I love this guy. Engineer calling Polestar - I found a test driver. Polestar - How much is he going the charge us? Engineer - Almost nothing he just wants to record it for You Tube and an order of pancakes. Polestar - Testing budget approved.
Incredible feed back from the chassis engineer, go harder, push it, the way you two were laughing so hard was just the best, awesome pair of cars, wish I could get a Polestar 1 in Oz, Rj in Oz
Such a huge shame no Polestar 1 was made available in Australia 😫 When they launch Polestar 2 In Australia, in November I hope they bring some Polestar 1, to Australia for PR & marketing etc As this will help generate more attention for the launch of Polestar 2… 🙏🏻
This engineer knows that people shouldn't need to lose their love of driving just because it's an EV and gives me hope for the future! I hope they start selling more in the US
@@numbereightyseven ayo its humor based, you are maybe a bit harsh of a drongo mate cool down, you are in limb mode EDIT: And remember he is an engineer, what created the car, so he knows exactly the maximum what the car can do. frfr i studying engeneering right now, and what you learn between, weight, force and tracktion is insane, the difference between normies and race driver, racedriver not only drive good, they also now much about the car physics ;)
Seeing Joakim havin such a joy sitting next to you and still selling the advantages of the car with such a joy is a tremendous fun. Really enjoyed the ride with you guys.
Such a fan of the Polestar brand! They are effectively the logical followup on the crazy 850r, s60r, v70r, s60 Polestar and such Volvos in a time where big turbocharged 5 (6) cylinders are no longer allowed. Might not have the noise of a 5 cylinder but a slightly more social city car. Polestar 2 or Polestar precept is probably going to be my next car. So why they make them? Because idiots like me love them!
I am still very social in my S60R... 270k miles and maintained! Which is more socially responsible: driving a car until it dies completely and can no longer be used, or throwing one away every 5 or 7 years and replacing it with another new one that is using up even more resources? I get the move to EV and I get the thought process of "more efficient" but we also really should consider how much less resources are used once a car is produced to keep it running. Besides, that B5254T4 at full throttle is still one of the sexiest sounds on the planet!
The main advantage of an full-ev is that it could learn the track and save -it on it's memory, next time after few setups can be pushed harder & faster so it will do a faster time with each lap.. i saw that watching the 2019 -WTCR touring racing series with 'Lync CO 03 TCR -Cyan' .. Polestar learned a lot from that..
@@johnp999 In all fairness, I've seen sleeping drivers behind a Tesla drive better than the average driver... So I can completely see your point happening.
This might be the best clip I have seen so far together with Misha and the Nürburgring. So fun to see the interaction between you guys. Who said that swedes are calm and boring?
From 97% to 62% in one lap. We'll need a lot more regeneration before we will see an electric endurance race on the Nordschleife. Can't wait to see what happens once the Porsche Mission R enters the scene.
@@Shadowed007 i think there's still not enough interest to develope the automobile battery tech yet. Maybe once Tesla joined the WEC then we will see a massive increase in battery development and innovation
Once again Polestar comes through with something quite extraordinary. Really one of the most impressive new technology cars. Loads of smiles watching this one.
Great to see that polestar have improved the car, especially thermal management to do a full lap. Hats off again to you for giving it a go too. A full ev that is fun - wow!
It’s amazing the way you can watch the battery percentage ticking down in real time. But yes it is also amazing that because of the cooling it didn’t lose any power. Electric cars really are at their infancy.
Might I add, owning a polestar 2, is a HUGE amount of fun, an unbelievable amount of freedom, and the greatest joy I have had with a car. I miss the blowout valve sounds, but just living with this car everyday is amazing. I love you polestar
@@DroneChannelUSAthats because power specs of model3p is much better than polestar2. But with ohlins sus, polestar2 feels much better at body control and stability while cornering.
What my husband calls my 'Polestar chortle' is what is what we see here. Fun fun fun, and it's great to watch, brilliant to see you two having a grand time.
What amazing videos with Polestar. Loving the actitud from a developer and engineer enjoying his child creation and sharing the experience. Thanks Misha.
Really love how the Polestar 2 performs on the Nordschleife and I would like to see a performance package, which is fitted with semi-slicks, no speed limiter, rollcage, bucket seats (if it's possible) and other nice touches that will give the car more attention from the general public
My neighbour has exactly the same model and let me test drive it. Honestly, this car has the best brake/suspension setup I have driven ever since the Ferrari 458. Absolutely stunning car! I have never expected a production EV to be so fun and easy to drive. Such a great car!
Watching this video exactly before taking this exact car for a two day spin. The amount of enthusiasm of him exuding about the car also on Micha is probably the best Polestar advertising. Love it
this is the kinda videos car brands should invest on, pure content, and pure reactions, i think that calls so much good attention. Congrats on the video Misha, with love from Portugal.
Drove a Polestar 2 Dual motor with Perfomance pack on Circuit Zandvoort this weekend. Very impressive indeed, easy to drive on the limit, nice steering, very good Öhlins suspension and Brembo brakes. A real joy and EV's are here to stay!
You 2 have such good chemistry! Great informative FUN! Polestar's intuition was spot on to let You have the car(s) for feedback & adjustments! Well done!! Hope You do more with Polestar! I suspect You will! Top Drawer as always Misha!
This engineer had me laughing my ass off!! Love that guy.... he was just focus on going fast and also the performance 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Love the energy and vibe in the vid Misha.
