Positive Review
We fell in love with the P3 during a test drive when we were doing an early lease turn in for our P2, which we also loved. But the P3 is a whole new level of luxury and performance, as well as beta tester software glitches. The screens are easy to navigate, but numerous in scope. When you need to use the center menu for car functions, the car will remind you not to be distracted by using the menu. In the first couple hundred miles, the glove box refused to close (it's controlled through the dashboard screen), the alarm went off randomly when sitting in the garage (you have to activate a "low sensitivity" setting every time you park), my Google phone works intermittently (iPhone seems to work better in a Google-powered car), among other little glitches. With all this going on, I got a NACS L3 charging adapter in anticipation of an L2 onboard charger failure (a common problem with the P3). Despite this, we're happy with our P3 lease, have no regrets, and look forward to the free upcoming Orin chip upgrade that fixes some of the bugs. In the US, the new chips are just now starting to trickle in so I'm assuming it's still months away.

2025 Polestar 3 is not a vehicle. It is a beautiful sculpture that we make lease payments on, which is stored by McDonald Volvo Cars of Littleton, while we drive a gas powered econocar rental from Hertz.

Amazing to drive, probably the most attractive SUV-wagon on the market, reasonably long range, incredibly quiet/serene interior
Software isn't ready for prime time

Literally traded in our Model Y and went through all the paperwork just to drive the car down 2 blocks and have a critical drivetrain malfunction. We were lucky to be close enough to crawl at 5mph back into the dealer. Thank god they were able to reverse all the paperwork for us and get our car back.
