Getting a lot of "well a Tesla is cheaper" comments. You're not the target-audience my friend, and that is totally okay. Why do some people get riled up about something that doesn't fit their needs or budget? Options are great. That's why some people buy a BMW 5-series and some people buy a Toyota Camry. The Camry does the job just as well and is efficient, but some people want something a little extra - and that's okay too.
"some"
Most but some cant afford it
Torque-vectoring is not irrelevant for EV:s. There are different types of ways you can obtain that feature. 1. Open diff and use the braking system to do it. 2. Use two independant motors in the rear or 3. Do it like Polestar and use a clutch system that can distribute torque how you want it. Which option you chose as a car manufacturer will greatly differ how well you can do it. Polestar's option is about as good as you can get without having a dual motor rear axle. Very different from applying brakes to try to get the same effect. Polestar is supposed to be a performance brand, so they do things the "right" way that enthusiasts like. It's like a true limited slip differential in a car. Sure, you could get similar results from braking one wheel, but enthusiasts love a true LSD instead of some wonky software solution.
Yeah. Real torque-vectoring is equally relevant for EVs as it is for any other car especially if you are sporty car or sporty brand in the first place. Naturally no point to have that in 'basic Corolla'.
Applying breaks to do tvectoring just feels so stupid while you are driving.
Yes, it was a strange statement. Seems like there are quite a few reviewers/commenters that do not appreciate sporty driving dynamics. Or have just succumbed and accepted that these heavy EVs has the driving dynamics of american muscle cars?
If you have driven a FWD hot hatch with good torque vectoring like VW GTI, you would know that TV is able to transform a moderately potent car with understeer characteristics to a turn hugging sports car.
I don’t understand why torque vectoring isn’t relevant for EVs only internal combustion propulsion systems ?😂
Yes, some manufacturers choose to have open diff with or without dual motors or clutch, example BMW with i4 M50 and Tesla model 3 performance. Both are fun-ish but having driven both, they’re not particularly special. I can only think off one pure fun car with open diff, McLaren 720 etc.
Ironically it’s has an internal combustion engine haha
If you think this is expensive. Viking you need to price match it to the Audi etron and the BMW IX. This polestar 3 is a bargain compared to those evs. And the polestar 3 is better in a lot of ways. Please make a video comparing Audi etron / bmw IX and polestar 3.
He did say that Polestar hasn't earned the reputation yet. It isn't BMW, or Audi, so has to be better priced.
Yes you should buy one if have the money!! Polestar is for the best. Already orderd mine and Already drived it in Gothenburg, Sweden. What a car! People wont belive it wen they drive one. Its a master peace of art!
drived?
@@stefan2796 He probably speaks gooder english than you speak Svensk.
Why is the company going bankrupt then? They got a bailout, they have now dropped the prices to try and sell the cars they have to raise funds, it is not looking very good from the company perspective.
lol
@@FloydThePinkI like it, 'peace of art'. Art should be peaceful, so thumbs up.
I can’t stand it when people in the media say ‘customers are confused’. We also hear ‘voters are confused’ all the time on the news. I am not confused. I can work out which of the 3 or 4 options packs I’d like for my car and I can do that without my brain hurting. I would assume that if you’re in the market for a $90K car you’re probably not confused about car specifications either.
Right? It's so strange. Like if I'm buying an expensive car, I sure as hell make sure I know what I am buying, and Polestar's packages are no where near close to being as confusing as for instance Porsche, this is childs-play in comparison.
Price has not changed. They are allowing you to get it without a bunch of packages.
If you get same options as before price is the same
The sound in the polestar is for sure the best on the planet. I drive a Tesla y and barely listen to music now after I test drived this Polestar 3. What a diffrent !!
