish the UA-cam Music app in the car would allow you to download your songs and playlists and play them from storage instead of having to only stream them.
I wanted a BMW i4 initially but your rant is the exact reason why I chose a Model 3 over one. My Tesla is a perfect daily driver but that's about it. I miss the handling dynamics, the way the seats hug me and especially the fit and finish quality of a BMW. I drove from Toronto to PEI last Summer and A Better Route Planner routed me all the Superchargers along the way. But when I changed the car to a BMW i4, it said I wouldn't be able to make it. Once Tesla releases their Superchargers to the public like in Europe and/or when these public chargers get their shit together, I'm trading my Model 3 for an i4 in a heartbeat.
Thanks for always keeping it real!!
You can preheat by pressing the climate icon, then parking icon. As you leave the Poster 2 will balance the interior temperature.
Absolutely loving mine. The gold seatbelts are a must (and the ohlins damper upgrade makes it unbreakable in the canyons)
Happy New Year! Love the video as always guys. If I can make a suggestion is to separate the review of the EV infrastructure from the car review. Upon starting the video I was under the impression the Polestar was bad at charging (when its been great on other reviews) but it's actually because of the crappy Ontario infrastructure. I feel you could have spent more time reviewing the car instead. I would have love to know more details about the not being able to use the App in Canada, is it only for the Pre-heating?
What makes the Polestar attracting is that in Canada, it's one that you can get really fast compare to other models.
Next time do an EV review in Quebec :) Would love to see you guys around here for it.
Agree - came here to suggest the same thing. The latter half of the video isn’t even about the car, it’s just a rant about the charging network in the GTA. They’re fair points and I do appreciate all the testing you guys are doing but as suggested, maybe do it in a separate video and instead give more details about the car itself. It really degrades the quality of the review IMO
That’s dumb
Yuri’s flee market jacket makes me think of the civic he built
Great review. Seeing so many on the road these days both in California before I left in October and up here in the Pacific Northwest. I hope it continues to sell well.
yep, same here in the Boston area... they sold 50k of these vehicles worldwide last year, and that makes sense to me, given how often I see them on the road now. Beautiful looking car. The iPad-like infotainment screen just looks horrible, though, and is a huge turn-off to me (as is any car that has them, like Teslas, Mach-E, etc.).
Thanks for fun content it inspires me to create my own :)
Omg yesterday I was looking to see if you guys had uploaded a video of this car and just saw that you did this morning 😂
You can preheat via the app, or by setting a preconditioning timer within the center screen of the car, or if you go out to the car you can open the door, reach in and press either the Play/Pause button or the home button on the center screen and that 'starts' the heat or a/c and the radio, etc.
It would take a couple of real motor journalist to point out those type of things. These guys mostly just like to do burnouts with sports cars.
happy new year guys! great review! thanks! keep up the good stuff!
I'm actually surprised things are that bad over in Canada.
The situation is a lot better down here in Costa Rica.
I love that the wheels are inverted classic Volvo 5 spokes
I own a P2. Would love you guys to try out the performance pack with the 76HP upgrade. Huge difference in drive quality. And you are 100% on the charging issues. Ontario has to be the worst market in the developed world for non-Tesla charging. The holidays were a total shitshow. Still glad I bought the car though. If you have a reliable local charging solution, it's all good 90% of the time.
Last time I drove from Ottawa to Markham I almost got stuck, got TEN chargers not working on the way...
Worst? Try Manitoba.
@@kurtpenner2362 yeah, i've heard Manitoba and Saskatchewan are pretty rough to find reliable charging
Wait, you guys can't use Tesla's infrastructure in Canada? It's not cheap, but in a last ditch attempt it's better than getting stuck...
@@nogoodname8133 Nope. Unfortunately here in North America there's no government to impose a charging standard like EU.
Very good review, guys. Entertaining!
Thank you James
Happy New Year boys cheers from Atlantic Canada👍😎🇨🇦 it seems to me with the way the prices of vehicles are going poor and middle-class people won't be driving their own cars in a few years. Probably just renting or buying used. Just an observation but what do I know. love your channel keep up the great work
I'm picking up one tomorrow!
I test drove one of these recently and really liked it.
The sticker on the side is giving me Virgil Abloh Off-White vibes. Wouldn't doubt if that's where they got the idea, considering how popular the brand Off-White got
Ahh we all missed you boys! Happy times ahead 😎
I’ve always been curious to drive the Polestar 2 (as an i4 owner especially it’s an interesting comparison). Great video!
It is awful compared to the i4...drove both...noisy, you feel any hole in the street...lane Assist is a nightmare...pushes steerig wheel out of your hands. I would never think again about any polestar
I was considering both and ended up with Polestar 2.
I think I would have been happy with both.
