    This video is on point. Some Tesla enthusiasts try to convince me that it has the better tech (efficiency, autopilot...). Others tell me I should go for something more economical. What both don't get is the emotional side. I'm simply in love with this car, especially with the Nappa seats. No other car at this price range will give me the deep satisfaction that I'll get by approaching and driving it. I don't care about Tesla's alleged or real superiority. Their design is boring, if not ugly. And who cares about a few Euros more if the money literally makes me happy each time I enter it. Priceless. Can't wait to own it.

    I find it really interesting to know in their heart of hearts what the reviewers feel about the cars they drive beyond all the data and facts so this is really refreshing. I agree it’s all about the way a car makes you feel. That’s the deciding factor when there are so many good choices on the market.

    Let me just say this: I love when you display your feelings. When I started watching your videos, I was trying to discover which EV to purchase. Then I saw your video of the Polestar and Tesla comparison while at the conclusion while the piano music was playing; I almost cried. Lol. It was so dramatic. Anyway, I have been with you every since and watch you exclusively for EV reviews. I have ordered my P2 and currently awaiting delivery. Thank you going beyond the data.

    Awesome review, for some people a car is a point a to b thing but feeling is a big factor buying a car as you really spend alot of time in the car if you use it daily! I drive ~2500km per year which is not much but with an average of 70kmh it amounts to aprox 340h/year spending time in your car..

    Subscribed to begge :) Just love my PS2. The leather interior is amazing, just love it. Especially the ventilated seats, when I sit in the car after a long workout it is so comfortable cooling down. Also got the Performance Pack. The only things I dont like is the placement of cupholder (got used to it now tho, and I'm the only one sitting in front 95% of the time) and missing the mudflaps. Those are coming tho. Tomorrow the new update is rolling out with the app.

    Recently tried a PS2 for a few days and I as well liked it, but I don't get why the space left of the pedals has to be so small. I have shoe size 49 and it's really uncomfortable. Not even mentioning that the seating position is also uncomfortable for my size (1,95m).

    Thank you for your Videos. They are always very objective. Except this. You warned. But I agree, that the Polestar is great. I don't want to compare it. For every criteria one may find a better one. But as a Polestar driver I can say, that it is just a great package. I love to drive mine. I love cruising comfortably. I use it as a family car. No real need for the performance but just immediately there if you want.

    So the Polestar 2 isn’t at the top of the class when it comes to low NVH? (Like you, Kris, I like quiet cars.) How did you find the VW ID.4 in terms of road/wind noise versus the Polestar 2? Of course I might also cross-shop with the Q4 e-tron when it comes out, so I’m sure an Audi wins over a VW in terms of a quiet cabin. But I have to say, as much as I like VWs (I drive an e-Golf now), the Polestar 2 has really captivated me! 😁

    But this is just the point with cars. Yes, some objective values might be of interest, but the buying process is mostly a subjective one.
    Otherwise we would all drive the same car, as objectively it would be the best one.