17 or 18 in wheels would be better for range and much cheaper . love the car and company
Methane emissions from the fossil-fuel industry rose to record levels of 120M tons last year, “despite technology available to curb this pollution at virtually no cost”, according to Agence France-Presse. Reuters added that the high levels of methane emissions were produced despite commitments by companies and governments to plug leaking fossil-fuel infrastructure, according to the International Energy Agency’s (IEA) annual methane tracker report. Separately, a new study in Nature concluded that US oil-and-gas infrastructure emits THREE TIMES as much methane into the atmosphere as government estimates suggest, the Associated Press reported. According to New Scientist, the study was based on nearly one million aerial surveys of methane leaks, creating what one of the scientists described as “the largest such dataset that has ever been assembled”.
In the US lease is the way to go for any car with a CCS charge port. That way you can turn it in at the end of the lease and by then most (if not all) EVs will be NACS here. Plus you stand a better chance to get some benefit from tax credits.
All work on the car and the company is in Sweden. Manufactured in china do.
If you want to avoid Chinese good you should really first ask why?
25 speakers? How many do you have at home?
Sam: "Wait for ten months." - Sam assuming that the majority of people only buys cars just for fun.
No, people generally do time their purchases when it comes to real estate and cars.
Polestar is a Nice EV 🚗
I saw two of them parked next to each other yesterday for the first time.
'Polestar engineered chassis tuning', as the video depicts a bucking wallowing Polestar, (~07:47), that then shows its headlights flashing as it approaches still barely controllable. Can I get a job at Polestar as a suspension engineer?
Because someone would then need the $10,000 to buy car insurance!!!
Sam, an audio system can be programmed to reduce interior noise as a noise reduction method.
So now we act like 4.5s isnt fast damm haha.
...for most people it would be better if it would take 60 seconds.
It’s a Geely, which is also being rebadged as a Proton in Malaysia
I stay in a major city and haven't seen many early hybrid polestars or an ev polestar. Like, where's the resale value of these.
Everyone have heard and seen the Polestar. Not a chance anyone that is interested in cars haven’t heard about polestar.
My recommendation is everyone besides USA get a Polestar. USA get polestar when it’s ready for the tax reduction or what ever you have over there.
...you gotta stay off the coffee, son...
Love this car and great review...except for the dog part. Totally not necessary mate, to make your point.
Best car!!!!
I still prefer the Polestar 2 its a great car
I saw a white Polstar badged car driving right in front of me and had to look it up to figure out what it was using the internet it was so new - this was a month ago. A very nice looking vehicle up close. Sam’s advice here is spot on for the U.S. market in particular - that is, if they can avoid going bankrupt. Like so many EV manufacturers their stock price is in the toilet. Too bad they are Chinese, otherwise GM would be wise to buy them out and learn from them how to manufacture a good looking EV.
They just got $1bn funding from a consortium of banks, they're not going down. At least not for another couple years.
I thought it was a fair review. When this car came out 7 years ago it was truly groundbreaking, but unlike other manufacturers instead of releasing a completely new model every 7 years, Tesla have just done a face lift. I cannot see why anyone would be excited with that. Doug makes errors on pretty much every review, not just Tesla. But he has driven probably more cars than anyone else so can make an informed opinion thanks for the video
Not bad mate cheers
1:05 how are u confused. There’s only 5 packages u can choose (all explained btw) what’s confusing about that? If ur confused about that then u should go back to school or pick up a book cuz it’s concerning💀
Google says its £76,000 in the UK. Thats US$96,000. You can buy a house for that.
Where can you buy a house for $96,000 ?
You need 10 times that amount for a house in Australia
@@ExploringCabinsandMinesmany of the SE Asian countries
You might be able to buy a house for $96,000, but is it in safe livable condition? Have you priced the demolition cost into that price as well.
@@ExploringCabinsandMines In the UK. Not everywhere but they exist.
04:55 - exactly! Don't buy what is best for you but support corporations who give a fuXk about you...and who would fire you within the blink of an eye if you'd work for them and they wouldn't need you any more.
BUY WHAT IS BEST FOR YOU!
$73K….uh, NO!
