I own a Polestar 2 last week and I just love this car and the whole company. For me the best EV out there. Thanks for your videos.
Thanks for posting. It makes me feel a little better about trying a road trip in my Polestar.
Not much happening on this Christmas day, so I am 45 minutes into your video😁 We've had snow and cold for the past week, so I haven’t even been to the garage to sit in mine. Should be able to drive it next week. I know it does well in the snow, but it’s so clean that I don’t want to get it dirty😊
Awesome trip! The Google Maps integration seems pretty nice with the charging stops.
I’m amazed how accurate it is in all weather conditions. It’s gotten even more accurate since this trip.
38:31 is V-22 Osprey plane. Military plane that takes off like helicopter.
Thanks for clearing that up!
Wow thats a big trip in that car! Incredible
I was truly surprised how much I liked road tripping the Polestar 2!
What you should do is take a roudtrip in Scandinavia, you would love it!
That is definitely on the bucket list!
I really enjoy your videos. I traveled a lot of this same route on my way back from Santa Fe enroute to central Alabama back in June. I have a 2021 ID.4.
The hotel with the four free L2 chargers was great! Best practice is for hotels to ditch the idea of pay-for-charging and just include the electrons as part of the room. I will make hotel reservations solely on charging availability. Hotels need to wise up and install ever more chargers 'cuz otherwise they're losing out.
I agree. The amount of money they make is a joke relative to the whole hotel. Also units that allow hotels to charge are far more expensive than just installing some durable clipper creeks and Tesla destination chargers.
Taco Hell or the Hut, that's a devil's choice for sure. We need more food options at charging stations! Most EA are in food deserts. So nice when you have a choice besides "nothing" or low quality fast food.
I would like to see some sit down places open up since we have more time than needing fast food
@@EVMotoring Exactly! Somewhere to kill 20-30 min and get a decent meal. Best EA I've been to had a Panda Express next door. Not fantastic, but definitely better than McD's.
@@johnb.1712 I would love to see family restaurants and coffee shops/bakeries
The plane was a V-22 Osprey. So a new military aircraft. Also, just FYI because it is a difficult name, but 2 Cum Carey for Tucumcari. Grew up inAmarillo and traveling the 1-40 and 287 corridor alot.
Thanks for this and sorry I struggle with some of these cities/towns I’ve never been to
Thanks for the video. We’re must speed were you driving and were you using AC or heat? How did they affect your efficiency?
Definitely using AC since it was over 100 degrees. Efficiency got better and I left AZ and NM since the temps dropped and AC usage dropped as well
Did 4200kms in a 69kWh Polestar with family to Southern Spain and back! Through Switzerland/Western Alps too. Charging not always as smooth as you organised it. But "family"! Could have been better organised by me. Still, no big problems, although google sometimes did some strange recommendations. Need to integrate ABRP into google better. My issue is I want ionity chargers and I don't want any detours to reach them. Near impossible to get a route planner to understand this without manual editing.
Google was great for finding overnights on the spot though! Really fun to ask it to find a place and get a list, with telephone numbers, prices, everything!
I agree. Google has given some odd suggestions so I’ve had to google the electrify America station sometimes since I want complementary charging. My VW ID4 did the same thing.
Big problem with non tesla vehicles is the charging infrastructure that sucks bad.
It’s weird that only one cup holder can be used when the armrest is down, but if solo driving it may not be too much of an issue.
It's an odd design choice for sure. A little WFTish. I'm a single dude, so it’s not really an issue for me, but it would be annoying on a road trip with a friend
I usually have a water and a coffee so I’m 1 short always
@@EVMotoring at this point idk what to get. The polestar might be a Hail Mary because the purchasing process is straightforward. But I might have to ass a pack if I want blind spot warning. Oh well
They will redesign the center console next year, per polestar, too many complaints
@@tonyn3227 I look forward to testing and comparing the updates!
I heard Volvo/Polestar has a rather small bottom buffer. This is good for those who want to just go a little further, but probably not so good for battery longevity if you're frequently going under 10%. VW group EVs really prioritizes battery life above all else - my Audi defaults to 80% charge for daily use unless you deliberately increase it or am doing a road trip via navigation.
I saw another channel (Bjorn something) get 12 miles after 0 and it still hadn’t died completely. And I’ve seen another YTer claim getting 12 miles after 0. Is it normal to have a bigger buffer than that? That seems pretty big to me 🤷♂️
Would you recommend Polestar 2021 (used) or the 2022 model has much better charging etc? Thanks.
Polestar has very heavy discounts on 23’s on their website (link below) a dealer has my 22 for sale for $37k
@EVMotoring can u tell the dealer city? Their website is not super easy to navigate? By the way they did not return my phone call so don't know what to do. They have special till July 31 on new ones too.
43.5 plus tax etc for 2023? Or similar price on lease on 2024 model? I don't know if they are decent dealership to deal with for lease? Is 2024 significantly better? Not really?
@EVMotoring for 2023 new will they go below MSRP or that is fixed? They have discount on 2023 new.

Hi~total insane .do you want a promo?-
Aw man, i lost my place when the vids got switched out.
Fry's in Calif. died. They don't exist anymore.
Just FYI. The Fry's grocery stores were bought out by Kroger. Kroger keeps the old names for acquired stores, but when they acquire more than one brand in a state, they use the oldest brand usually. In CA that's Ralph's. In AZ, they bought out Fred Meyer, which prevously had bought out Smith's and Smitties's in the state. Since they already owned Fry's in AZ, they changed them all to Fry's. The electronic store was seperated from the grocery store decades ago.