Polestar has more firm suspension and maybe sport version I feel are more 'sporty'.
I4 feels more 'luxorious' and M50 definitely has power to match.
For me P2 infotainment is best there is. Google navigation is awesome and I like that all touch points are pretty big. Easy to hit while driving.
During winter traction control is way better than in I4 (or M3P). I do not kill all the power immediately when your turn steering wheel (I4) or randomly put power back and forth (like M3P).
Noise levels with similar tyres pretty much same as in I4 M50.
Many of the shortcomings of early P2s (like mobile app, TCAP reset stuff, ...) are fixed in current versions.
Just to confirm i live in Québec and the charging Network are reliable. But most of the charger are 50kwh but the New installation are more 150kwh and some 350kwh. The family as 1 électric and une gas car since 2017 and are planning to go to 2 Electric soon.
Finally! Love the Polestar2! Please include the baby seat in the back of all future reviews! It’s very relevant data that a lot of us that are Jakub size with babies need!
YEAH!!! Sunvisor Test (TM) and Car seat Test (TM)!!!!
Pre-heating is a thing. Pre-heat on an adhoc basis via the app and/or set a scheduled time to heat via the app or car. Also, you can keep the car 'running' after you step out by pressng the play/puse/volume knob.
los extrañe chicos, bienvenidos de nuevo, saludos desde mexico, son los mejores... polestars
Good EV alternative for a single/DINK household as it's pretty small inside. Reminds me the niche that Saab used to fill. Pricey when speced though.
I just saw one of these this morning in the dark and couldn’t tell what it was. The taillights look like no other car. Now I know what I saw! Lol. Looked good though!
In the US any EV charge stations that charge based on time, do so at the request or mandate of the state it resides in. Otherwise the charge station will charge based on amount of power delivered. That may be the case in Canada as well.
Finally! I hope you can try the Performance version with even better driving feel and 350kW
I have the P2 with 476 power upgrade. It goes like a scalded rat. The car is mine, my husband has an ICE vehicle for journeys with the kids, because the Poley really isn't suitable for 3 to sit in the rear, especially tall teenage boys. The rear visibility is limited but still adequate, and the cupholder is not a problem for me, as I don't like to eat or drink in my cars. I bloody love it, it is my first EV and I am used to driving luxury vehicles, ie. Audi V8 (S5) and A45S AMG. Polestar is better to drive and the torque is insane. Mine is this colour too- Thunder!
neat. I think what keeps a lot of people away from EV's is not the charge station issues (though I'm sure it's a factor), it's that your test car was ~75k. That's a lot for a small car, in the ICE space you'd get a lot more car for the money.
It is a luxury brand. The BMW 330e is a nice comparison to this if pure EV is out. The price is only about $4k difference.
Yeah, not sure what you mean. The Nissan Leaf exists. Obviously the nicer the car, the more expensive it will be. You can't criticize all EVs because this one happened to be expensive.
75k almost fully loaded, this is just missing the performance package. It has every single option but that. The baseprice of 58K is more reasonable.
@@nopota7290, "more reasonable", but still not affordable for a lot of people. We need electric cars in the compact / starter car area more than we need more luxury brands with big price tags.
If you drive a lot like I do (over 100 miles a day) the cost is the same as a regular car. No gas and maintenance really did make my Tesla’s monthly cost just as much as my used Scion tC
Great review. Thank you. I love the Polestar 2.
I am 6’3 and could not fit comfortably into any model Polsestar I tried at the mall.
Maybe don’t be 6’3
@@whizkid235 maybe don’t be 100% correct!
@@Lifeneverlost I’m 6”1 and I fit in perfectly so idk maybe try and adjust the seats fam
6’1 220 it’s heaven !!!!!
I’m 6’4 and fit well with the rest low and tight. I’m also 220lbs/100kg
Been waiting on this one
Love a good charging rant.
Convincing my dad to get a polestar. Love the channel guys!
Been getting Polestars at National Car Rental all around the US. It's a great car! I'm hoping to get one myself soon too!
Rocking the 90s arctic cat jacket nice 🤌🏻
Also, the app works here in Canada fine, no issues preconditioning it
Been waiting for this review. Thanks!!! Gotta say, it sucks that you guys are charged per minute. Around my area, all of the Electrify America chargers are Price / kWh, which makes way more sense.
Necessary to kick selfish a-holes off the charger, otherwise they’d plug in and go shopping for 4 hours.
@@youmongrel I think the solution there is to have idle fees. And make them really expensive. If you are charged after 10 minutes you start getting charged $1 / minute 🙂
If you don't have strong pressure on the wheel when using lane centering assist it plays Sandstorm - Darude.
Probably my favourite EV on sale today, hands down. That and the third party dealers that are ordering it to sell on their lots, are coming down in price, so one could get one for roughly MSRP, especially the Front motor variants.
