  • What’s even more odd than Polestar’s naming convention, which orders its cars not by class, but when they go on sale?
    Why, it’s to give the new Polestar 4 (which sits in price and size between the Polestar 2 and 3 - go figure) no rear window whatsoever.
    It’s rather anti-dog, but that feature - together with a silhouette that’s more raised saloon than lowered SUV - does help the Polestar 4 stand out against electric rivals.
    But is it enough to challenge the likes of Audi, BMW, Mercedes and Porsche? Top Gear Magazine’s Associate Editor, Tom Ford, has been to find out…

      The levels of climate temperature continue rising because of hell’s flame in addition to the sun’s heat in the decisive grand Quran..
      Quote: July - 26 - 2023 AD
      “Perhaps the questioners would like to say: “O Nasser Mohammad Al-Yemeni, you argued with us, so you increased the arguing to us, and you warn against the striking stones of fire from the planet Saqar, and before that the disaster of the universal and corona war of Allah according to your claim - O man! You made us have a headache from Allah’s universal and corona war disaster, also the overtaking sign of the sun and the warner moon to the humans which passed and ended for a while; as a warning to the humans - according to your claim - before the night precedes the day because of the passage of the planet Saqar, so we have memorized your warnings of various levels with photographic memorization”. Then the khalifa of Allah over the worlds; the Imam Mahdi Nasser Mohammad Al-Yemeni replies to you and I say: O Allah, yes, I cracked your heads with truth; It is true that I do not speak about Allah except the truth, but the verses and the warning of chastisement before the grand chastisement do not avail a people who do not believe in Allah the Great, for they are atheists denying Allah! So if He chastised you with Allah’s soldiers of the severe Covid war disaster (as consecutive signs), your doctors said: “Natural variable-strains of Corona.” So if He chastised you with disasters of Allah’s universal climatic war; the meteorologists said: “That is due to climate changes because of global warming due to the carbon dioxide so it would cause natural disasters.” In fact Allah has sealed the hearts of the criminals among you who turn away intentionally - they will not believe, and they disbelieve in Allah while they know that Allah is the Truth but they hate the truth. Didn’t Covid stop the wheel of life for the whole world in the year twenty twenty, so your entire factories and the carbon oil companies stopped a hundred percent in the year (2020 AD) and the year (Twenty-one), also in separate form in the year (Twenty-two)? And the question that comes up to every sane human being: Have you found the climate disasters in summer of 2020, or in the summer which followed; year 2021 AD that the climate disasters reduced in them? But you found the heat temperature to continue rising in the summer of 2020, summer of 2021, and summer of 2022, also summer of 2023! Are the people of the world cattle as cows that do not think, or are they humans? How can they continue to believe in the global warming theory, surely the entire climate scientists / meteorologists know that Covid 19 destroyed this theory because people of the whole world lock down in the year 2020 until the carbon dioxide is gone from the sky of the planet earth a hundred percent?! And with the acknowledgement of NASA the American Agency and the acknowledgement of the entire climate scientists at the time, they claimed that Covid / Corona solved the climate problem and said: “Maybe a harmful thing is beneficial.” So they firmly believed that the summer heat of (twenty-twenty) is moderate after winter and spring, so they are surprised that the summer temperature continues to rise more severely in the four Corona years (twenty, twenty-one, twenty-two, and the current twenty-three) and they did not find that the climate temperature eased; in fact it continues to rise in every summer, due to the fact the carbon has relationship with the environment and has no relationship with the climate changes by science, logic and the true astrophysics in the Book, and the rain filters the air from dust and from carbon dioxide, don’t you understand?!
      Indeed, you are still suffering from the awful consequences of Corona, with sudden death. So no matter how you hide, the death of famous celebrities and the absence of many elites from screens will expose you.
      Anyway, the major chastisement has shaded you; summer of planet Saqar that is coming from the southern half of planet earth so it would sweep through the northern half of planet earth starting from the remote southeast of earth to the remote southwest of earth, and continuing to advance heading north, northeast of the planet and northwest of the planet until it rides a level above level in the dome of the middle sky at an angle of one hundred and eighty degrees. Then a great global and planetary celestial eclipse occurs. That is the chastisement of a destructive day. How often I warned and cautioned, and said: O Muslims, O Muslims, the planet of chastisement has arrived, the planet of chastisement has arrived. Throughout the years, I have been warning and cautioning the chastisement of the approaching Saqar planet of chastisement, but the Arabs and non-Arabs refused but to disbelieve.
      So listen and have in mind what we will inform you with the Truth: If you see that you can repel the planet Saqar, it is about to obscure the heavenly dome and obliterate from you seeing the entire luminous stars of the sky, including the sun, obscuring it from you, just as it will obliterate from you seeing the entire stars. In fact, it will pass through the celestial dome of the planet earth at the rock bottom (lowest) point, which is the nearest point in its orbit from planet earth, at an angle of one hundred and eighty degrees of Saqar; That is the closest point of passage for the planet Saqar. So often I swore to you for nineteen years ago that I do not sing to you in poetry nor exaggerate unjustly in prose that the planet Saqar will pass in the horizons of the sky of the earth of the humans, obscuring the four directions (south, east, west and north) so where is the escape, O you the atheists denying Allah, the One, the Subduer?!
      So how often I tried to save you by (calling you to) worship Allah, He Alone, no partner for Him, and to disbelieve in your intercessors between Allah’s hands with which Allah did not send down authority for it in the decisive grand Quran, so follow me and do not follow the human satans who hinder the ratification in the true explanatory-statement of the Quran, so pray to your Lord, Him Alone, no partner for Him, so it will be cool and peace upon you on the day of its passage, its flames will befall you if you are not of the praying-worshipers while you are still in the world’s life, so it would hurl sparks as castle at those who turn away, but that is an analogy; in a sense: It sends its sparks in a vertical line (each of you at an angle of one hundred and eighty degrees) to the fact that every inch of the earth is in the range of planet Saqar, and at an angle of one hundred and eighty degrees, its rain descends downward; That is the evil molten rain, then it get into striking stones when its rain enters the earth’s atmosphere; which means that the rain of molten stones solidifies when it enters the atmosphere and turns into balls of the oxide yellow brass, verily, evil is the rain (from clay of brass mixed with another metal) melts and then solidifies into striking pieces when it enters the earth’s atmosphere to be fashioned to withstand against the friction with the atmosphere, so that its rain would be red fireballs that hunt the disbelievers as a sniper with utmost precision, except who asked Allah by the fact of there is no God except He (Allah), and by the fact of His mercy which He ordained upon HimSelf, and by the fact of the greatness of the goodly-pleasure of HimSelf, forgive him/her and to remove from him/her His chastisement by His mercy in order to follow Allah’s caller and His khalifa over the whole world; the Imam Mahdi Nasser Mohammad Al-Yemeni. Ask Allah for steadfastness as you will fail the promise of Allah despite of your noses (unwillingly) If you did not know that Allah comes between a man and his heart, but after what, that you believe in Allah’s true caller? Is it after the heads of young youths turned gray?! The fact that those who postponed their belief in Allah, He Alone, so they do not call upon Allah, He Alone, no partner for Him, until they see the chastisement, they are a people who do not understand; in fact the cattle are more guided in path than them, so this is the reality of those who delay following the caller to the Truth from their Lord until they see the painful chastisement; Allah knows best what they are discrete in hiding of that it is the truth from their Lord to the fact that they did not use their minds before the painful chastisement befall them.”

