Anyone getting one shortly?

Hi, seems like a nice vehicle would love to test drive one day Everyone seems to compare it to the Model 3 Tesla.

I've put in a $500 expression of interest for one, but I'm also under contract for an XC40 Recharge. Not quite decided on which one I prefer at this stage...

Hi there - had a brief 1hr look around and test-drive of one in December - wrote it up as a 'first impressions' article for TheDriven here:
https://thedriven.io/2021/12/22/polesta ... pressions/
(BTW: ignore the headline saying the 2WD is rear-wheel drive - in two-wheel drive form it is front-wheel drive. The editors made that blunder, not me!)

Am getting one for an extended test-drive sometime early 2022. Will write a more comprehensive report then.

Cheers
Bryce

Thanks Bryce for the run down. This is on the short list if we have to replace our Ioniq.

I do and don't like the pack options keeps them simple but things you may not want necessitate choosing the whole pack. I don't under stand why Blind spot monitoring is an option in a pack that I dont really want anything else and I would want a heat pump but not necessarily the panoramic roof.

Thanks.

And another "froot" supporter, too! I do hate the way the term "frunk" is creeping into Australian usage, since it's very obviously based on the ultra-American term "trunk".

I drove the AWD dual motor version with performance pack a couple of weeks ago on the Gold Coast and I'm sold. I've put a reservation in so will wait and see how this lottery plays out!

I'm actually totally happy with my 2020 Ioniq but I want to be able to pull a camper trailer and the Ioniq isn't rated for towing here. The P2 can tow 1500kg.

I have my order confirmed. Long range single motor with Plus and Pilot packs. It's a preconfigured model so should be here in 8 weeks, though I don't have an actual confirmed delivery date yet.

I am in Perth, I signed up for one, supposedly getting it sometime towards end of March. If anyone else is on this forum who is in Perth and buying a Polestar please let me know as good to swap notes when we eventually get to drive it.

Mine is due first week of May but the date has already slipped a couple of weeks so we'll see.

There are a few Perthites(?) on https://www.polestar-forum.com/ (and lots of chatter in https://www.polestar-forum.com/threads/ ... date.4917/)

Left rear charge port good for aus

Unlike bmw, mini, merc, Audi, BYD Atto 3. All on right side.

[Mooch]

Same spot as my Ioniq and there is only one charger I can think of where I need to park on the white line in order to plug in.

Test drive in Chatswood NSW last Tuesday. Ordered preconfigured LRSM with Pilot pack on Friday. Indicated delivery mid May.

[Fraz]

Yes! I have a LRSM. I'm active on the Facebook Polestar Australia group too (as Fraser).

I picked it up just before a New Years camping trip to Girraween! Got it christened by gravel dust, and charged it in Warwick to get an extra 15% each way. It was perfect! I've covered about 1500km so far. More impressed than I was expecting.
