This Is Our New Polestar 2! Join Us For The Delivery Experience 

I've noticed this channel quite bad with posting their videos on a certain timeline. Don't be surprised if they post a video a week or so from now that was filmed before this introducing themselves.

This channel is really good but the most confusing one ever

Same here! I'm a rather new subscriber, but this looked like a vlog to me. Who are they? How many makes videos on this channel?

Does this couple have their own channel? I hope so. I love them! Super fun.

Despite me being a Tesla owner, I absolutely LOVE how other EV manufacturers are competing and offering great service to customers. I'm a little biased but, in general, I LOVE the EV push from Polestar and other manufacturers! This was a great review and offers selections to customers :)

@@phazondude117 my only problem with Polestar is they clearly didn't care about efficiency. I think the Lightning is as efficient as the Polestar 2

@@JuiceBoxScott they’re dealing with that issue with the 2023 model I believe

"racecar" ;D

Actually, as of June, Polestar is pulling away from Volvo and going for an ipo. Volvo has a major stake, but not a controlling interest. Polestar was a Swedish brand, but this has become seriously blurred as of this summer.

@@ianjay5301 They have the IPO with Gore-Guggehnheim and are on the stock market. But Polestar still shares a lot with Volvo and Polestars will be made in Volvo factories.

It is built in Luquiao China.

@@jeffreyspencer4005 And? A lot of Western products are made in China. Is a Ford Mach E made in Mexico a Mexican car? No. It's American because it was designed and engineered there. The Polestar 2 was designed and engineered in Sweden, not China.

. Am dying to know who they are too. Some information is not a bad idea. Awesome content as usual. Just as an aside; I can't fathom the low subscription rate for both channels though

They are nice cars, but at 2100kg (4630lb) and FWD "true driver's car" is a bit of a stretch.

@@ad_fletch ,if you owned one,you would understand.And it’s 408hp AWD are more than enough for 4k+ lbs.

@@dannyusanovic2937 Test drove one, but the gear selector binnacle pressed into my knee while driving so had to rule it out. It did feel heavy too. Liked the general vibe though.

@@ad_fletch I get the issue with center console,some people are not fan of it. If you ever get another chance to drive one,select “one pedal driving “ to off,it transforms the car into a bullet. What you felt as heavy is one pedal drive holding the car back. Best way to feel the difference is by switching one pedal off mid drive,it literally feels like anchor being lifted off.

Exactly! Gal seems like a mirror fanatic-selfie kook. Could not finish video. My hang-up I guess.

She bombed really bad on a video awhile back.

LOL 🤣 it is mad confusing lol but I really like this video.

Not sure but I think Polestar uses the Volvo service stations?

@@razvanlex I don’t think that’s the case. If you read on their website it says they’ll pickup your car and bring it to the service center for you if you live within 150 miles. What it doesn’t say is what happens if you don’t live within 150 miles.

I own a Polestar 2 (full option) and can guarantee you that they use the Volvo service!! It’s amazing!

@@RudraNaruto that’s great news, thanks for confirming! When I looked on the Polestar website under service it didn’t seem to look like that was an option.

At 30.000 kilometers, you have to go for a service. And mine was last week. At a Volvo service station ;) And there they told me lots of things about the service etc. Polestar is still “Volvo” so no worries about that.

Not only that they're totally giving incorrect information. He mentions 4 motors and she mentions the 0-60 in 4.2 seconds when it's actually 4.5.

What’s the typical wait time for delivery?

Polestar 2 isn't built on a dedicated EV platform. Polestar 3 and newer are. Range will be much improved. But range is not necessarily going to be class leading.

Range is a big issue thats I wouldn't get this car, heat pump is not included unless you get the expensive pack, which is shame

Polestar is sort of a division of Volvo, yes. It is an offshoot of Volvo and is its own company. However, they do share a lot with Volvo and they are both headquartered in Gothenburg Sweden, and quite close to each other. A lot of Polestar's personnel used to work at Volvo or work at both Volvo and Polestar. Geely does not own Land Rover. Tata owns them. Geely does own Lotus however and they're doing quite well now. And it is Geely Holding that owns them, not Geely Auto which is a local Chinese brand and one of the brands in Geely Holding.