In our country, indeed, there are regions where there is a tradition of consuming dog meat, but I have never heard of any claims or practices of locking dogs in cages to make their meat taste better. That's a lie. Additionally, I still respect the food traditions of various ethnic groups. At least Indians have never urged me not to eat beef. Moreover, pigs are much smarter than dogs. I've raised two pet pigs, and they were adorable and part of my family. I wouldn't tell you not to eat pork; it would disgust me to say such a thing.
So, the Viking has joined the protectionist ranks even if he is half-hearted about it - a tariff wall is regrettable but necessary in his reasoning because otherwise 'we're screwed'. Who is the 'we' in that statement? It is Legacy Auto and their mouthpieces.
There are several obvious problems with the 'we're screwed' hypothesis. First, the speed of the EV transition matters more than saving Legacy Auto.
Second, tariff walls can only achieve ends that benefit the public at large in very limited circumstances. Historically, emergent industries that were at an early stage in their evolution did benefit from the protections afforded by sizable tariffs. None of this was automatic, though. Other policies to encourage the growth of industries that were seen as critical were also necessary. Fostering economic development and prosperity lay at the heart of these policies and measures. So, does saving the necks of bloated and inefficient corporations that were once substantial engineering operations but nowadays are mere vehicles for the maximisation of shareholder returns count as fostering economic development and prosperity? Absolutely not. Sizable tariffs will only serve to cement in the bad practices of these inefficient businesses as the norm and remove any inclination to shift away from that norm due to all competitive pressure having been eliminated. Quicker change will be achieved by leaving tariffs as they are.
Thirdly, none of this is necessary. China based automakers would be very happy to invest in new manufacturing facilities in the USA (and elsewhere) to build EVs locally but the US Administration just doesn't want that. It is willing to support inefficient automakers making ICE vehicles in preference to having a single EV made in China (except when made by GM, Ford, Toyoya or Honda) sold on US soil. That is stupid and an affront to EV buyers.
AI and automation will level the field, as relative wage scales become irrelevant factors in cost of production. Proximity (cost) of materials could give some regions the edge when things tighten up, and China WON'T be able to undercut European makers for long.
Every time I hear about the treatment of animals in China, I get absolutely disgusted to the point of feeling sick to my stomach...it’s bloody horrible. Especially when in most other places in the world, dogs are a member of the family. Zero desire to go anywhere near there.

I’d buy a Tesla. Oh, wow, too late, I have. I don’t know much about luxury cars, except they seem to have a lot of little things that eventually break. I like the simplicity of my Model Y, as I hope to keep it until my driving days are over and beyond, assuming level 4 self driving is working in time.
You're not the target-audience. And that is okay, you don't need to get riled up about some other car that doesn't fit your needs.
Good that there are different cars for different taste and budget.
I drove M3 LR for a while and not going back to Tesla anytime soon.
@@tobias_dahlberg true enough.
@@mho0 interesting.
Nice car but the main game is mass production of EVs at or below price parity with equivalent ICE vehicles.
Everything else is a sideshow.
My 911 is still made in Germany and my 4 Runner TRD pro is still made in Japan. I will let others buy Chinese and Mexican products.
Whilst animal welfare may not be China’s or most other country’s topic of pride, what has that dog skinning festival got anything to do with polestar’s ethically sourced Nappa leather or wool whatever it’s called or this subject at all? I think it’s best to stay objective rather than making unfounded, opinionated and unreasonable comparisons.
I wonder why Volvo said good bye to Polestar
Because they are going bankrupt and they have sunk enough money into this pit.
@@user-xh2ex7bx4b They are not going bankrupt. They just received $1bn of funding from a consortium of banks. Volvo reduced its stake in Polestar because Polestar is no longer just a division of Volvo. Polestar makes cars in Volvo's factories, in Geely's factories and will very soon also make cars based on their own platform, in their own factory (Polestar 5 and 6). Makes no sense having it right under Volvo anymore now that they are much more independent within the group. And Volvo needs to focus their spending on their own business at the moment, so Geely takes over.