"Wow....you drive a bit fast" LMAO So nice to see the man who design the chassis enjoying the ride and even asking for more Sidenote: it discharges fast...97% to 62% , wonder how the Tesla S Plaid is doing on power management However on daily use you don't take the car to its limits
@blacknester If by "normal" you mean older generations, then yes. Model 3 has had no battery heating issues since 2019 and the newest generation of Model S (2021) neither has that issue anymore. But stock brakes will still overheat.
I usually don't "complain" but I think that you should have let him speak more. I felt like he was about to say something many times when you interrupted him. However, good and funny video anyway 😁
Misha also had to persist to get the engineer to admit the car was not like the polestar he'd driven previously - that there was additional heat management/cooling. So I appreciate he pushed the engineer to address that honestly.
Great car, by far the most interesting accessible EV out there at the moment. And Joakim seems great, prefect blend of real passion for his subject and low-key crazy.
Got to drive the Polestar P2 around Florida. That car gathered a ton of attention from strangers. Everyone loved it. Got to show someone up when they tried revving a mustang up against the Polestar. Poor kid never saw it coming. 😂🤧
I was on the fence on this car, but your guys’s smiles and laughing the whole video is pushing me over the edge. Now… how do I get the extra cooling? 🤫 Edit: After reading more about the car, the only thing messing with me is finding charging stations while living in an apartment. I'm in love with this car. Can you tell Jaokim thanks for setting this up?
That goes for all EV's. Where do you live? If you have a parking garage under the apartment building. just set up a type 2 charger on your parking spot. If you just have street parking. Don't buy an EV if your country doesn't have good charging infrastructure yet.
This is a fantastic video. I love the reaction of both of you while driving, just amazing. The performance is very surprising and I look forward to getting my press car today. Thanks for sharing this.
i thought polestar was all about brand , not about car from adverts, now i know they are about the car , i will consider one next chance i have to change car for sure GG
I see one now and then in my village they look great they have a bit of the old Volvo and audi Sharp lines but in such a smooth design. It's great to see EV content can be nice instead of the same old yeah its gone fast. PS: your remark about empty level market got me looking into them and they are a lot cheaper then i thought.
My dad has also apparently met you as Joakim is one of his closest colleagues and the two of them developed the chassis for the Polestar, glad you liked it :D
It is so excellent to see an engineer for a major electric car brand wanting to develop an electric car for sporty driving, rather than focusing purely on straight line speed.
Good driving dynamic requires tuning experience and attention to detail, whereas power is mostly achieved by dumping more $, given that "it" does overheat fast and pairs with shitty brakes.
Finally got a chance to test drive one myself, with the Performance package of course. The car is very good. Gobs of power, strong brakes, taut suspension. I also love the built in Android Auto unit. Definitely a car I can see myself owning in a few years once their reliability is worked out.
I hope you bought him dinner afterwards! But then again the marketing this did for Polestar.. hmmm! It went off kind of like a giggly dinner-date anyway! This vehicle blows my mind, so glad they came back with this updated version for you guys to share with us!!
Hi Misha, tx for the video it really changed my mind to get the Performance Pack! Wondering what would be your favourite spec and setup for a Polestar 2 as a daily driver (coming out of an F80 M3)...
As a new Polestar 2 owner great to see it on the Nürburgring ❤️. I still love hitting the back roads with my R32, but I've been surprised how much I'm enjoying the Polestar. Great video, Great fun! Thank you.
I made my final decision to acquire my '23 P2 PPP after watching this video. The one tested here was at 408hp and my '23 is 467hp. I absolutely love my P2 which has FAR exceeded my expectations! Is it perfect? No! But it's pretty darn close. Is it the fastest? No! But it's hot-damn fast! I haven't met a gas car that can take it. It's sure-footed like a cat... so well balanced. And for a Swedish brand, it sure screams American Muscle in it's looks and performance. Excellent job, Polestar! Looking forward to the P4! :) :) :) :)
I'll be honest I've never really gotten the EV idea, personally I've thought they've only been made to fulfill the moral ideals (ie, fuel economy save the planet). But now I see with Polestar and also the Tesla "lap record" more companies are trying to make them to be fun and enjoyable it may slowly start to tip the balance towards more people going for them as going concerns for track toys. I for one would definitely like to see a prepared track version of each type to show what 'could' be done
The biggest difficulty is the rate at which they burn energy. It’s possible to have a really fast lap time, but it’s not possible to race for 2 hours. To do both will be the ‘holy grail’ for EVs.
@@hughmarcus1 To be honest, to charge a battery from 10-80% can be done in 10-15 minutes, and in Nordschleife races the pitstops are not much faster than that anyway, so what difference would it make? Maybe it'd still be an issue running one single battery and recharghing it for so long, I don't know.

I for one would definitely like to see a prepared track version of each type to show what 'could' be done
The biggest difficulty is the rate at which they burn energy. It’s possible to have a really fast lap time, but it’s not possible to race for 2 hours. To do both will be the ‘holy grail’ for EVs.
@@hughmarcus1 To be honest, to charge a battery from 10-80% can be done in 10-15 minutes, and in Nordschleife races the pitstops are not much faster than that anyway, so what difference would it make? Maybe it'd still be an issue running one single battery and recharghing it for so long, I don't know.
@@hughmarcus1 Hill Climb/Rally is probably the only format that will work for EVs
Awesome car, awesome passenger, awesome video, Misha.
