re: I'm never buying a car called a 'Pole Star'

They are very generic, over priced electric cars with poor range. They are Chinese owned. I don’t know why anyone would get one over a Tesla. Nice interior maybe but that’s subjective.

First, I very much agree with not buying products that feed China and for that reason I would not buy a current Volvo.

That being said the big advantage Polestar has over Tesla is fit and finish. Polestars look and feel like they were made by a large entry-luxury car maker, Teslas do not. They also feel more like and ICE car inside the cabin which some people might like but they have less space as a result. As a driving appliance, Tesla makes a better car. As for the exterior looks I like the Polestar better because they have a more coherent design to my eye. Tesla has yet to hit the design mark for me except the pre-production ideas for the Roadster which they still have plenty of time to frick up.
