Not sure that matters. Same can be said for this forum, and MME still might be a good car (it's all speculation at this point). There are hundreds of posts in the Tesla forum for every post here. Literally hundreds of posts already today
Polestar seems really interesting!
They are dammed if they do, dammed if they don't.
To a certain extent that is true, but one choice is more painful long term than the other. They can take the pain once with the unhappy customers who wanted their cars in 2020, or deal with protracted issues with poor quality that hurts their reputation and pisses customers off for much longer. In the case of the former, they can rightly claim the virus as culprit and garner some sympathy and understanding for circumstances clearly beyond their control. The tack they are taking is to hope that rushing into production with improvised planning and reduced staff will go swimmingly. Hope is not a strategy, and it is far more likely that there will be issues. Ford has been in the news with recalls a lot recently, and of course the lawsuit from the dual-clutch transmission. They cannot afford another public embarrassment. In the late 70's and 80's poor quality caused the decline of the american auto industry, and it took a long time to salvage a portion of that lost reputation. It just seems like rushing now is a stupid risk in lieu of a couple of months of delay.
I have not seen coverage anywhere indicating they have been "rushing" into production. Frankly, there is so much behind the scenes that we really don't know.
fair enough.
Polestar 2 on the road price of Ā£49,900 doesn't include PiCG of Ā£3k, so you're looking at increase of Ā£7k to your original BEV budget. If you're lucky, you might also qualify for the Ā£6k trade-in, but suspect you'll need to own the banger for more than a few months. Hopefully find out more on this by 6 July.
