Had a fascination with EVs for some years, but hadn’t driven one until I got my first one in September 2021, off the back of my car at the time having heightened value due to COVID and the chip shortage.
Not being able to afford anything particularly flashy at the time, I got myself a Peugeot SUV, which is still quite nippy, doing 0-60 in about 7 secs, but had a meager range of 180 miles which has reduced somewhat during my ownership.
Then I caught wind of this thing…
Polestar 4
Holy moly. It’s a whole other level. It’s fast, it’s luxurious, and I am absolutely in love with it. It’s a little nondescript from the outside, looking a little bit like a Porsche sibling/cousin, but it’s still IMO nicer looking than the rather uninspired aesthetics of the Tesla range, which despite growing in number haven’t really varied all that much from *generic car shape*.
The interior is super comfy, and the lack of a rear window means the rear seats are further back, leaving plenty of room for passengers and not impeding the front seats either! Plenty of room in the front too, with two-tier storage between the seats, and a very comfortable driving seat.
Putting your foot down in that thing is risky business, because it leaps forward in an instant. 0-60 is 3 seconds, and with the dual motor in performance mode, you feel it.
I don’t own one yet, but my mind is made up that it’s my next car. The moment I finally buy a house, I’m grabbing one, but not in the blue – in the nice gold!
Test driving them is dangerous… on the wallet!
They all look the same, what is it?
Electron is looking very good! When the lease on our 2 is up, if we don’t buy a used 2 and instead decide to lease again I’d love to go for a Gold 4. Sat in one at our space’s launch event and was very smitten. Big step up from the 2 in both size and tech and acceleration for not that much more money. Congrats!
Goddam this thing looks gorgeous. I wish it fit in my garage.
Big wheels! Â $3k – $3.5k every 40,000km.
Wait what is this?
This is one of the few vehicles that has the potential to pull me away from my Model Y. Unfortunately I haven’t had the pleasure of test driving one yet
congratulations! there’s no looking back now (because there’s no rear window!)
Why is it so slow?
I hope you’ll not smash the screen because of how laggy the infotainment is 🙂