Drive it and the i4...and you will never think about this car anymore...one of the worst I have ever driven...extremly noisy...you hear the wheels and Wind all the time...lane Assist is the worst ever driven...pushes steering wheel out of your hands. The seating Position made me claustrophopic...
@@josefv8708 I've driven both and I thnk it comes down to a matter of preference. Not to menion the ID4 and Polestar 2 target _very_ different buyers.
I like these; would opt for the 476HP Perf Pack but as others commented still waiting for some more range and infrastructure improvements here in the US and for Tesla to open up to use by non-Tesla models on their supercharger network
Quite a big range improvement for the 2024 refresh
Have they improved the horrible plastic used in the oversized transmission tunnel thing on the 2021 model?
As a 6' 3" individual, I opted to buy a Volvo C40 over the Polestar 2 when I was shopping. Same drivetrain system and power delivery, just in an SUV crossover platform. Very similar in a lot of areas overall. If I was shorter, I would have definitely purchased the Polestar 2.
As a stockholder in Polestar, this puts a smile on my face.
Had one of these as a rental and it was amazing! Only crappy thing was the packaging is a bit on the small side and the cup holder situation sucks. The large center console makes me feel a bit more claustrophobic than say an Ioniq5.
It’s about damn time! Love my Polestar 2 with the performance pack
I drove one of these when i was in the market last year. Nice car. Beautiful, drives well, nice materials inside. Three things ultimately sent me in another direction: 1. It's just a little too small and the cockpit a little too snug for my wants/needs. 2. Polestar dealer network is thin; the closest one to my home was 1.5 hours away. 3. Range is just a little bit less than what I'm willing to accept.
Totally agree. Would not recommend this car if you're far outside a large metro area and need to drive +300km/day. As for "too small" it really depends on you and your hauling (human or otherwise) needs.
Petro Canada has issued with their chargers right across Canada, either charging very slow or not working at all.
Have the launch edition dual motor now 2 years. Love it. The app works in the States to preheat. Can use voice command on Google Assistant from phone or smart speaker also to preheat, lock, unlock, check battery range. Tesla announced it is opening charging network in North America to non-Teslas. That’s already happened in parts of Europe. We all need better charging networks.
Can you put the backward facing car seat in the middle so then it’s not protruding against the driver and passenger seat?
I live in the states, and drive an EV6. I drive a lot for work, most of the time, it’s within 100 miles, so I just charge at home. But 1-2x month, I drive far away (250 miles +) and the Electrify America chargers have worked great. I know I am probably the exception. And it charges $.43/kw hr
Happy New Year guys, good Canadian channel. Thanks. Polestar/ (North Star) 😉 anyway, for about $20,000 less you could get a fully loaded EV6, IONIQ 5, or ID4. ID4 software, maybe not. But what do you think, being a tall guy? I’m a 6’-6 (2M) guy? I’ve been looking at EVs for the last two years and see infrastructure being installed but with many problems. Your thinking of plug-in hybrids doing the trick for now seems like a good choice too.
If it’s a 1 car household, plug in hybrid is the best right now. If you can have a gas car and EV for daily driving no road trips with charging at home, then an Ioniq 5 would be great - Jakub
@@TheStraightPipes thanks for the reply .
Come try out the Circuit électrique here in Québec … never had issues ! Their app is off the charts too!
You can turn on pre heat with the car of. There is a button in the climate menu under „parking“.
It was greyed out for me unless plugged in
@@TheStraightPipes Strange, maybe not enough battery? Or some sort of regulatory reasons…
Canada just needs to get their shit together and allow per kwh pricing instead of $/min
Yellow Seatbelts are a must. I love this car
I have a Polestar Dual 2021 and split my time between Toronto and Montreal. I have never had a problem finding a charger. The ones at the PetroCan stations are credit card tap and work well. Also, I use the Polestar app all the time. I can lock my doors with it, use it as a key and preheat my car with it all the time. I don't understand why you think the app doesn't work in Canada.
Looks really nice this car of yours, normal Joe's like myself would be able to have it in about 20-30 years from new 😂
Sick jacket. Artic cat. Gotta get the kid a kitty cat snowmobile
I love my P2, anxious for the performance upgrade to be available in the states
Did you try the “stab and go” to induce some oversteer?
Thanks for the fun review. There are a few Polestar 2 EVs here in Hong Kong! I find the grille to be odd looking (due to the gaps), and would like to know whether it collects debris and is easy to clean ... your views please?
I've had mine for 18 months now. It's not a problem.
I have been using the Polestar app since I’ve got mine December 2021.
Do the adapters that allow you to charge at tesla chargers change your mind?
