Polestar hasn’t had an easy ride. The company bet big on the made-in-China Polestar 2, only for Biden-era tariffs to crush that dream. Its next product, the Polestar 3, arrived with half-baked software that dulled our enthusiasm.
Now the Polestar 4 is here, and while it’s great, its rear-window-less fastback roof makes it a niche player. The brand needs some high-volume heroes. And now, it looks like it’s going to build them.
