Polestar 3 Previewed

[Dark-Fx]

I'm very interested in the Blazer, too, especially since I may be able to get employee pricing (word still out if it qualifies on the Blazer), but passed on the Ocean. I just wasn't ready to pull the trigger when they wanted, and they seemed almost too hungry for the deposits.

I think Fisker needed to show Magna they had customers ready to purchase and that's why they did the $5,000 deposit on the One. The Ultra and Sport trims have a much more reasonable deposit and should still start production before the Polestar 3. I was super late in line for the Ocean but if they can stick to their timeline, I should have it by May-ish next year.

I'll probably get the Blazer as a comparison vehicle, but anticipate not wanting to keep it for a long time because it won't be as nice as the other options. I found the WTF mode for the Hummer pretty dumb and gimmicky and I imagine having to do the same thing with the Blazer to get the full performance is going to piss me off. Why can't I just stab the throttle and go?

Jupiter looks great on the 2. There's too much going on for it to work on the 3.

Thanks for the reference point. I haven't seen many of these on the road, probably need to make a trip to the Polestar center by me and see a few.

I think it's just that the front end being so much body color makes it weird. There's not enough contrast IMO, and the amount of grey plastic on the side of the doors doesn't fit the slimness of the vehicle. I find that random chrome trim piece in the middle of the plastic very out of place.

Aquarius is my new most hated song.

It's 4 minutes and 48 seconds long. That's how long it takes the 3 to get to 60 mph.

I was ready to put a deposit down for my wife but the specs are definitely just MEH for that price. I think my wife would rather have an R1S instead of the Polestar 3, but an R2 would definitely be more the size we would want for my wife.

Not impressed, high price, sub par performance and the range.

I'm sure it drives really nice. An SUV version of the suspension in my 2 would be great.

Why so mean? You've already got Rivian almost a full year ahead of us, don't need to rub it in... J/K.
