Did The Polestar 2 Just Challenge The Tesla Model 3"
Polestar will reveal their next model at the Geneva International Motor Show.
The Polestar 2 will compete with other high performance EVs, including the Tesla Model 3.Â
BOOM! That sound you heard was a huge warning shot right across the bow of Elon Musk’s yacht. To quote directly from Polestar: “Polestar 2 is the first electric car to compete in the marketplace around the Tesla Model 3, with the range starting at a guide price of 39,900 euros.”
You best get your ducks in a row Elon. First Audi poses a challenge, now the latest from Polestar.

Polestar is also, much like Porsche’s upcoming Taycan, getting into electric vehicles in a big way. And this is a good thing, unless your name is Elon Musk. Teslas are, for all intents and purposes, good cars, but they have also had it kind of easy. Who has been competing against them" The Nissan Leaf" The Chevy Bolt" Please. Now the big guns like Porsche and Audi, and in our case here, Polestar, are taking them on and doing it in no half measure.
The Polestar 2 is an all-electric fastback that hopes to bring electric performance cars to a broader audience. And, with a list price around $45,500, that puts it right in Tesla Model 3 territory. Even more importantly, that figure won’t break the bank for the average performa...