Another one assimilated by the Borg.
Resistance is futile
hi sam sorry to hear about the heart issues, for your information it appears that the carnivore diet has proven benefit for heart disease, dr paul mason in sydney is one of many experts in this field.
The level of misinformation in this review is outrageous.
Consume this mess with a colossal pile of road salt.
Still an expensive car. Won't be sold much. Depreciation: high.
I don’t get it. You bash Polestar 3 for being made in China. Then you don’t mention the obvious fact that it is scheduled to be made in SC soon.
All metrials wool animal free and all you talk about come from Sweden and Ireland. Get your facts straight before talking about dogs getting killed when you talk about polestar.
Uhm, yeah the Chinese do EAT dog. Or have you not heard? Or seen? So you are saying they don’t abuse those animals? Especially dogs or cats? And they are Soooo concerned about animal welfare they list it on the seats headrests!! We don’t do that in America and imprison those that sponsor dog fights etc. Just ask Michael Vic.
Sam is a bit of a racist. Also: you are allowed to eat dogs in Switzerland. Not to mention what horrific things white Australians do to kangaroos when they skin them alive...but not to eat them...just for fun. Not to forget that they have an entire concentration camp island where they hold Asuan People hostage.
While I don't always agree with Sam and am tempted to throw my phone around while listening to him, I wouldn't suggest that he spreads misinformation. You may not like what he says but I wouldn't disparage his integrity.
@@RandyP-jr1ek What the actual heck is this comment section?
@@tobias_dahlberg It was just for fun :) Sorry! :)
Polestar is designed and manufactured by Chinese Car Maker - Geely. Polestar is TOTALLY Chinese. This is Why They Slashed the Price Before Going on Sale.
If Trump get's in he will double down on the Chinese tariffs and Biden might have to as well . Until they are manufactured in the US the support for these cars are in doubt. I hate the multiple small speaker trend . Since BMW has done this there sound systems have sucked . The 4 inch speakers in the doors is a bad thing.
Polestar doesn't sell at all.....😢😢😢
car makers just add so much BS. AC/heater is all I need.
I wish you hadn’t mentioned the Chinese barbaric abuse of dogs. It’s upsetting and not everyone needs to hear that.
I thought they were bankrupt. Why would anyone risk getting one when aftersales support is terrible on all EVs, but in this case, would be non-existent?
Cruelty free interiors are a thing Sam.
Australia USA UK have horrific cruelty of animals, just watch Dominian
Yes Australia does pull skins off animals while they’re still alive
Sam were you joking about using dog skin to make seats. I wouldn’t buy such car.
Hello mate
Torque vectoring irrelevant for EVs? Are you a straight line racer? Why would the type of propellant and motor address the issues torque vectoring are addressing.
It is not like the battery or motors get more information of the traction, chassis dynamics or user input than an ICE car. Having individual motors for each wheel is not the same as torque vectoring. Torque vectoring is the process of distributing power between the wheels to achieve better traction and turning while you apply power or brakes. The level of sophistication of these calculation and the application of the torque to the wheels makes all the difference in the world:
And it is the only way to make these fat ass EVs not just understeer like most of them, or having very dangerous oversteer charateristics.
25 speakers are used to compensate for the horrible audio environment a car cabin is. Coupled with individual impulse response profiles you are able to accurately mimic much nicer listening venues than inside a car. It can also double as active noise cancelling, but I am not aware if that is the case with Polestar 3
My wife and I are long time subscribers, but your gratuitous description of the dogs in China was incredibly upsetting. This is an innovation and disruption channel, it should never be as emotionally confronting as this video.
Let's all rush out and buy a Chinese EV which, in all likehood, won't be around in a few years. Hopefully, Tesla parts are interchangeable with Polestar.
😅😅😅😅😅
LOL! Animal welfare seats in china😂😂😂😂
Bentleys are crap
What a terrible video. Dude knows nothing.
