Polestar EV on display at Montgomery Mall in Bethesda (Photos)


Tesla has been a prominent presence at Westfield Montgomery Mall in Bethesda for many years now. Competitor Polestar, which counts Volvo among its ownership team, is muscling in on Elon with a holiday display. The Polestar 3 (sounds a lot like Model 3) is described as "the SUV that drives like a sports car" (sounds a lot like Model X and Y). Depending which variant you buy, the Polestar 3 comes with up to 517 horsepower, and 350 miles of range. You can arrange a test drive by using a QR code at the display, but you can also use this link.

Polestar’s ultimate beneficial owner is Zhejiang Geely of the PRC. There are other EV options more aligned with US consumers’ interests.

1:18 absolutely spot on. Will be 'interesting times' watching future purchasers' regret.

So I assume all of your clothes and electronics are made by American union laborers? NO? Crazy! Go check and see where your car was actually built, you'll be surprised. Polestar 3 is made in South Carolina: https://media.polestar.com/global/en/media/pressreleases/683156/the-first-polestar-manufactured-in-the-usa-production-of-polestar-3-starts-in-south-carolina

7:38: Since you ask, my wardrobe is produced largely in Vietnam, Malaysia, the U.S., and at select bespoke tailors in London and Aberdeen. I am confident these clothes cannot be bricked (or remotely operated to cause mayhem) should the US become involved in a conflict with these countries.
