While on a business trip in California, I needed to rent a car. With so many Electric Cars to choose from at LAX airport, I decided to rent a Polestar 2; a car that I have been wanting to drive for a while, but never have. Although I really did like the car and would recommend it to many to consider as a potential buy, watch this video as to why this car just does not fit my needs and will not be buying one.

I love my Polestar 2 but I know it’s not for everyone. Families and/or road trippers definitely won’t love it but it’s an amazing driver’s car, which is what’s important to me (and why I love the cockpit feel). I’ve never had an issue wiTh my knees but I’m 5’11

I've discovered after owning mine for a year and letting others sit in it that If your torso is longer than your legs, the polestar fits perfectly. However, if you have very long legs and shorter torso, the polestar simply won't work for you.

I rented a P2 from Hertz at Heathrow in January 2023 when I needed to go up to Scotland. I had booked it in December '22. When I went to collect it, it had only 6 miles on the clock and had been registered just 3 days earlier. So purely delivery milage and I was the first to drive it. The rental and charging worked out cheaper than filling my own Volvo V70 with petrol however many times as would have been necessary.

The car looks big in photos but in real life is tiny inside with terrible bulky console and very bad cup holder design. It has nice exterior styling except for cheap looking unpainted black plastic panels and sits too high. The 2024 facelift is a huge improvement and Im waiting for orders to open up for the performance model. The interior quality and design is levels below Volvo but despite all of these compromises is still a nice EV.

I’ve the ‘23 LRDM, it’s not for everyone; I consider it a personal car, not a family hauler. I like how it drives (Chassis, suspension, shocks calibration) and plenty of power. Fit and finish is excellent and feels premium in a Swedish way, and it has been very reliable and efficient. My biggest issue is the center console; it’s bulky, intrusive, and wasteful space use. I’m a car enthusiast and that influenced my decision to buy.

@AdamJakowenko Год назад

The cupholder situation in any car is very important to me, and was actually one of the main reasons I didn't buy the Polestar 2. Glad you pointed it out. Terrible design, would make daily driving annoying. When I cancelled my Polestar 2 order they asked me why and I told them the 2 main factors were their service model and cupholder design. I also do not understand why they still have not implemented wireless CarPlay or a 360 camera view when they have the space on the screen and the cameras to do so. It was more ticks in the "con" column for me on that vehicle compared to competitors.

@BrandonRyan 4 месяца назад

It DOES have a 360 camera view. IMO The cupholder situation did not turn out to be NEARLY as bad as RU-vidrs make it out to be.

@AdamJakowenko 4 месяца назад

@@BrandonRyan Different things are important to different people. Happy it works for you. We rented one for a road trip to test out the car and it was exactly as bad as we thought for us...losing my armrest to get a second cupholder was very annoying and the 360 camera didn't come up automatically split screen with the backup camera, which is a feature I use all the time, and even my Bolt had it. Those were, and still are, deal breakers for us. I just sat in a Polestar 3 and they fixed the cupholder issue so clearly they were getting feedback from customers, but wasn't able to test the 360 cam functionality so TBD on if it'll make the short list for our next car.

Hi Dave welcome to the neighborhood. There are a lot of EVs here but sadly the CCS charging infrastructure is not great at all and not getting better at any decent pace. You're probably driving right by my house if you haven't already. I found the polestar 2 much too cramped for me and I'm not quite as tall as you are at only 6'2". I took it out for a test drive I don't know probably a year ago.

@rahamohan5213 Год назад

I have a P2 Performance AWD, it's not for anyone above 6 foot tall. I'm 5'11 and I fit comfortable. Did few long drives, great personal car. It drives better than a M3 but hard to justify the value against a M3 with the available rebates. When I bought it still had 7500 federal and 750 state rebates to offset the cost a bit as well as 2 year free EA charging.

@videosbystofferson3945 Год назад

Very good video. That was an all wheel drive model (based on the 300kW on the door sticker). It had the Pilot package, giving you the ADAS functions, but not the Plus package. The Plus package gives you the full power driver and passenger seats. With the options it has it should have been priced around $55k, which is a bit much considering the interior space versus its competition. I felt it a bit cramped on my test drive and I'm a little shorter than you.

@anthonyc8499 Год назад

I really wanted to like the Polestar 2 more than I did. I had the same complaints as Dave. My knee felt uncomfortably trapped against the center console and the backseat floor has a giant hump that reduces foot space. Headroom and shoulder space up front was tight. I liked the rear cargo room and the mini frunk. It drives nice with lots of power. I just couldn't live with it everyday.

@SlavGuns Год назад

yep... rented Polestar 2 for the week... same complaints and I am just 5'8". Also not a lot of cargo space. The model 3 is just a much better engineered and thought out vehicle. Fit 3 car seats across no problem. Oh and of course, it is USA made.

Great review. I'm 5ft 8in and it fits me fine so it is all about driver size and proportions. Polestars are much better screwed together than Teslas although the Chinese and Berlin built cars we get in Europe are much improved. You were actually driving the 300kW AWD car - look for the stickers on the lower front doors when you check out a Polestar - which is certainly the best handling version, although this may change when they when they move the single motor version from FWD to RWD later this year to give a more rearward handling bias.

@MrHereWeGoYo Год назад

My first experience with Tesla was the Model Y I rented from Hertz (also LAX) last year. Took it to Vegas for 5 days and LOVED it. I really want to try a Polestar 2 for this year's trip, but I only want the Performance Pack. The website reservations page shows a Polestar 2 w/Performance Pack but I wonder what are the odds of actually getting one. I didn't realize they had Polestar 1. very interesting.

