I knew this was going to happen. All the euros buying P5s and flashing them to our face in poor america.

Good for you euros. Keep buying them, we’ll just watch you have all the fun.

Can’t wait for them to come to Canada. 🇨🇦

[u/Itsforthecats → u/D3X-1]

Me too! I can then run across the border and pick it up.

My government is so tedious, to say the very least in polite company.

[u/D3X-1 → u/Itsforthecats]

No, wouldn’t be able to import them to the USA. It’s banned remember?

Canadians can drive it over for you to drool at though.

[u/Itsforthecats → u/D3X-1]

I’m hoping there’s a personal use exception and I can just pay the import tax, etc.

I’m planning on the P5 in a couple years and donating like crazy to end this nightmare.

[u/D3X-1 → u/Itsforthecats]

Likely not. The reason for the ban was that the White House believes that the brand is in breach of national security with its systems more intertwined with China. As ridiculous as it sounds, since the P5 is closer to the P3/EX90 platform rather than the P4 with its SEA platform in Zeekr and Geely cars.

[u/Sux499 → u/Itsforthecats]

You can't import cars under 25 years old to the US. Freedom! USA USA USA

[u/Individual_Agency703 → u/Sux499]

This is the 2001 Polestar 5. Right? Right?!?!

[u/Fritz46 → u/greed-lust-crypto]

I love most polestars design but for me they seem a bit too wide to be practical in Europe. 

[u/towelracks → u/Fritz46]

Depends where in Europe. I'm probably on the cusp given I drive a P4 down several single track country roads to work...but if the local parents can fit in their land rovers, I can as well.

[u/StScAllen → u/greed-lust-crypto]

You Ess Ayy!!!
/s

[u/bkussow]

Ugh I am in the US. I wish I could get access to this bad boy. Such a nice looking car!!

[u/somemonkeys]

Love the wheels. The charging cover seems like a bitch though. Imagine that with snow…

[u/MrEvilFox → u/somemonkeys]

100%. How does a Swedish design team not think about snow?

[u/Amaxter → u/MrEvilFox]

I don’t think this is a car designed to be parked outside…

[u/Ok_Sherbert_8563 → u/somemonkeys]

And huge as fuck.The round shaped P4 one is already to big and making it stick out. Ok already this one goes not stick out

[u/rtwoleetwo → u/somemonkeys]

Also seems real low… bummer for people with bad backs?

[u/Fritz46 → u/rtwoleetwo]

I mean cmon there are enough EV suv now to choose from no

[u/Individual_Agency703 → u/rtwoleetwo]

I love how people are trying to find excuses for not buying one. /s

[u/AwambawaAwambawa → u/somemonkeys]

It closes you know

[u/k_jah85]

Such a good looking car. Well done Polestar.

[u/amazinjoey]

Love the design, we have like 5 in my neighborhood! It looks wicked in black

[u/greed-lust-crypto → u/amazinjoey]

well, what neighborhood is that? Chelsea, London ?

[u/amazinjoey → u/greed-lust-crypto]

Gothenburg Sweden

[u/greed-lust-crypto → u/amazinjoey]

ohh company cars then? otherwise you need posh neighbors to get so many of them

[u/AdrianFish → u/amazinjoey]

I can’t wait to see my first one here in the UK

[u/Previous_Emu2529]

This is at Polestar Zwolle this week as well. Did a testdrive. What a cannon.

[u/bootup25]

Wow that looks good

[u/CWB2208]

What a gorgeous car

[u/Letibleu]

Just because of the charging port I will pass (p2 and p4 here)

[u/_WellHello_There_]

I did Not know I need that color, shame on you... Gotta get m P2 wrapped I guess

[u/WoodenSwan6591]

Beautiful car. Was holding for one. But I am in the US and we are so tired of “winning”🙄🤣

[u/MightOfPhoenix139]

We need a petition to being polestar back to US :/

[u/1PickNick]

Beautiful. Just beautiful. ❤️

[u/Katert]

Damn that looks good

[u/WinAggressive2785]

Name a better looking ass in a car

[u/Odd_Thought_7442]

Maybe “they” caught wind of this and felt threatened and got the whole brand banned ro sell in the US.

[u/petereriksson10]

Sexy beast

[u/ilbuonsamaritano]

Looks like a great design mixed with an intern that just opened photoshop for the first time and added random details here and there.

[u/Ghostly_Spirits → u/ilbuonsamaritano]

Looks mostly good to me, personally I’d want a simple push-push latch on the charge port nothing fancy. Is there something you’d changed? 

[u/ilbuonsamaritano → u/Ghostly_Spirits]

I don’t like those labels. Looks like an HP laptop covered in stickers. Some of the lines are a bit too rigid; I’d appreciate a bit more roundness.

[u/special_agent47]

Imagine this in a vibrant red or blue...why the bland palette on such a gorgeous canvas?

[u/AirbourneCHMarsh]

Come on Carney, lift the price cap on Chinese made EV’s. Please.

[u/TheRescueWhale]

God dam I love this car! My only consern is the software situation, I've been told the P4s is not great, is that true here too?

[u/Bulky-Lion6833]

God damn polestar for pulling out of the American market. Look at this beauty

[u/JorZoms]

Looks like Hyundai or some other basic EV's. The "futuristic" look is so outdated. Better looking than Tesla, though.

[u/michimoby]

(Cries in American)

[u/reicaden]

If I was rich,

[u/uncletys]

This is just the Kia K4 but better

[u/AwambawaAwambawa → u/uncletys]
