Looks nice! Anyone with the original BST should still be happy, the handling is probably very similar with more power available.
Buying the BST as an investment was always a stretch because too similar to the standard lineup. If you are able to get a BST now (or later) you are still very fortunate person.

Agreed, in the UK at least the Lotus Eletre is £5k more than a performance P3 and has another 130bhp and in my view seems a lot more special.

I can see a decent spec electric Macan being P3 money as well...

Yeah, I'm curious how pricing for the Eletre is going to pan out here in the US. If it's that close to the Polestar 3, then I may go for it, simply to have some lively coloring. I mean, hello!!!

Hot Polestar 2 teased ahead of debut

We're promised 'something thrilling' for March 21st - expect much gold

The 21” black diamond wheels showed up in the Polestar Fun site showing an August delivery date and two colors of Space and “Nebula”:

If you go to one of these Spaces and look at the Pre-Configured Polestar 2, they do show up and cause the official Polestar website some indigestion.

​

Something's not right.

Shows as '23 model year.

Also....for the love of GOD Polestar, please do not offer another special edition where the only interior option is black!!!!!!

 

[Polarbear]

This seems very strange…

Could it be some sort of to much 23 stock and how to get rid of it plan?!
Put BST rims and wrap on them and sell as BST light sort of? But no other BST part, just dress up ordinary unsold PP?

But that dont go with the fact that there is 24 front on the teaser…

Could do both on the other hand…

Despite all the talk about the BST being a one-off run, its success probably means that Polestar have found their M/AMG division. Little doubt that this is an updated BST, or that we’ll see a similarly tuned version of Polestar 3 and every other new model, too.

I hear you, the funny things is that in my mind Polestar is the M/AMG division of Volvo. Them doing their own power division would detract from the brand in my opinion.

But that is the bottom end Eletre. When I spec my version it is more like £95K difference The Eletre is cool, but it needs a few options.

It's March 21st...

 

[gadgeTT]

It's March 21st...

(not in the US it isn't ;-) )

 

[P2TO]

It's March 21st...

In Australia?

 

[Polarbear]

In 10 hours it hits Sweden…
What timezone is the polestar in?

 

[nbvolks]

In Australia?

Exactly. I was just joking that it's March 21st somewhere.

I was playing around on the Polestar website and noticed under the "Available cars" option you can see a little info on the new BST .
Filter on the color "nebula" and it shows a car you can deposit on for August delivery. Has the stripe and is $79,900 with destination charge

Looked at a couple of locations and they all have the same car.

Anyone willing put the $1k down to see what happens?

 

[BadTrainDriver]

I'm not seeing this on any retailer. Can you snapshot it?

 

[P2TO]

Nebula

 

[ishiyakimo]

Prob a special colour similar to Volvo's Sage Green

From what I hear, very limited number of these additional BSTs will be made available. It's disappointing that they are releasing more BSTs since that slightly diminishes the value of each until, but fingers crossed that this new green version does have a limited allocation. I got the Battleship Grey wrap with stripe on my BST, but this green version would have been my preference if originally available. I've had my BST for five days now and I find I'm enjoying it more each time I drive it. It really feels like an electric go-kart and it handles like it's on rails. Most of the time it feels like a 3200 pound car, not 4800! The roads in SoCal have been pretty wet since delivery so I haven't pushed it beyond 6/10, so we'll have to see how well it acquits itself of the weight when pushed a bit harder.

Ah....so Nebula is Volvo's Sage Green. In that case, we've seen this car before at some press events and at the HQ.
