Really enjoyed this review, thank you, I have watched so many but actually learned a few new things here. I have this exact model, in the same colour too, being delivered Mid December. I am extremely excited!
Congratulations. You have bought an extremely Nice car 👌🔋⚡️
Great review, thanks Jimi!

Saw your note on Facebook and decided to check you out.
Very impressed with the editing 👌
I know they're quite similar cars, but would be interested on your take on the Volvo XC40 Recharge Twin.
Thanks alot 😊
I have actually owned an xc40 P8 Recharge myself and I was not impressed by the high consumption and a suspension that did not handle the power well 😊
@@jimirosa well that's all I need 😉
I live in France, and couldn't order a Polestar so went for the XC40 (litigation with Citroen).
1 month after the order, they found and agreement, but I can't cancel the order without serious penalties.
So now hopefully the Volvo is delayed and I can use that as breach of contract (your comment is pushing me in that direction, and I'm not in a hurry)
Once again thanks and looking forward to your other uploads.
@@Nitsugua80 just Happy to help 😊⚡️🔋
Fedt Jimi ! :)
Tak Thomas 😊
Det skulle prøves 😊
Gostei do video e do carro .. Like your video and the car... TKS
Thanks ❤️
The car is Nice.
Hi Jimi. Thank you for your report. Next year 2023 I will order the Long Range DM without the performance package. Hope Polestar will bring at least a software update which improves the range a little bit. Also maybe the charging power. Or is this a technical/hardware thing? Anyway. Can't wait until next summer. Go ahead with your videos. I like them. Best regards from Switzerland.
tThank you for your Comment. I think that software can help slightly faster DC charging. but I unfortunately think that the challenge with consumption is due to the car using permanent magnet motors on both axles. Thank you for your support 😊
Good review, nice car. I recently did test drive from polestar dealership in Sydney. 1st impressions were great where we decided to hire the polestar 2 for a couple of days through Hertz to get better feel longer distance. Overall we were not disappointed but a few areas which could be better but not necessary a deal breaker from our perspective. 1. The indicated range on the car was 540 km but we never got higher than 390km when fully charged, couldn’t be sure but we suspect the car was standard 2 wheel front drive, not the extended range battery or all wheel drive. Also interesting when charging recommendation on charge display to charge up to 90% to preserve battery, so guess that further restricts range compared to laboratory test figure’s therefore real world figure at best was 390kms. For the car given it’s size the driver an passenger front seats although comfortable should have more space where centre console between seats cramped the driver & passenger which gave the feeling of being hemmed in. The car we had with sunroof was nice but lack of headroom entering & exiting the vehicle was annoying where you had to duck to avoid hitting head, me being 5’8 that shouldn’t have been a problem. Lastly no idea why but high transmission/ raised section on floor middle of back seat, kind of got in the way, not sure why that was there ! Overall still the car was still really good but before shelving out around $85k on road you would still want to address usability and ergonomics, that said the car and quality was top notch. Still serious about buying but in that price range got to do homework. Ps polestar bringing out updated model year end 23, rear wheel drive and longer range so not really worth buying before unless it’s I want now. Hope this helps anyone looking.
Thanks for Those real World inputs 👍😊🔋🪫⚡️
You can now buy the software upgrade on any dual motor now, even if you don't have the performance package, at a smaller price (1200 here in the US). Kinda makes the performance package even more of a niche upgrade than it already was.
I Think it’s the same here in Denmark now.
Thank for the input and for watching 👍😊
Great review mate 👍 I've ordered this and will be driving a lot in London. Probably didn't need to get performance but I did! I think it will still be a nice drive?! :)
Thanks Champ. Offcourse the Performance version will be more fun to drive. Congratulations 👍😊
Hiii Jimi...my name is Rodrigo and I'm from Brazil....I just liked a lot your video...and I have to say that this car is my favorite EV...Hope I can buy it someday...
Hi Rodrigo.
Thanks for watching. I hope You get you’re self a Polestar 2. It’s great.
Have a great Day 👍😊
It is a great car.
I totally agree.
Thanks for watching 😊
Not bad Jimi, not bad at all 👏
Thanks a lot Jakob 😊
Hi Jimi, great video. Im from China, dring Polestar 2 dual motor now. Brought it at half price, cos there are too many EV brands in China. I used to own a model 3 half year ago. Have to say polestart 2 is a great car, however, the price is big issue for them. If they could offer 30-40% discount on the MSRP, it would be very competivtive in EU market.
