Anyone else see this? Just looks like a BST?

On one hand, it would be awesome to have a BST of the 2024 model. On the other hand, I'd probably be pretty pissed if I'd forked out money on a limited BST to then have an improved model the next year....announced weeks after I took ownership. Better and making the car less special. But if it's an orderable trim or something I would consider upgrading.

It is just mudflaps for the BST

I'm hoping for turning on my pixel headlights here in North America...

It's the 2.7 ota update

It's the 2.7 ota update

It’s the recall for the 2.7 OTA update

It’s Polestar replicating the Tesla experience of price reductions and rises after orders have been completed.

I mean, the car in the video is clearly a BST, or at least a car with the BST stripe, painted body cladding, 21" wheels, etc.

I also watched the video a few times, freezing it at the two points you can see the grill, and it doesn't appear to be the MY24 grill.

So, that begs the question, does it have anything to do with the PS2 at all, or is it a clever way to introduce the PS4? Or does it have to do with the PS2, but is some new feature/function? If the latter, what would that really be? I'm reluctant to believe Polestar would use this as the way to announce the activation of Adaptive High Beams for the north American market. And why use the BST for such an announcement?

Maybe it’s the performance upgrade for the bst costing £10k instead…..

A split second after that, you can make out that it appears to be the =<MY23 grill, and then as it rolls up in the profile shot, it appears like that again.

It looks like it may be a MY24 grill but in black for the BST version. Looks flatter than checker grill.

 

[zswickliffe]

Yeah, agree on it being a 24MY grill. I'm apparently bored enough to download the video and go frame by frame. Also, interestingly, the intro frame shows a reflection on the grill under the painted piece which I don't think can happen on the earlier grill

That's possible, but then I go to the early comment you made, which is that current BST owners will, and should be, pissed if that's the case.

 

[nbvolks]

Agreed, the lighting does appear to align with the crease in the top of the new grill. Okay, so I'm convinced by you guys that it is a MY24 grill, and some new BST that will come with the grill in black.

Honestly the BST was too well received by media to not expand on it. But I agree - they shouldn't be making more of a limited edition run. They probably should have planned for the first release to be limited with the ones that follow being different enough to warrant other editions. Kind of like how NISMO used to work with the Z.

 

[ishiyakimo]

I would not be happy if I bought a BST thinking it’s limited as they marketed it. They should of just aim it as a different limit run, like the artic circle car or something.

In all seriousness ,they should start selling the springs and strut bars to performance pack cars separately.

I'd take a black colored grille on a white or gray car. The same body color is awful for the 24s.

 

[kyledag500]

I really hope it’s the “2024 limited edition” car - not called the BST, and with a few differentiators. Would be cool to see a new limited model every year.

 

[natman316]

Guessing its a BST type special edition but with new motors and battery. Man I am GLAD I passed on the OG BST now. It would have been 2 weeks old at this point before they teased a new one LOL
