The article says the specs are similar to Model 3's, but i did not see any numbers about vehicle dimensions -- height, length, width, interior dimensions, etc. Did I miss those somewhere? To my eye, the interior looked nicer than the Model 3's, and if it turns out to be more spacious and/or more more comfortable, that could be a big draw for the car over the Model 3.
I don't have the numbers at hand, but the Polestar 2 is both shorter and narrower than the Model 3. I think it was about 1-3 inches for both dimensions. Kinda interesting considering the Tesla is already a small car (at least by US standards), but I guess when your powertrain isn't as cutting edge you gotta make cuts somewhere!
Does it bother you then that Tesla knows your whereabouts at all times when you're driving the vehicle? No hiding from that.
No, because unlike Google, Tesla is not making any money from advertising. Google's customers are not consumers like you and I. If anything Google should be paying the consumer to allow their OS integration. I feel the same about their phone OS.
