Yeah, I have been around for a little while and been fortunate to work for a couple of brands.
This is a positive experience.
It's really lovely to work inside a brand where everyone in the brand working for the brand is very passionate about not just the cars, but the cause that it represents as well.
The position that Polestar takes on sustainability, its positioning as a performance luxury brand.
It's very serious business inside Polestar and I really enjoy it.
Our styling is quite minimalistic and it doesn't scream Polestar.
I still have that today.
I drive a Polestar 3 and on occasions I'll walk back to my car to find two or three curious onlookers staring at it and they say the same thing.
What is that exactly?
Well, it's a Polestar.
They're understated and I think that goes over really, really nicely.
Let me make it really easy for you.
It's very, very simple.
The cars are numbered quite simply in the order that they came out and were released.
Well, that makes sense.
Yeah, but there's a stick.
So we started the whole thing with Polestar 2, which has been a really fantastic car, and it's had some really great updates.
We switched that car from front-wheel drive to rear-wheel drive partway through its life cycle and did it successfully as well.
So Polestar 2 is a smaller car.
It's like a coupe.
