Polestar’s first electric SUV, the Polestar 3, is expected to begin rolling out in the US in the next few months. Ahead of its debut, Polestar is already offering a massive $7,500 purchase incentive on a lease of the new electric SUV.

The Polestar 3 will join the Polestar 2 as the brand’s second all-electric model. Nearly 55,000 Polestar 2 sedans were sold last year, but the company expects its electric SUV to make an even bigger impact.

Although production was expected to begin in early 2023, Polestar pushed it back until the first quarter of this year. Polestar’s website suggests deliveries will begin in the second quarter.

Starts at $84k with 300 mile range. Every article should just start with those stats.

If you want something cheaper the polestar 2 starts at 49k with 320 miles of range.

That's closer! I'm (excitedly) waiting for the day to get a new EV at around 20-25k and 100 miles range. Until then, I'll probably ride my 2016 Nissan Leaf into the ground. It still gets 75 miles, which is good enough for almost everything.

Volvo ex-30 will be cheap. Do note that all polestars and volvo ex-30 are currently made in China. Eventually, the ex-30 will be made in Belgium though.

$20k-$25k for any new car is pretty hard to come by these days.

You should keep you eye on hertz used cars, they are dumping loads of basically new EVs for around 25k.

Blows my mind that a (technically) Chinese-made EV would be that overpriced.

A Model X is cheaper.. starts at $80k with 335 mile range.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

Is that Tesla's advertised range or the actual range?

How do you get a purchase incentive with a lease?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

Make cars $20k again

$7,500 purchase incentive on a lease

What? It's either a lease or a purchase, it can't be both.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Leases have buyout clauses attached to them. I assume it means they will take 7500 off your buyout price after lease is up.
