Polestar 2

Love everything about this except the rear end, cant decide if its an abomination or its awesome. Absolutely packed full of awesome tech, the headlights in particular are unreal, has this ever been done before by another manufacturer? Was about to order a Model 3 Performance but might wait the extra couple of months for this.

One of the most complete electric cars money can buy. Decent build quality, and easy to drive

That headlight tech isn’t new - see below. They are variations in the arrangement of the LEDs but it isn’t new tech

Having driven a Range Rover with it, it is absolutely fantastic

Ah, didn't realise the LR ones were the same. Mate had to replace one of his Velar LED headlights there, was £2500.

Yep - my new X5 has very similar technology and it's amazing.

That Volvo looks fantastic.

they do some top rate stuff tuning /tarting up volvos (assuming it's the same company) so that bus is bound to go well.

LR have matrix (just vertical) and pixel (vertical and horizontal)
Yeah it’s great tech but very expensive

Like that! Atleast it'll have decent build quality over the Tesla. Hope they don't put EVERYTHING into the infotainment like Tesla

Still a good few buttons and stalks. Heater controls are done through the screen.

Yea its the same company, well, same brand.

Saw it in the flesh at the Geneva Motor Show earlier this year. Fantastic car!

Really like that. I do enjoy the somewhat banterful side of tesla though!

Re the lights the Mercedes version does all kind of funky stuff in addition to the other vehicle recognition stuff.
