Congrats on being 1 of 270! I suppose that would make me 2 of 270. Which color did you get? Mine is the 3M vinyl wrapped Battleship Gray and it's gorgeous.
@@tigaraivo Hi, I also have white with stripe and I also think it is magically great to drive. Chassis is just pure magic. I have also been on track (Alastaro Circuit) and mid June going to Motopark Circuit. Chassis works pretty much perfectly on the track also (settings were 2-2-2). I had also professional driver helping me with driving lines and he as also wondering what the heck is this car :). He also came later during the day to talk to me and asked again what is this car. I showed Brembos and Öhlins etc. .... he commented like: "damn ... yeah ... that start to explain it ..." My main issue is that what the heck would be my next car so that I would not be disappointed to its driving dynamics :)
Great video, especially liked the comparison with the Thema 8.32, and of course all the footage of the Beeftub. It is so refreshing to see a performance EV which focuses on handling rather than chasing ever more crazy acceleration figures like Tesla. If manufacturers want to get enthusiasts like me out of our ICE cars, we need more models like the BST 270.
Glad you enjoyed the video Mark. It really is a very tactile car, and it’s only when you drive it on roads like that you appreciate the lengths they have gone to in order to make it more communicative with the driver. The chassis is so good, it just deals with dialling out any unwanted interference whilst relaying all the information that’s important back to the driver. I think a lot of other EVs could learn a lot from the Polestar.
*The Reivers did more than just stealing flipping cows and hiding them in a valley.* When they used to raid into northern England, they also killed a lot of Northern English folk there. Especially the men and boys. Thus the women who lost partners we spoken about in the terms of, _"She has been Reivered"._ Indicating her loss of a husband or family member. And now through the ages, and a bit like chinese whispers, it changed to became as we now know it, _"bereaved."_ For the loss of a family member. Nice scenery. Well presented. And I do like the Polestars 8-))...
Thank you for the detailed and informative review. You contributed to my decision on gettng my BST 270 last year. I got the one with the matte wrap in Battleship Grey. Very fun car to drive.
Polestar and it's sister company Volvo....are just hitting it out of the park. Ironically, I consider the Polestar as the Saab replacement. It is an alternative to the German EV's and it is cool. Architects should just line up and buy these rather than any Audi/BMW alternatives.
I have seen plenty of motor reviewers disappointed in the BMW i4 M50. I hope they can get thier hands on this to have thier minds changed about EVs. I also hope Polestar and Geely can improve their drive train, efficiency and charging compared to thier rivals is still an issue. Less of a problem in Europe, with lots of fast charging than big places like the USA and Australia the limited range is a struggle.
The really shitty and worst thing about this car is the middle console. I hate it in my guts. But the rest of the car is just omg the best I love it so much. I just can't stand one cup holder and that fill space with esthetics it's so boring and impractical. At its most .

You lucky man! Great choice of car. Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment. Glad you found the review helpful.
I also have one in battleship. Very good car, but it will be exchanged for a Polestar 4 Performance at the end of September
Great review and glad you Didi it. Hope you get to do a similar thing with the Eletre.
Wonderful review. I wish. 👏👏👏👏👏

Lucky 270!

What on earth are those people in the Corolla doing?
They were cross country runners who ran 6 miles whilst I filmed. Fair play to them. I was exhausted just talking to them!
They seemed to be struggling with their wardrobe, and at one point I thought had lost their keys! Anyway, great review, very much enjoy the channel 👍

@AutoEV regardless of power, did you find the 2024 P2 RWD more fun than the AWD version?
