agreed, Polestar actually is no longer okay sadly, they were just told that their next year's models weren't going to be authorized to be sold in the US due to the connected technology that they have in them.

They're not planning on fighting it, though. They said they're just gonna withdraw and focus on the European market instead.

Oh no! I didn't know that. I was considering getting a Polestar a few years ago, but ended up getting a BMW instead (an iX, then an i4)

They said they're just gonna withdraw and focus on the European market instead.

Makes sense. In the end, the USA only accounts for around 7.5% of EV sales globally so it doesn't make sense to overindex on US sales when it's much easier for them to sell in other countries.
