Loveeee the style.
Polestar will need more visibility as a brand. I imagine cars aren't the first thing most people think of when they hear the name "Polestar."
That screen ain’t cutting it anymore
That piano black looks gross! Mind it, I have that garbage in my KIA as well and wish I wouldn't.
I think you're paying an extra 5 grand to have a car that won't fall apart. Either out of patriotism or fear of Tesla stans, Doug doesn't seem to mention Tesla's awful quality record.
Just can’t get into these things. A v90 or v60 polestar with the five cylinder is my style
He was really happy to see that hexagon tho
Tesla is better
10 years from now Doug will say car's and bids is still New
Goofy looking design
The deafening octopus consequently step because dock outstandingly observe till a annoyed family. certain, equal hub
"mostly sedan, some SUV" ..... so a crossover?
lol
haha. nice.
Polestar sounds like a documentary about strippers in the inner city.
Doug: This is a direct rival to the Tesla Model 3. Doug, immediately after: it starts around $60,000.
The bezels on that screen are giant.
So ugly
The polestar at the motorshow was sexy. This is ugly AF
I would call this car a Crossover, not a sedan.
8:16 nice
8:16 .... Nice....
Hasn't polestar been around for a while on like the special edition volvos that are super fast?
Never seen such a beautiful shaped car for many years. It shows strength, but also elegance. Really like it.
So happy a car has been produced that lets me put my key in my shoe without feeling like a freak.
No it does not
No start or stop I think I would like to have control of that
Everyone is a gangsta till you compare specs to model 3
Yay an electric car without overly futuristic electrified infotainment
Division in trunk is not new idea. I had this in my 2010 Volvo XC90.
Surely I'm not the only one who thinks it's ugly, right? Also, at $20k more for a base Taycan.... Who would buy this? It's still a $60k ugly car whereas the Taycan is an incredible piece of engineering.
ⁿᵒ ᵇᵒᵈʸ.... ᵗʰᵉ ᶜᵃʳ'ˢ ᵇᵃᵗᵗᵉʳʸ: 69%
It's gorgeous. It gets a seven. How stupid is this?? 7 is more like a strong 'okay' than gorgeous.
this comparison with tesla... It's a premium car, this polestar, isn't it?
Maybe read a bit about polestars new project? Polestar 0 with zero pollution that is going to be completed 2030 possibly
The polestar has way more class, the tesla looks boringly ugly
If I had the money I would pay the 5k extra just to avoid being a Tesla Fanboy!
@Island Vanlife lol why? I’m not saying they are good or bad I’m just curious
God these newer Volvos are slick. I want one.
waiting for the Polestar Pulsar
The Volvo is 5000usd of a better interior, it's fit and finish is better, and you know the safety is still priority.
Thank god polestar didn't put out a crossover first
JJ Abrams approves the flares.
The whole entertainment IS Google.
VISUALLY, THE A PILLAR AND THE HOOD, WHILE FITTED, GIVES THE APPEARANCE OF THE REAR OF HOOD BEING OPEN. THE CHARACTER LINES ACCENTUATE THIS LOOK. LOOKS CRUDY FOR SUCH NICE VEHICLE, THE CARACTER LINE ON DOOR DOES NO VISUALLY MATCH IT ONTO THE HOOD AREA, FRUNK
Doug, your enthusiasm is unmatched.
At least, with this one, you can go off road.
I'm guessing that Doug is an iPhone user. Because that "Assistant thing" is clearly Google Assistant and that infotainment system, if not straight up Android, is clearly based on Android. :)
Made in China.
Suv-ish😁
where is the spare tire?
you didn’t let us hear the exhaust note.
Looks better than tesla. Panel gaps are better than tesla. Quality is better than tesla. You know that it will be safer than tesla. It's more car than tesla.
This is a good competitor to the Tesla. But I’m not a fan of short range. 350-400 is good. 600 is insane. All about range on electrics. And I hope it’ll get better.
EVERY one buying electric car for saving the world and bill gates want to save the world by giving vaccines and our government want to save the world by promoting lgbt only legends will understand

In many ways, I think the 2018 S60 Polestar is a way better car. Most people just think it's just a regular S60 and it only makes them inquisitive when you put your foot down. Also, I consistently get around 375 miles (605km) of range on 17.2gal (65L) of gas (might be better if you have one without a carbon splitter in the front and the extended ducktail spoiler), and I once clocked it at 0-62 in 4.5s on Michelin Pilot Sport 4S. The rear seats also fold down and I'm 6'2" and I have plenty of legroom in the back. Lastly, nothing beats the whine of a supercharger coupled with the gusts of a turbo. See? It's a way better car. Who knows what the designers at Volvo were even thinking.
Clearly doug is an iphone guy. Didn't even notice the Google play store connection.
