Hi All,
My buddy was getting the mustang mach e and got p'd off at Ford's nonsense - now he's pretty serious about a Polestar 2.
I'm starting to look at it - I think it's ugly, both outside and in.
I don't want to compare directly to the S - I think it gives more than 2/3 of the S, at a little over 1/2 the S price (about $60k all in, no FSD but does have parking, etc.).
0-60 is 4.2 I think - and I saw posted earlier the LR sport mode is about that - so i think i wouldn't feel a difference.
i like the tesla better in many ways, but I'm wondering if anyone knows anything about these things? Polestar is Volvo, there's SOME history but not as evolved as Tesla, and i MIGHT have range anxiety (about 266 max miles) however, my daily drive is like 12 round trip so that may not be a major factor.
It has the bonus of the $7,500 credit.
I think the S is in a whole other category - but I'm also wondering will prices actually DROP in a few years (better battery tech, no more chip shortages, etc.)? yesterday i read the theory that prices will go up, so getting the S before the $10k increase (I'm in for that) is a "bargain" - though for now I have FSD which even Elon says "isn't great"
I think the Polestar 2 is supposed to go more against the 3, which I think is actually slightly cheaper than the Polestar 2.
anyone have any experience or thoughts about the polestar 2? they can purportedly deliver 3 weeks after ordering. I'm not sure if they have a polestar monkey or if that is a Tesla exclusive.
Thanks!
