Compact Yet Elegant

This efficient machine is a delight to own and drive. It picks up and goes when you need it to do so. The car tablet offers a variety of apps so you are able to conveniently design your home and other screens. Charging is easy whether at home with a Level 2 or on the road and searching for Level 3 chargers. It is easy to attach charging cables and even easier to disconnect them with the button right next to the cable. The car has little room in the back seat; hence, I keep the back seat folded down, but the sleek design gets frequent comments from admirers.

Not suitable for Arizona

The AC in this car really sucks, so if you live in a hot climate, you will be disappointed. I have tried to have it serviced but was told there was a 3 week wait for parts and a 3 week wait for a loaner car. So I commute in 110 degree heat. I called Polestar customer support and got NO assistance whatsoever. So at least in Arizona, I would NOT buy this car. And I must say that their customer support sucks as well.

The car rides and handles well enough. Sadly, the cabin is seriously cramped for a tall driver. The center console is stupidly wide, the steering wheel doesn't have enough adjustment range, the seat back is a pain to get adjusted, the lumbar support isn't very comfortable... the entire time I have the cruise control on, I have to hover my foot above the pedal, which kind of defeats the purpose, because there literally is not enough room between the steering wheel and the center console to fit my leg. For the amount of money that this thing costs, I would expect so much more. Fortunately, it was only a rental for me. I put about 10 hours of driving in over the course of a day, and I couldn't wait to give it back. Maybe it just doesn't work for me because of my size, so if you're tiny, perhaps the story is different.

Lackluster and unnecessarily complicated

The car drives nice. The app does not work compared to Tesla. The car seat is incomfortable. The electronics in this Electric car clunky at best, and though everything is laid out simple it is unnecessarily complicated. The car the electronics and set up are not intuitive. You can use your phone as a key. But there is no way you can rely on your phone exclusively as a key. Half the time it doesn’t work and you are left not being able to trust or rely on its features . The app is clunky and ineffective and very disappointing. It has Apple CarPlay so that’s a good thing.

I have really thinking about getting one of these so I rented one on a business trip. The first car in the Hertz lot had an issue where the emergency break wouldn’t release. The gave me another one which seemed to work fine, although i could hear a weird clicking noise. Google Maps then wouldn’t work for 2 days until the system seem to reset itself. The key only opens the door half the time when I am standing right next to the car and trying to open the door. The apple car play requires a cord. The seat has a manual title option which is weird since there are seat memory buttons. The interiors seems to pick up dirt and stains really easily. There is an odd dark spot in the. Middle of the headlights like they aren’t aligned properly. THe back seat leg room is just ok and there is a hump on the back floor which is usually unnecessary for an electric car. The door sounds plastic when you close it and the door locking mechanism sounds cheep. How is this thing getting good reviews. I am really happy I didn’t order one as Tesla and Hyundai products are so much better! I have been wondering if Hertz now has a bunch of these because Polestar is dumping them on the market?
