Welcome to the Polestar family! We've had our 22 model LRDM, non performance pack, for almost a year now. Ours is in void (black), but otherwise equiped exactly like yours. So far it's been great, we've made it made it thru it's first MN winter, I guess it it works here it'll work in any cold climate! Congrats, looking forward to seeing more content with it!
I’m on 1.5 MN winters. Zero complaints!
Waiting to see if he does the performance upgrade?
These cars look great in the streets. Can’t wait to see all the reviews you make with it.
Great Max, you have a EV that works, and now you can bring us more North American Polestar content that we are short in North America! Looking forward to your road trips, charging experiences etc!
Great looking car, Max. Can tell by your voice that you are so excited for this vehicle. Looking forward to your content for this car, and others!
You can also close the hatch by swinging your foot under the hatch area...
And you also have dual climate zones in front...
I own a '22 Polestar 2 and absolutely love it.
F150 Lightning comes with a spare tire. Also, wireless Apple CarPlay uses WI-FI not BT.
Looking forward to hearing about how Polestar handles the A pillar trim piece. I had the same thing happen to me on a Polestar rental. I also own a Polestar.
Great video! Congratulations
I enjoyed watching your video. You’re a natural. Looking forward to learning more from your videos. Thanks for taking the time to make this.
Congrats, Max. It's always exciting to get a car you love, and you obviously love this one. Regarding the frunk, I don't care much about a frunk, but I would like a spare tire. I wish EV manufacturers would just make the frunk a place for some kind of spare tire plus jack and tools.
Gratz Max, your street cred just went way up :) Looking forward to more videos from you and your new car.
Totally agree teslas are everywhere and pretty boring do to that. However this polestar looks unique. That hatchback is a big plus. I’m in FL now so one motor would be fine however I would prefer a rwd. If I went polestar I’d have to spend a little more for dual motor
The 2024 Polestar 2 will offer RWD with a new battery pack that offers larger capacity and a faster peak charging limit.
@@TuomasLeone thanks
You need to wrap the piano black in the center console!
Nice car choice and spec. Regarding charging - It's usually cheaper to have a lower amperage circuit installed. I went with a 30 amp, which allows me to charge at 24 amps. Plenty for my needs, and I avoided an expensive panel upgrade.
Congrats. I got the sister car, a CPO 2022 Volvo XC40 Recharge, a month ago. I do charge on 120 V at the in-laws but agree L2 is essential for daily/ weekly driving if L1 can not support your use case. L1 is fine for some.
Congrats Max! Finally another Tuber who can provide deep-dive reviews of the PS2. Looking forward to more content from your journey. Yay!
Beautiful Polestar. Congratulations!!
I’ve been using the Vevor charger in my garage to charge my Rivian for almost a year and despite its less than 250 price it has been nothing but excellent
Max, until you get the home wired for a dedicated 240 volt EV circuit. There's a couple of other options you could use. There's a way to combine two 120 volt circuits.Or if the dryer is close enough, there's a few ways to use that circuit.
BTW, it seems like you got a great deal on it..... And I look forward to the post about it.... Congrats...
Awesome walkthrough of the polestar Max, congrats on your first EV and owning your first car!! As a tesla cult member, I appreciate your balanced review and comparison to the 3 and Y! So many people just 💩 on tesla really unfairly when they get some other EV, but your critiques and praises are very fair! Enjoy the Polestar man :)
Great job Max! Love the run through
I own a 2022 P2. Zero issues, and no more oil changes.
Congrats!
Absolutlly stunning car. I own its brother - XC40 - but I hope to buy Polestar 2 one day. :)
Well done Max. Great choice!
Congrats on your new EV!!!
I'm looking at buying a pre owned Polestar within the next year. (I thought about leasing bc I would keep an ICEV and I should stay under the annual mileage). I think the Google Android Automotive is very easy to use and teh integration with Google Maps is seemless and I love the map on the gauge cluster. I've rented Polestars before and I love the way they drive. It's a much better experience than Tesla 3 or Y to me. Still looking to rent a Mach E to see how it feels. VW ID.4 is on my list as well.
So much better than Kyle's Twizy!
You really can just open the door when you stop and it will put the car into park. Love that too.