Hi there. Here in Denmark, there are not that many different electric cars yet, and the prices are unfortunately quite high. Polestar is one of my favourites, but I also love the Tesla and MEB cars from the VW group. Thanks for watching
Thank you for this great review. I just got this exact car, and I absolutely love it! What are your thoughts on the front badge on the grill… Polestar engineered?
This is absolutely my favorite EV out there
Thanks for your inputs.
I'm a big fan of the car myself.
Only its consumption disappoints a little, but not a deal breaker.
I think the badge on the front is tasteful and I would leave it there. 👍😊🔋⚡️
I agree with you. Going to leave it on mine. It does not seem that every ‘23 Polestar 2 has that badge. I wonder how that was decided?
Any clue?
Same with the windshield hook I guess I could be useful, just wasn’t expecting it
@@robc7563 Only the cars with the Performance upgrade (either the full package or the software update) get the grill badge.
Sounds like the Plus and Pilot Lite packs are the same as in the UK, i.e. you need both to get the heat pump and ACC. Still its a nice car!
Its is a very Nice car. But quiet expensive to get ACC and heat pump.
Thanks for watching 😊
@@jimirosa Should be standard, even smaller and cheaper EVs have that as standard.
But you should be able to have a generator effect which means that you can transfer power to the battery on the downhill without the car stopping on the downhill. You transfer power as long as a car is rolling, but you don't transfer power to the battery when the car is stationary
You are correct. Did I say anything Else Then that?
Looking to see what the 2024 will do ,I hear a rwd will replace the fwd model single and single long range
It's super exciting and completely correct. The MY24 models switch from front-wheel drive to rear-wheel drive. In addition to that, slightly larger batteries, better efficiency and faster charging.
After 3 months of driving the ‘23 LRDM w/ Pilot package, my only complaint is the center console and how it interferes with my right leg. I use this car exclusively for local driving; any long range travel is done in an ICE car because of the intrusive console.
Okay. Thanks for the input and for watching 😊⚡️🔋
I felt that way at first too with the right leg. After I raised the seat position and steering wheel I’ve mostly not had a problem with it since
❤❤❤ ⚡🚘
❤️👍
So nice in english 👌👌Meget bedre en Kris Rifa, Teslabjörn og hvad de andre nu hedder 👍👍
😂👍
Tak Champ 😊
I wish America had fast chargers that work that fast
Unfortunately, I have never been to the USA. I hope to visit the country in the near future.
In Central Europe, however, we are favored with a rather nice DC charging network.
Thanks for watching 👍😊
Why does this car need Brembos? Does its efficiency on the regenerative braking go up with them?
No. The brakes does not have any impact on the cars efficiency. The better brakes are primarily important for trackway and hard driving. For normal commuting it's only the looks of the larger and flashy calibers that you get...
They are GREAT! Used to have the LRSM and my PP23 is just a whole 'nother level of car 🎉
AND the calipers look 😍
@@leluyaa your range must really suck with those tires n brakes!
@@prajwas2004 If I complained about the least thing I'd be a spoiled brat. The answer's no, this is my 2nd Polestar and it's great 👍🏼
Wish you the best day amigo 🙏🏼
@@leluyaa mine arrives Friday. I didn't get the 20 inch wheels though. Multiple folks told me that it reduces the range on the car. Do you get 250+ ?
This video is great. Do people have a decent perception of Volvo or Polestar still or do people view them more as a Chinese company these days
Thank you very much.
Here in Denmark, Polestar is considered a strong brand. But some will not buy them because of their Chinese origin.
Thanks for watching
Most people - even here in southern California - have no idea what a Polestar is.
@@jimirosa Their origin is Swedish. People need to be educated. Really, the only thing Chinese behind this brand is the financing. The Polestar started off in Sweden as a racing company. It later became Volvo's sports skunk works. When it rolled off from Volvo, the Polestar 1 was the Volvo Concept Coupe and the Polestar 2 was the Concept 40.2. Nobody Chinese is involved with the design and engineering of these cars. Polestar's CEO was a top designer at Volvo and their head designer was one of three top designers at Volvo. Polestar is headquartered in Sweden where all the teams work on the cars. At some point, Volvo and Polestar will use the Geely SEA platform for some of their cars and even that was chiefly engineered by a Swede that at one time worked for Volvo. Polestar is a Scandinavian brand with a Chinese parent company. But it is a Scandinavian brand.
