    I love this guy. Engineer calling Polestar - I found a test driver. Polestar - How much is he going the charge us? Engineer - Almost nothing he just wants to record it for You Tube and an order of pancakes. Polestar - Testing budget approved.

      In Australia, in November
      I hope they bring some

    Such a fan of the Polestar brand! They are effectively the logical followup on the crazy 850r, s60r, v70r, s60 Polestar and such Volvos in a time where big turbocharged 5 (6) cylinders are no longer allowed. Might not have the noise of a 5 cylinder but a slightly more social city car. Polestar 2 or Polestar precept is probably going to be my next car. So why they make them? Because idiots like me love them!

      I am still very social in my S60R... 270k miles and maintained! Which is more socially responsible: driving a car until it dies completely and can no longer be used, or throwing one away every 5 or 7 years and replacing it with another new one that is using up even more resources? I get the move to EV and I get the thought process of "more efficient" but we also really should consider how much less resources are used once a car is produced to keep it running.
      Besides, that B5254T4 at full throttle is still one of the sexiest sounds on the planet!

      The main advantage of an full-ev is that it could learn the track and save -it on it's memory, next time after few setups can be pushed harder & faster so it will do a faster time with each lap.. i saw that watching the 2019 -WTCR touring racing series with 'Lync CO 03 TCR -Cyan' .. Polestar learned a lot from that..

    It is so excellent to see an engineer for a major electric car brand wanting to develop an electric car for sporty driving, rather than focusing purely on straight line speed.

      Good driving dynamic requires tuning experience and attention to detail, whereas power is mostly achieved by dumping more $, given that "it" does overheat fast and pairs with shitty brakes.

    I was on the fence on this car, but your guys’s smiles and laughing the whole video is pushing me over the edge. Now… how do I get the extra cooling? 🤫
    Edit: After reading more about the car, the only thing messing with me is finding charging stations while living in an apartment. I'm in love with this car. Can you tell Jaokim thanks for setting this up?

    • @MrFelixify
      @MrFelixify 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      That goes for all EV's. Where do you live? If you have a parking garage under the apartment building. just set up a type 2 charger on your parking spot. If you just have street parking. Don't buy an EV if your country doesn't have good charging infrastructure yet.

    I'll be honest I've never really gotten the EV idea, personally I've thought they've only been made to fulfill the moral ideals (ie, fuel economy save the planet). But now I see with Polestar and also the Tesla "lap record" more companies are trying to make them to be fun and enjoyable it may slowly start to tip the balance towards more people going for them as going concerns for track toys.
    I for one would definitely like to see a prepared track version of each type to show what 'could' be done

    • @hughmarcus1
      @hughmarcus1 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      The biggest difficulty is the rate at which they burn energy. It’s possible to have a really fast lap time, but it’s not possible to race for 2 hours. To do both will be the ‘holy grail’ for EVs.

    • @Calle...
      @Calle... 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@hughmarcus1 To be honest, to charge a battery from 10-80% can be done in 10-15 minutes, and in Nordschleife races the pitstops are not much faster than that anyway, so what difference would it make? Maybe it'd still be an issue running one single battery and recharghing it for so long, I don't know.

    Finally got a chance to test drive one myself, with the Performance package of course.
    The car is very good. Gobs of power, strong brakes, taut suspension. I also love the built in Android Auto unit.
    Definitely a car I can see myself owning in a few years once their reliability is worked out.
