Show me your Polestar.

[Milzy]

In September her indoors will be allowed to lease the nicer Cars on salary sacrifice. We both agree the future is electric & like the Polestar. It looks a bit bland in black but all the other colours seem really nice.
I think it’s the next best thing to a Model 3 but IMO looks far better. Post your Polestar pics.

It's a proper good tax dodge the salary sacrifice scheme - leccy cars only ?

good luck in getting one delivered in under 9 months

They are about the fugliest things on the roads IMO...looks like something from the USA in the 80s!

(maybe you like that sort of thing)

You can have I/C if you do wish but paying more out for it because it’s not green.

Love that sort of thing. Retro looks modern technology. Gorgeous.

Strange materials used in the interiors - - that are hard to clean.

Friend has one of the 'cheap' £50k ones not the £140k beast.

defo take a Polestar over a Tesla for a whole heap of reasons.

They don't do an estate though, so if I went electric, I'd go V60 hybrid.

Electric cars aren't 'green'.
It's a lie that's swallowed by virtue signalling tree huggers.

Salary sacrifice for me reduces my pension so not tempted......

140k? Blimey I would not have guessed anywhere near that. Now where's that thread about "what has priced out of your budget...."
Back to the Polestar though: I like the shape. I think I usually see them in white. Never seen the interior though.

They most certainly are green, sir. I would rather ride behind it than any carbon-fueled car.
(Although I do understand what you mean, I think they are not green as far as the entire globe is concerned, but they are green at a local level - ie, in front of me!)

Talking to a service engineer that popped in, he was driving a Volvo estate, 19 plate, looked quite nice. He said he'd been waiting 18 months for a VW EV, just keeps getting put back...and back.
Mostly he was looking forward to the tax reduction from around £300 to £30 (i assume he meant monthly)

They ain't the world saver everybody thinks they are. If you buy one, thinking that you are doing your bit to save the planet, then you've swallowed the hype regarding their 'greenness'.
I'll stick with my 17 year old diesel - it's carbon footprint is probably far lower than a new Tesla.
