    Thanks for your excited review! 😎👍
    You do risk confusing people about OPD and regen. The fact is that OPD settings in the menu does NOT alter the level of regen. The car always use maximum regen and refuses the driver to waste any energy that can be recovered. Only if you brake harder than the regen can absorb the mechanical brakes will be used. And you never feel when that happens (as you correctly mentioned)

    Bryan thank you again for a very thorough review, as usual. I’ve made this comment before on another video but really need to have some objective data about interior noise levels. These big electric SUVs with giant wheels and tires are in some cases not as quiet as you would expect of a “luxury” vehicle. And this is for Polestar: sticking a large portrait display on a pedestal not even angled toward the driver is NOT a premium look. it’s much more graceful to have a curved display in a band like distribution below the brow of the dash. In addition, I have very serious concerns about the very limited dealer network for these cars in the USA and the availability of service. I live in a densely populated area of the US and the nearest dealer is 120 miles away.
    Finally, I would note thatI’ve admired several Polestar 2s in my area, except for their paint job. In our relentless sunny climate, the paint on these cars does not look good after two or three years. That is in marked contrast to the BMW, Audi, Jaguar and Mercedes electric cars, which have beautiful paint jobs.

    I really like this EV. I hope Polestar gets some more sales traction in the United States because the companies product pipeline seems plump with winners.

    Excellent and thorough review as always, thanks. I agree that this by far the best looking EV. I had it on order but cancelled as the time-to-market was far too slow and I bought a BMW iX instead. It's ugly in comparison (at least from the front) but the iX drag co-efficient of 0.25 is much better than the P3's of 0.29

    Excellent quality presentation, well done, it wouldnt matter if you were reviewing a bag of flour, your presentation style is epic. Keep up the amazing work.
    Certified car nerd here .. Polestar 3, although good, is not in the same league as BMW iX.
    I encourage anyone to test drive a base trim iX and a Polestar 3 back to back and you will see what I mean.
    Some transparency on pricing also .. 51:00 .. BMW iX kicks off at 78k GBP in the UK, and the Polestar 3 at 76k GBP, so there is not much in it when base trims are compared.
    Interestingly I test drove a Porsche Macan last weekend (sibling to Cayenne), and I have to say, this had a shockingly cheaped out interior, hard plastics everywhere. I poked my head in a Cayenne, in the hope of something 'luxurious' and befitting of the Porsche name, however I was left disappointed again, finding acres of hard plastics on the door trims. The salesman gleefully advised I can option whatever I like. That may be so, but that is a sweat inducing exercise at Porsche for those that know. If one gets excited with options, this can easily add 50% to the ticket.
    For folks at the pointy end of nice esuv shopping, you may wish to wait for the new BMW iX3. I am waiting for this and will compare with new iX5 in 2025/2026.

    I tested a Polestar 2 and although the drive was very competant I found that I was a passenger in the car interms of what I was able to control in the car. Constantly having to go through screens to change settings like regen is no fun... I find changing the regen settings or driving modes on the fly engaging as a driver and taking this control away makes this a car for people who just want to travel from A to B range rover style. P3 is far from an efficient car either, 305 miles of a 107kW battery.! I'd like to see a comparison with the Porsche Macan at the same price point... £5k less at the basic spec and £10k+ (and the rest!) more at the performance end. The Porsche doesn't tick all the sustainability boxes which is important but it does in terms of efficiency and driving engagement...

    • @AutoEV
      @AutoEV  3 месяца назад

      I’d be interested in doing the comparison with the Macan too, but Polestar are seeing their new 4 as the rival for that car. Which I’ve also driven (but can’t tell you anything about it until next month!). What I will say, however, is the 3 is WAY more efficient than the Audi SQ8 etron I’ve been driving this past week. That is woefully inefficient and simply hard to justify at a six figure price tag when the Polestar 3 annihilates it in every single way in my book.
      The screens aren’t ideal for changing small things, but what I will say is that the size of the graphics and icons on them at least make them easier to select than on other cars.

I'd put my money on a BMW I5 tourer being better to drive. Again - all of that said I'd still take the Polestar - it's stunning!

In comparison a Xiaomi SU7 is between 220000-300000 kuai for similar performance and tech from a brand that is actually known to people. The Xiaomi Home integration is key selling point as everyone has a bunch of Xiaomi appliances at home (for me: AC, Air Purifier, pet feeder, TV...). There is a lot of competition in the 250K range for example: the Tesla Model 3 starts at 231000 and goes up to 340000. Also NIO and IM is in the 300K range, both well known brands. I get that Polestar wants to compete above this level but it is a tough sell. Perhaps an aggressive 250-300K range would be better for Polestar as a higher prices (luxury) as 500K+ is Porsche and BMW territory in who are still trying to sell ICE cars in china and even help the customers to get the blue license plate (which now cost 88000+ kuai, more than the Skoda I learned to drive on :)

New York Stock are nearly delisting polestar due to its tanked share price. It’s basically got bailed out recently by geeley. Price point for your money better than a Merc BMW and Audi. However it all about sales and I think polestar are struggling with exactly what market it’s in? Are they up again Merc or Tesla or somewhere in the middle. Polestar make great looking cars but it need the 3 and 4 to sell big time. I do think zeekr make more exciting cars at a slightly cheaper price. Zeekr come to UK polestar will struggle even more .
