Seems pretty clear that for the US, Polestar is targeting LRSM buyers

Which makes sense, because in the US you have to compete on range alone. Even if no one buys that model, you can still advertise it.

I wonder if this is a result of their contract with LG - that they have to buy a certain amount of their batteries, which they sourced through some date or total amount.
And once they get through their contractual obligations, then they'll switch to the newer battery.

Given the LRSM is pitched as the range-y option, then I guess it makes sense for that spec to get the larger capacity and faster charging variant.

I'm now sincerely considering trading in for the LRSM once y'all post how well it all works in the real world....

Agreed. My concern would be that the new 205KW max charging might not be very significant if the charging curve is even steeper than before.

I wonder if the RWD models will have a bigger frunk.

Just specced a SRSM with the same equipment as mine. It ends up at 90 000nok more (roughly 9000USD). It tips it above the tax - limit in Norway for EVs. Also, no charging cables included? Has that been the norm in other markets? I got one type 2 and one schuko included when I bought mine. I’m still happy with keeping my MY23 SRSM!

Wonder if they'll bother to design the key fob this time!

Sounds like a sport key, normal key and digital key. Same as todays version.

I only got a normal key, digital key and activity key. This sounds like you'll get 2 normal keys, a digital key (if plus pack is selected) and the activity key is optional.

That's how I read it as well.

I stand corrected. After reading the post one more time I agree with your post 👍