About the charging. Arent tesla chargers available now for other cars? atleast here in germany / netherlands they are !
My partner and I have one, we have the base wheel (the optional ones are icky in my opinion haha) we have the tow hitch on it and it tows like nothing is behind it. But it's a great car, we love it to death.
Love the electric car episodes
Had mine for a month now, love it. Already would have spent 180 on gas. So nice to just get in and drive. So just reduce your monthly payment by your monthly gas and that's how much it really costs.
My Ioniq5 Ultimate was in the body shop and had a Polestar P2 for a week - during the epic snowstorm *of the Decade* in Vancouver. Yeah, laugh... but it was a real Eastern snow- dry and voluminous. Roads were horrible. The series of storms would have shut down Montreal for 1/2 a day. Yet, the car drove like a dream on the non- M+S all-season tires.
Compared to the Ioniq5, the instrumentation and screen layout in the Polestar seemed much more integrated and coordinated. It is way prettier all-round, for sure. While the Ioniq5 has landmark styling, I prefer the 'normalness' of the Polestar sedan. But...
That said- I way, way waaaay prefer my Ioniq5. The Polestar felt cramped in every way. No real elbow room. No real knee room. Poor headroom and getting in and out was a pain- literally. The way I had to stoop over to get in and out hurt my neck. I found the screen controls to be clunky. I found that the materials, no matter how vaunted they are to have been recycled, seemed cheap with hard or almost-hard plastics under the fabric. Fit and finish was poor. There were squeaks. Seats were uncomfortable with "numb-ass" setting in in a single hour of driving.
The range isn't as good as the Ioniq5. There's way more room in the Ioniq5. As you stated, there's no remote app to start the car to heat it. No 'accessory mode' for running the sound system so if you're on a bluetooth phone call and put the car into park, the infotainment system cuts out very shortly thereafter. Its acceleration logarithm is different; slower off the mark with the power applied more gradually than the Ioniq5 so from 0 the Ioniq5 will beat the Polestar. But the worst part was how cramped the car felt.
And the Ioniq5 (even if you buy after-market) is cheaper at the top trim than the Polestar at top trim.
Someone just asked for more head-to-heads. Here's one: Polestar P2 v. Ioniq5 Ultimate.
I just love my IONIQ 5. I have the standard range with a 58kWh battery and I get almost the same range of the Polestar 2 they had in the video. Yeah, the IONIQ 5 is spacious, kids dont want to go back in the back seats of the kona now. Lol.
By the way, It takes a lot of snow to close the roads in Québec... We are used to it, and equiped to deal with it. I think you meant Toronto, not Montréal, like they call the army when they got too much snow... :D
I now need an edit of when Yuri was imitating the steering wheel sound when there's not enough pressure made into "Sandstorm."
Hey guys, we’re all loving your videos. Doing the same consistent tests and roadways is great to show how each car performs. How about a decibel meter in every car on the same road to give a baseline since “road noise” can be hard to determine subjectively. You could even do coasting or under full acceleration if you felt that was worth it with some noisy motors or fake pumped engine noise.
If you’re curious about this Polestar 2 , I normally get 45-50 dB in the driver’s seat while maintaining speed on faster roads and highways
Nice shirt Jakub!
Thanks 😂❤️
I test drove this one in the summer. It drove well, but didn't offer enough space in terms of cargo, storage, and passenger space. I got an EV6 instead and I am pretty happy with most of it.
You must be from an alternate reality then. I have a Polestar 2 and my neighbor have the EV6 so we are able to compare them side by side. The EV6 only win in passenger space. The Polestar 2 win every other metrics wether its cargo space, fit & finish, driving dynamics & performance. And you can actually sit in the back of the Polestar 2 without actually having your knees above your shoulders. We will not even talk about the infotainment system as the UI of the EV6 look like a bloated samsung phone and is the same of a 2018 Soul. I also test drove his and boy is it so sedated.
@@Sebaste22 actually, most people would surely find the cockpit-control area in the EV6 to be vastly superior to that of the P2 (and by this, I mean the computer screens and buttons outside of infotainment screen). I'll bet that if you took a poll of all drivers, the vast majority would oppose a Tesla-like "iPad-glued-to-dashboard" vertical infotainment screen and favor a horizontal nicely-integrated-into-dashboard infotainment screen.
@@Sebaste22 Every has different tastes. I don't knock on anyone who prefers the P2. I couldn't see my growing kids being comfortable sitting behind me at 6'2". I would prefer the P2's infotainment system over EV6's. I can fit two sets of kid's golf clubs and two sets of adult golf clubs in my EV6 plus four shoe bags and then some. I couldn't see that possible in the P2 with the rear seats up.
It looks so strange, that Yuri is now the taler one XD
Happy New Year
What’s the go with front passenger seat??