Congrats on your Polestar 2 Max. I bought a 22 LRDM back in February. My first EV. Loving it so far. I've already done a trip from Austin to Phoenix and back. No issues.
I'm curious if you'll be hauling your bikes with the Polestar. I plan on hauling my mountain bike and kayaks on the factory roof rack.
Considering the retractable tow bar option but it’s pricey 😢
I have never seen a retractable hitch on a US vehicle. I thought they were not legal??? Would love to see a post on one.
@@nc3826 it’s a very Swedish thing haha! Only a 1 1/4” receiver sadly
@@iMaxPatten It's common Across Europe .... I always thought they were cool... Just never seen it used on a, US speced model....
@@iMaxPatten and if it takes a while to get the dedicated 240 volt EV electrical circuit...
There are some alternatives... I could give you some details on if you're interested????
Congrats Max! My 2022 Etron Chronos came with an inflatable spare tire.
Really excited for this content!!
Great looking Car, congrats. Will be nice to see it on the roads.
Bravo, Max. Nice choice. 🤙🏼
Really nice car and colour. I would’ve preferred your car over my Tesla but they cost way too much new to get a good spec and used EVs hold their value well in Australia at the moment so unfortunately I couldn’t get one.
Very nice. There are a couple of these around my way. Greenwich. With the performance pack it really makes them stand out. Good taste Max🙏👊
FWIW There's more than one Greenwich
I know this video is about EVs, but I'd really like to know more about the Canyon road bikes in the garage!
I’m a triathlete so I use the Aeroad! The Grail goes out in rough weather days. Love them both! Great value for the money
@@iMaxPatten Great to see a fellow cyclist doing a car review! The first thing I do when I'm car shopping is to see how my bike fits in the car. I ride a XS frame so usually not an issue in most hatches. Looks like a tight fit in the PS2. At least my wife has the Outback!
TFTC and congratulations on the new car
Hey Max, congratulations on your new to you Polestar 2. This car has been on my radar since it came out but I have been hesitant to pull the trigger on one due to concerns about repairs when something breaks with the limited service centers. Keep us updated on getting that plastic replaced and any other servicing issues you run into as you rack up the miles.
I can say my PS2 has 19k miles, 16 months old and have had zero issues. Did take it I n for a service and for a software update that I missed OTA. I do have a Space near me so I can't answer the service question when it does break, but they are very solid overall. Most issues on the boards are software, but again no issues and I upgraded the engine performance OTA.
The most underrated PS2 color! Love the moon in person, but it doesn't photographn well. Get the Performance upgrade ASAp! Love it.
Yes, how long before he gets it?
Max, Nice EV. Congratulations!
We love our P2! We got the basic seats and we though they felt very nice, then again we were used to basic Honda and Nissan seats so.........sliding scale I guess lol. The basic is a textile, the WeaveTech your referring to is what you get with the Plus pack and DON'T upgrade to the Nappa leather with ventilation so there's 3 levels of materials.
I tried the textile in a test car and actually preferred those to the upgraded WeaveTech! It’s like a bad middle option haha
@@iMaxPatten We thought it felt nice, but we've heard anecdotally from other polestar owners that it doesn't breathe well so isn't good in hot climates. Deal breaker for us as we're in Phoenix lol.
Hi Max. Hello from Melbourne, Australia. Love watching your videos and also feel the same as you about the P2 v M3. I tried to like the M3 but just doesn’t feel special. P2 feels special and looks special and will age well. I’m trying to decide between a MY24 SMSR and a MY23 DMLR with performance pack. Love the look of the wheels and brakes on the performance but but concerned about range and tyres cost. I’ll be doing about 300 miles a week mostly urban and done freeway driving. Thoughts?
$46 000 with those seats is a bargain
Congratulations
Great content, would love to hear your thoughts in the P2 when you've spent more time with your ride..
Congrats 🎉
I know it's not important for some people but the cupholder situation was the deal breaker for us as we often drive together in the car and each use a cupholder...this was not a liveable daily driving setup for us so we went with a Mach-E. But hope you enjoy yours, that's a great price for it.
great spec. enjoy!
Congratulations! On some models of Hyundai/KIA EV’s, a spare tire is an extra cost option.