@@benjaminsmith2287 , I had forgotten it was Tata that owned Land Rover. It’s hard to keep track of who owns what. Tata is huge too.

It took much longer than expected, but they finally delivered. Plus, those who waited that long got an extension on the free in-car data to partially compensate. While I really wanted CarPlay from the star, the stock AAOS was actually not tough to live with as an iPhone user.

CarPlay is out now on Polestar 2

CarPlay is available now and it fills the whole screen, unlike other portrait-style screens. I got the update on bot my 2's last month

I have a Polestar 2 with Apple Carplay, but I don't use Carplay because the Android Automotive system does so well.

need a youtube channel to jump the queue.

Also waiting my Polestar, but BST version.

What are your pros & cons list?

Nr1 must be that you cant see shitt true the front Windows with that gigantig Back mirror lol

I wonder the same… why all of sudden they are in left-drive car??????

Exactly my thoughts. I mean, this channel only has 105k subs.

I’m short, and I felt like I was sitting in a bucket. That center console is huge!

ask after Seattle trip

@@PygKLB Same, im 186cm and Polestar so far is the worst car i ever sit in.

That’s what I noticed in my rental.

I have a panoramic roof on my Skoda and it spends 95% of its time closed. It is nice to have it open on a pleasant evening when the sun is low, but in hindsight, I would have saved the money or chosen a better stereo instead. In the Polestar you can't even open the glass roof, so I wouldn't worry about missing out.

I mulled that same question before ordering a Polestar. But in the end I thought about how little I look to or think of the roof when driving. In the end, the Pilot Pack seemed like better money spent. I can’t say I’ve ever wished differently since getting the car. On the other hand, I love the 360 cam, great headlights, and adaptive cruise control.

How much ransom are they asking for Kyle and Alyssa? If we all chip in it might not be too much.

It's Kyle and Alyssa's evil twins.

It's Swedish. There are no Chinese brands that sell in the USA yet.

@@benjaminsmith2287 Geely owns Volvo. They are Chinese.

@@MrIbernie Volvo isn't Chinese. The parent company is. Volvo is a company engineering, designing and managing the operations of their cars in Gothenburg, Sweden. If you don't know the difference between an operating company and it's parents, that's your own ignorance. And I don't need to hear anymore garbage from you on this matter.

@@benjaminsmith2287 why do you bash the Chinese. They make good eV.

@@MrIbernie Yes, they do. But Volvo isn't a Chinese product designed and engineered by a Chinese company. Volvo is an old, European marque. They were.bought by Ford because they're too small to be independent. Ford sold them to Geely Holding. That doesn't mean that they sold a name. They sold an intact company. Volvo is an operation, the same European car company, designing and making and producing their own cars. They are now just funded by Geely Holding. And Geely Holding doesn't micromanage their brands. Lotus is owned by Geely and neither Volvo or Polestar or Lotus are dictated to by Geely on having to use Geely platforms or anything like that. Volvo has made their own platforms, chosen their own battery partners, and on and on and Geely provides money or, in some cases, Volvo and Geely may work together on some things. Some of Volvo's technology may make it into some other Geely brands. But there are no Volvos that are Geely cars with Volvo badges on them. China makes excellent cars like NIOs, Great Wall, XPeng, those are Chinese cars. Volvo isn't a Chinese car brand. The Chinese car group is their parent. That's all. There are no Chinese cars sold in the USA. There are some Chinese owned companies selling cars in the USA but they're established European brands. There are some made in China cars in the USA. But no Chinese brands originating and engineered and designed in China are sold in the USA. And I'm frankly tired of hearing people that don't know the details of the Volvo deal saying Volvo is Chinese. It's not the case. Volvo continues to be a Swedish brand but now has the financial backing of a Chinese company.

Comfort suspension but not really sporty. Hyundai and EV6 and also the Toyota bZ4 have very comfortable suspensions. Polestar is more taut and the Mach E is sporty. Tesla is sporty and I find the Y is harsh on bad roads.

@@benjaminsmith2287 the Polestar is Taunt? What does that mean?
