2023 Polestar 2 drives nice. The app does not work compared to Tesla. The car seat is incomfortable. The electronics in this Electric car clunky at best, and though everything is laid out simple it is unnecessarily complicated. The car the electronics and set up are not intuitive. You can use your phone as a key. But there is no way you can rely on your phone exclusively as a key. Half the time it doesn’t work and you are left not being able to trust or rely on its features . The app is clunky and ineffective and very disappointing. It has Apple CarPlay so that’s a good thing.
I have really thinking about getting one of these so I rented one on a business trip. The first car in the Hertz lot had an issue where the emergency break wouldn’t release. The gave me another one which seemed to work fine, although i could hear a weird clicking noise. Google Maps then wouldn’t work for 2 days until the system seem to reset itself. The key only opens the door half the time when I am standing right next to the car and trying to open the door. The apple car play requires a cord. The seat has a manual title option which is weird since there are seat memory buttons.
The interiors seems to pick up dirt and stains really easily. There is an odd dark spot in the. Middle of the headlights like they aren’t aligned properly. THe back seat leg room is just ok and there is a hump on the back floor which is usually unnecessary for an electric car. The door sounds plastic when you close it and the door locking mechanism sounds cheep. How is this thing getting good reviews. I am really happy I didn’t order one as Tesla and Hyundai products are so much better! I have been wondering if Hertz now has a bunch of these because 2023 Polestar 2 is dumping them on the market?
