Take a look at the Polestar 4. It’s one of the few EV’s where the designer did not try to draw a set of lips on the front.

Review here: (Love Sara Greenwood!) Very interesting EV
I like Polestar, but there's still not a single retailer in my state. Now that I got on the Tesla bandwagon and live with it and use FSD daily, Polestar isn't getting a second consideration from me unfortunately.
I really like supporting US manufacturing too, though I'll say for Polestar that they make some beautiful vehicles. I loved their initial hybrid they made. The Polestar 1 basically just looked like the Volvo roots it came from, but it's just gorgeous.

The Polestar 1 was a limited edition “halo” car - about $150,000 retail, I think - but reviews on it were great.
Polestar 2 was ugly. Plebian.
Polestar 3 is good looking and was on our short list of potential new cars last year. Volvo XC90 Plug In Hybrid won out.
Polestar 4 is good looking, as well - hope it does well.
We are having a Tesla Charger installed at our new house next week. It’s for the PHEV, but with a 60 amp service, it’s intended to support a future EV.
Now, once I get solar installed, I can follow in the big footsteps of @JeffKeryk

Nice looking cars, but what a stupid name.
Polestar was the tuning branch of Volvo, so they just broke it off from Volvo to make EVs. The name makes sense for racing, not so much as a standalone brand that isn't a performance brand. I think they really missed an opportunity not building wildly fast versions.
Have you thought about the new Rivian R2? It is getting good reviews. Will be interested to see how it sells.

The Polestar 5 is out. I think it's very nice looking. It definitely looks better than the Taycan.

It looks good, but I absolutely love the Taycan. I don't think there's a better looking EV available than the Taycan.The Polestar 5 is out. I think it's very nice looking. It definitely looks better than the Taycan.

I'll take mine as a Cross Turismo in green.

I definitely prefer the Cross Turismo to the standard body. Very nice color as well.
I get Lada Neva vibes or Fiat Panda from it.I'm looking forward to the R3X if it ever happens.
My neighbor's drop dead gorgeous Taycan...
I could see that. I definitely see 80's hatchback in it like Hyundai did with the Ioniq 5.
How much is this car? Did I see $140K ? Sheesh.The Polestar 5 is out. I think it's very nice looking. It definitely looks better than the Taycan.

I was very surprised by the pricing as well, but it's inline with Taycan. Not sure what will happen with US availability due to tariffs. I'm sure depreciation will do its thing.
I'm really thrown by these insanely expensive EVs. Yes, they're cool but they can't be selling that well. Ys and 3s are everywhere at their price point.
