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

I don’t know why anyone would get one over a Tesla.
This raises a good question: Why would you buy a specific up-market brand of electric car??? We buy Mercedes, Porsche, and BMW because they have a perceived expertise and competitive edge building well-engineered high performance cars.
Now we have electric cars, which nobody knows dick about making, and people are gladly handing over 100k+ for these German luxury electric cars. Why?
If your neighbor knows much about cars, they aren't impressed, they probably think you're dumb.
If I were to buy an electric car (and I'm not), I'd buy in this order:
1. Tesla - the technology and manufacturing leader
2. Ford - maybe second place to Tesla in experience
3. Toyota - everthing they make is solid
But jokes on us, as Ford and Toyota are scaling back EV as they just don't make money. Akio Toyoda has famously said he doesn't see the EV making sense any time soon.
But we all know that, and we all know if you really want to help the environments, you drive a Corolla instead of a SUV (that you totes need) and you stop buying endless disposable crap from Amazon/Walmart/China that rides over here on ships that are not at all pollution controlled.
