Video Summary
Here's a summary of the YouTube video review of an electric car:The Polestar 4 is being reviewed for a closer look, a decisive year for the brand. 2024 was tumultuous for Polestar; CEO and head of design were lost, two new models came out, one was very delayed. The expectation is that Polestar starts to kick on to prove that it can mature. It is being asked if this car is good enough to start a transition for the brand from "lovable underdog" to a "genuine automotive powerhouse". Or is Polestar destined to become "Saab 2.0," a Swedish brand that could just never make the numbers add up?
A few key findings:
* The exterior styling may be considered awkward. The rear is neither state car, salon, or coupe.
* The key is a slightly nasty piece of plastic.
* The key has no buttons.
* The heated steering wheel gets overly hot, potentially requiring oven gloves.
* Wing mirrors cannot be adjusted with physical controls, which makes parallel parking tricky.
* It tries to be too clever.
* It is one of the finest long distance point-to-point vehicles around.
* It eats up the miles and is completely effortless and immensely capable.
* Long range, and charging is quick.
* Has year-round 300 miles of range.
* For the interior of Polestar 4 Oh yes, it reminds of Kendall Roy's hat.
* Every touch material is vegan and soft to touch.
Sustainability is an important value for Polestar, with the car’s construction resulting in 19.9 tons of CO2 pollution before use. Charging on public chargers for 200,000 miles would add 10 tons of CO2, or zero with a green energy tariff. The pollution created when building the car is more than average because of the batteries.
Is this car leaning towards the Chinese market and is that to the detriment to what Europeans like?