    I test drove the new Polestar 2 single and dual motor this weekend and I had the same conclusion that the single motor was actually nicer to drive than the dual. However, I felt that both were pretty "boring" when it came to everyday driving. They just felt slow and sluggish. Sure, if you put your foot down, the dual motor would take off, but when just driving around like normal they both felt tired, with little excitement and fun. I also did not feel much difference between the single and dual motor in everyday city driving. They should definitely have a Sport mode button. I look forward to test drive the Polestar 4, but after seeing this I am not holding my breath.

    Not having a single button to switch between custom (user defined) and sport is dumb. They need to add that in a software update. One button, one click. I don’t want to have to navigate through screens. Ideally that button would be on the steering wheel but it’s too late for that.
    Also I agree about the key fob. It needs buttons. I mean most of the time I just use keyless entry but sometimes I need the buttons e.g. my partner is trying to get into the car and I’m still locking the front door, I can just click the button and she can get into the car. Seems cheap to remove the buttons. Also a new key fob makes the whole experience of owning the car nicer. I have an Audi and I like the key fob. It’s solid with metal parts and feels appropriate given the quality of the car. That fob that you showed us looked like a brick of plastic.
    Apart from those complaints though, that car looks fantastic. Good work polestar.

    So it sounds like the P4 handles a bit like the P2 then (both have sprung suspension - not air suspension like the P3) - heavy, little bit of understeer, but well planted and very little body roll (with those heavy batteries on the deck, that's not really much of a surprise). Hopefully the P4 handles bumps and pot-holes better than the P2 ... I look forward to a test drive (August apparently ...) 🚗⚡💨😁

    I own the Polestar 2 performance pack (or my own version of it with a set of Heico coilovers and OZ wheels and Pilot Sport 4ses). I think so far its the only Polestar I like and want to keep. Other than not needing any bigger the performance/range bump is not worth the extra money. Also am not a fan of SUVs in general.
    So far I like the Polestar 4s over other EVs in its class (other than the Macan EV), but I don't see the making the monetary sacrifice to jump from my Polestar 2 to this. On top of liking the Polestar 2 looking more like an evil Volvo, this looks more like an appliance. I think I'd rather look for a second-hand Macan EV in the future though.