@@benjaminsmith2287 Thank you man. I appreciate you sharing the real story of Polestar :)
@@benjaminsmith2287.... Yeah ... I've been there .... just as long as what you say/ produce is in line with the Chinese owner ...... try anything else and you will be looking at the jobs needed in your local paper !!
Doesn't seem long ago that 350 kw was a AMG V8 supercharged or a top of the line Mustang or Camaro.
True. EV’s are just alot esier to make go fast 😊
Thanks for watching 😊
And on the other side, you can find a tuned Volvo S 70 with 500 horses Under 100,000 Swedish kronor
@@Andersljungberg ... with no warranty and a life expectancy of about half a summer.
I didn't know this car belonged to the Volvo group, I suspected it due to similarities with the Volvo. Indeed a good car, but with a very high price that limits the widespread sale.
Hi Luis.
I'm glad you benefited from my video. Thanks for watching 😊
/Jimi
Yes, it's in the Volvo group and this car was originally designed as a Volvo. Polestar was the performance skunk works of Volvo and always priced higher than Volvo. It's around the same price as Volvo or more.
I have a Tesla Model 3 performance and I’m not that happy with it. I like the Polestar stying but like Jimi says, it a bit thirsty.
Hi there.
Your car may well be a little harsh for daily use. But Tesla is also quite good in terms of consumption and performance.
Thanks for watching.
/Jimi
With all the cargo room you should add a small insulated generator to the back and run it when charge is low to charge battery while driving. It would give you near infinite range.
😂👍
For $70,000 Cdn, let’s hope it has some style
It’s not cheap… 🫣
I think my biggest issue with this car is that it is already falling behind the competition in terms of range...it has just bad range for the price your you're paying and the model 3 is still somwhat a a benchmark in that regard. But otherwise i think it's one of if not the best offering in this segment.
I'm talking about cars here on the channel, not politics or climate.
@@jimirosa well if politics is what you got out of my comment (i was clearly talking about the RANGE of the cars), then i am replying to a potatoe here and not a genuine person :D Cheers
@@jimirosa rude dude 😒
@@steverichard2786 Well it's stil the internet, you'll always experience the presence of narrow-minded fools :) all good
"like driving a Tesla" regarding energy regeneration. I call BS on that. The Tesla does not do it anywhere near as well. The energy regeneration is like a switch on the Tesla, ... and if you use the brake pedal you are using the hydraulic friction brakes.
The Polestar is streets ahead in this feature. Selectable regeneration modes ... and ... the brake pedal also uses a blend of regeneration which only uses the friction brakes in heavy braking situations.
I have owned a Model Y and I definitely think you are wrong
@@jimirosa I believe I stated a fact. Tesla does not use regen when pressing the brake pedal. Also, can you vary your regen with the 1 pedal drive?
No heat pump… yikes
This one has, but You will have to Pay for it…
You have a glaring error in your review. Some Volvo cars are still being produced in Sweden for the european market. Polestar cars are made in China. So saying that all production was moved to China is dead wrong.
I’m sorry. You are correct. A few Volvos are still Build in sweeden. Bit many Volvos Arr today from China
Volvo doe’s have Gothenburg Sweden and Genth Belgium plants in Europe, with a capacity of up to 600000 cars, plus 150000 in the US South Carolina plant. The two plants in China are producing most cars for the local market, and different models for worldwide markets, depending on sales and production planing. A third plant in Europe with a capacity of 250000 electric cars I’ll be built in Slovakia until 2026.
Polestar 2 are all coming from China, Polstar 3 and Volvo EX90 I’ll be produced in the US.
All in all, far away from “many” Volvos are from China.
About the Polestar 2 I’m with you, great to drive, great design, thirsty and not cheap, but a good package, all in all. I’m wondering if the Polestar gets the new engine and Battery lineup, announced for Volvo C/XC40, with single RWD and different RWD oriented Motor’s for AWD, bigger Battery and charging up to 200kW.
Performance absolutely. Style? Meh. For that price you’d hope for more aesthetically pleasing curves and less boxy corners.
This is of course an individual opinion. I'm quite fond of it.
Thanks for watching 😊
Chinese made hmmmm no thank you
No reviewers show how toxic these batteries are to our environment
Guess it doesn't fit the message
It is of course your right to have your opinion.
But the whole talk about climate impact goes much deeper than you or I have knowledge about.
The cleanest vehicle is a bicycle. Regarding the politics, I relate only to the car.