@vpr5555 Год назад

Although all my impressions of the Polestar 2 have been via RU-vid videos, I've always liked the exterior styling of the vehicle but thought the choices made for the interior, especially that center console, were off-putting. I *really* love the looks of the Polestar 3, once again via RU-vid videos, but it's a considerable jump up in money starting at $83,900. The CCS charging network in my Texas area is really poor, so I'm not sure I'd spend that kind of money to just have the frustrations. Alternatively I'm not a huge fan of Tesla styling (or Musk himself, but I've accepted that Tesla is more than just one man), and lack of features (HUD, Massaging Seats, etc), but the charging network is in a much stronger position in my area. It's a decision I've been contending with in my mind for awhile now.

@telerye Год назад

@TheDrivenDave Год назад

I did a video on this car at the LA auto show. Without driving it I could only comment on the interior, but I thought it was cramped (for a big guy) and not that high quality for the money. I don’t know how someone would buy this over a model 3 or Ioniq 5/EV6 from a value proposition. Great video!

@normt430 Год назад

When the fed tax credit was still available it was a good deal with Tesla raising prices. Today the used P*2 is $10,000 than a Model Y Perf and just a better all around vehicle.

@GMD64 Год назад

Hi Dave, great video, in the future please do us a favor, unlike most of us you have and assumedly will continue to test drive many of the new EVs, if you agree it's a good idea please add some comparative assessments, for example, it seems like your model 3 video with you and your wife you were both more comfortable in the model 3 which is valuable insight because from the outside the Polestar appears to be a larger vehicle than the model 3 so someone like me who has never been in either vehicle would have never known how cramped the Polestar felt comparatively. Another example is you had the model S as well, I never got the impression your head hit the roof or your legs were cramped and that is something you would actually expect in the model S.

@davidgiles9751 Год назад

I tested one two different times now. Overall it's a really nice EV, but with some serious interior design problems. The center console needs a complete redesign, as you hitting your knee shows. It's a complete mess and waste of space, as the cupholder in the armrest shows. Horrible visibility out of the rear window and poor rear leg space, with the battery tunnel intruding through the entire cabin. Having said that, the performance of the AWD and the very well integrated infotainment system is a big hit. I'm only 5'5" and it's not the car for me. I ended up with a Kia EV6 GT-Line AWD instead.

I have a Polestar 2. It's good to hear your perspective. I'm not surprised your left leg wasn't comfortable. It was more difficult for me to find the right seating position in my Polestar than in any car I've ever owned and changing any of the setting just a little throws the whole thing off. I'm 5'10" and was able to dial it in for myself, but I could see a bigger guy having real trouble. I mostly love the car. I think my favorite thing about it is that it is very much a car first and and a high-tech computer on wheels second. I have a Tesla too, and I would say Tesla is just the opposite.

I've rented from Turo several times. Mostly good experiences with one very bad experience. The best advice I can give is to read each leasor and car's fine print and check how much mileage is included in the rental price. Some shifty leasors appear to have great deals and deliberately include inadequate mileage and charge outrage surcharges for milage overages. Unless the app has changed since I last used it, this can be difficult to understand in the rental summary. I rented for five days, and what I thought was my allotted miles per day (as every other number on that screen was per day) was for the full five day period. Needless to say I went way over and it would've been much cheaper to rent from Enterprise. Every other time I used Turo it was great, though.

I've been in UX and design for 25 years. Whoever designed the cupholder, armrest really has no idea what they are doing. This does not bode well for the rest of the interior which is designed very poorly overall. Even the cheapest cars in the market have better cupholders and UX. Two decades ago, Europeans shunned cup holders but today customers bring beverages into the car for convenience. This is quite appalling to see in 2023.

@beltrams Год назад

Center consoles have gotten too big. My RAV4 Prime likewise has too big of a console. Most of the controls that have migrated to consoles over the years could easily migrate back to the dash or steering column as on Teslas. The makers also have moved HVAC components, etc. into the interiors of consoles (the front end at least) which requires consoles to grow. If I have to give up the middle front seat that sedans used to have for a console, I at least want the console space to be all mine, for storage, drinks, etc. rather than transmisson controls, other extraneous knobs, and who-knows-what underneath the console. Most of the space inside Tesla 3/Y consoles is accessible space for storage, even if they're somewhat plain looking.

The Polestar 2 looks absolutely amazing from the outside -- front, back, sides. But once you open the door, it looks so very cheap and crappy -- Tesla-like or Mach-E-like, and not in a good way. Why couldn't Polestar put vertical infotainment screens nicely embedded into the dashboard like so many other BEV makers, and why couldn't they retain more physical buttons/dials for climate and audio controls? Then you get to the slow-charging architecture and poor range. Such a great start, but such a bad finish to this car. If Polestar and Volvo realy want to succeed in making BEVs, they'd better stop trying to emulate Tesla and looking instead at EV6, Taycan, etc., for their interiors...

😂 early adapters pay for the privilege of being the Ginie Pig 🐷 ... Toss in clunky charging Apps & stations, incredibly exspencive repairs and the cost of battery replacement will bankrupt you.

Yeah I’m not impressed. I’d rather buy a Volvo. I thought Polestar was their ultra luxury brand. 🤷‍♂️

Overuse of piano black plastic and dumb storage placement.

Tall people reviewing cars they can’t fit in. Always the same.

I work for Hertz at a major airport car rental center, and our main EV service guy is a midget 😂

I hate this car. Too uncomfortable. My right knee is raw from rubbing on the middle console. Very poor interior design. Terrible charging options for my cellphone. Cup holder placement is ridiculous. Seats are uncomfortable, especially if you’re driving hours at a time. Stick with a Model 3, don’t waste your time on this POS.
