Having driven a Polestar 2 (by Volvo) and a tesla I have to agree. The Polestar was miles (heh) ahead in terms of build quality, interior and polish. The only reason I did not buy the Polestar outright is their still low range. I see that gap closing very quick in the next 3-5 years.

That's hypothetical though. If I needed to replace my car with an electric today, the only game in town is Tesla and even that would be a painful slowdown for my semi-regular roadtrip (13h according to Google Maps + 2h40m of charging according to Tesla's trip planner).

BTW: That trip planner is showing me some serious money savings on fuel... Ah, that's because they assume that charging costs $0/kWh and fuel costs $4/l ($15 per gallon).

Use ABRP, a better route planner. Free and has both better time and money estimates.

You should drive Lucid Air