Polestar makes me think stripper
Is ridiculous compare a 233 mile range with a Tesla
Seatbelts are terrible
Why do they call it sedan? It looks nothing like a sedan
69% battery charge lol
For 60k, I need my center console to look better then an after tho.
why no wagon version
I really wish every brand use their logo instead of sticking up letters. Do you sea any “Apple” outside an Apple device? That brings curiosity and make the design speaks for it self. Love it.
I have a p30pro and I even dont know what huawei logo looks like :D
@living meme exe nope not my IPhone 12 just an apple logo
@EnNombreDeLaCiencia ! do you know english "do you can't read" doesn't make sense 🤣😂
@Zack Smith that’s not the point of my comment. Do you can’t read? Or at least analyze and interpret what I wrote?
Tbf every apple device says “designed by apple”
Awesome car
Another tablet on wheels to avoid spending money on actual buttons 🙄
Volvo went into the trouble of creating a new brand only to make it look like every other Volvo...
Doug the type of guy to call his first child a «entry-level»
Polestars look awesome on the road. Tesla is getting boring.
It’s to bad they only make these in China. I’d really rather not support the Chinese government.
i’m just glad they didn’t make it a SUV like every other company keeps doing
Glovebox with a handle to open it. Tesla, take note. Don't the gold seatbelts indicate this is the sportier model with the firmer adjustable suspension and the larger wheels. The model below this one is £5K cheaper and supposed to be softer on the road and nicer to drive as a result. I'd go for the regular model.
I love the minimalism of their branding, their logo, that it's body coloured to match the colour of car you get and that there are no words written on the car. My kind of branding. While it would in theory make make the brand name spread more slowly it makes me want to buy the car more.
Oh, thank god there is some piano black in there. Everyone loves piano black.
English-speakers!! Is it strange to say "All is good"? As a Swedish myself it doesn't sound that weird because we say the equivalent of that in Swedish: "Allt är bra"
I like it.
Looks ugly, sw sucks, sticking with the Tesla
For me the best-looking EV saloon on the market also the most interesting.
8:15 That 69% was definitely intentonal :D
I would most definitely adjust those side view mirrors for aerodynamic reasons and sideswipe everyone in my blind spot.
The acceleration difference wouldn't bother me at all since it looks like the Volvo still flies and I could live with the $5k price difference if the Polestar has better tech, looks better and has a better build quality. The range difference is the one thing that would keep me from buying it. Hopefully that improves on Polestar's end.
Cars which cost more than $20,000 that don't have 4 front seat cup holders and ventilated seats shouldn't exist. These are very basic features that should be standard in all new vehicles. Oh, and wheels larger than 16" shouldn't exist. Worrying about busting a tire shouldn't be a thing.
Don't forget the Tesla Supercharger infrastructure you have access to with the Model 3. Huge differentiator compared to regular EV's.
Doug's talking nonsense about knobs and handles, as usually. Nothing technical, nothing in detail.
2022 Scion TC
Polestars attempt to be subtle will lead to everyone that can afford it calling it a Tesla.
Gorgeous? I know this is subjective, but it's boring on the outside, and on the inside. Volvo can do and does better. It's like they want this to fail.
Still better looking and more exciting than the model 3 Tesla.
Isn't it called a "liftback"?
Nah, this is a loser mentality. The only way to beat tesla is to be ahead of the curve. ex. Affordable EV sports car like a C8. ex2. EV offroader/truck. Tesla already perfected the EV SUV/sedan sector.
hey Doug, why don't you just get a Tesla and get over it?
Overpriced, next...
Base tesla is 80k in Europe. You forget you implemented import tax so now you have to pay premium.
on the topic of not having the brand name. I saw one in the UK last week and thought, "that's cool, no idea what that badge is though"
Yeah the model 3 is cheaper and better but its also not as cool looking. Model 3 looks very feminine and slow
that's just a normal car that is electric.... it proves again that Tesla is just A REVOLUTION
Wouldn't comparing it to the Model S be more appropriate? They are both Sedans and are much closer is price. Also similar in trunk size and gauge cluster, heck Model S before 2021 even used the vertical infotainment.
Doug, I respect you. But honestly, you should stop praising Tesla so much. What they did tech wise is amazing, I agree. They really changed the electric car market, and that is something to admire. However, their quality control is lacking to the point where it’s dangerous. VW has passed Tesla in multiple continents as the number 1 selling electric car brand. In multiple countries there’s class-actions against Tesla for lacking quality control (turning into dangerous neglect). They have recently had to admit that their self-driving tech is not nearly as good as they claimed, and the stock price is going down, while VW’s is going up. And this is predicted to continue unless Tesla really changes their business practices in the next few years (not my opinions - analysis from journalists and economists). I think polestar has enough arguments there to sell their cars, even with less range and performance and a higher price. Like I said, I think Tesla did great things, but they have to continue with more “boring” car-manufacture stuff to keep succeeding. They definitely deserve praise, but not to the extent you gave it to them.
This looks like Dodge Caliber with a Zune infotainment system.
The whole not putting their name on the car thing is kinda genius to me, the first time I saw one I was scratching my head for a good minute and that made me go and learn more about the brand