Congrats. I’m surprised a rental agency specced a pp but perhaps it was a high end cars rental agency. Hertz typically buys the base polestars. Good find either way
congrats good choice
Life will be MUCH easier once you get a home charger. Right now, home charging MAKES an EV AWESOME! And knowing that you can trek down Interstates is, well, a step in the right direction. ICE vehicle are still the "sure thing", but that's gonna' change -- and hopefully soon!
Why not a XC40 Recharge? Uses they seem similarly priced. But you may have more features in the P*2.
I think it's a beautiful car I really like it!
Rivian’s are examples of EV’S that have space for spares although they are optional equipment
Great EV for cold climate zone!
Nice Aeroad!!!!
Hi, CPO is for me a abbreviation for Charge Point Operator, also often in text and legislative letters from governments and in standards.
Polestar 2 CPO prices near me are just disconnected from reality. I'd buy one from a Polestar Space if they were slightly more expensive than a non-CPO, but it's like $10,000 more...
Hey Max,
I’m interested in getting a used polestar 2 later this year.
I know polestar offers free two year charging, I’m wondering if the used polestars2 still qualify for the free charging?
They don’t
I like the car but I hate that big Bulky middle console
2021 model for $39k? Recommended?
nice
What happened to the A pillar on passenger side?! And people talk about Tesla build quality lol.
I mention it in video lol
fanboys and their shorter attention span, strike again lol
You can see these selling used, two years old for $25,000.
Does it have back up camera?
Yes. And 360
I believe it’s required these days.
same channel as Kyle ? www.youtube.com/@OutofSpecReviews
Kyle must have loved you flying then doing a long road trip back.
Sharp car max
Looks like everyone is throwing cash around willy nilly buying these fancy new cars, Lucid, Taycan, new 3, and now this? Ok
You paid way too much as far as I can tell. You can get one near me for well under 40K.
Yeah, non-CPO are sub-$37K with no options. He paid more going through Space and CPO.
Hmmm. Made in China car ?
Yup! Like an iPhone.
Yup. Like everything else you own
Engineered and designed by Swedes!
Made in CHII NNNA
But designed and engineered by Swedish!
@@normt430 Yeah right...Whatever you say.
@@bob-qi4nr Polestar - Volvo Car Group’s performance road car brand - has started construction of a new headquarter building located in Torslanda, Sweden, on the same campus as the main Volvo Cars head offices and factory.
The new Polestar head office building will consist of three levels and offers 3'800 square meters of office space and development area for up to 200 employees, up from the current 110 Polestar employees. The building will also incorporate exhibition and display areas for a number of cars, a press release from the company reads.
Construction of the company's new headquarters is expected to be completed in September 2018.
Besides building a new company HQ, Polestar has also appointed Hans Pehrson as new Head of Research and Development and Electric Propulsion Strategy.
Pehrson has worked for over 30 years within the automotive industry, including positions such as Technical Director for the Volvo C30 Electric - the first electric car of the Volvo Car Group, manager of Volvo Cars Electric Propulsion System Engineering and most recently supporting the London EV Company with the new London Taxi.
Part of his role as Head of R&D will be responsibility for the Polestar electric propulsion strategy and he will be a member of the Polestar Management Team.
”I am very excited to join Polestar, a company in the forefront of technology and developing the electric cars that will be the future of the automotive industry, and where my passion lies. This important field is changing rapidly and I am really looking forward to being part of that development, and continuing to push the boundaries of new technology within electric vehicles,” Pehrson said in the press release.
@@normt430 That's a lot of info for someone who doesn't give a crap.
Why would you young kids buy a stupid 4 door sedan. When I was your age I would be embarrassed to drive something like that. I would drive sports cars like Corvettes Camaros Porsches Mustangs. Actually I still do at 65 except now I drive my Huracan every day....Kids these days...SMH
This puts about 400 AWD horsepower at the wheels!
@@normt430 And looks like CRAP
@@bob-qi4nr some of like like sleepers. Remember those?
@@normt430 It will definitely put me to sleep. This car is real chick magnet.
@@bob-qi4nr lol! Think you want a Subaru WRX STi? You'll this instead!
