Polestar 2 production begins

We’ve made a big deal out of milestones before. That’s to be expected. We’re a part of the automotive industry, though the relationship is complicated, and milestones are very popular here. But this is a big one.

Polestar 2 production has started.

Despite numerous setbacks, unforeseen circumstances, and the sheer logistical challenge of getting production of our first all-electric vehicle up and running, it has indeed begun.

This is significant for a few reasons. Firstly, Polestar 2 is no longer a fleet of prototypes at various stages of completion. It’s a fully realised car ready to be delivered to customers. Secondly, the countdown to those deliveries has officially begun. The first handovers are slated to occur in the summer of 2020. And last but certainly not least, we’re that much closer to our goal of getting as many drivers as possible behind the wheel of a Polestar 2.

Celebrating milestones is a bit of a cliché. But this is a big one. And it deserves to be celebrated.

It’s that time of the year—the time to reflect, evaluate, and celebrate what’s been and what’s to come. Here’s a look back at another action-packed year in the Polestar universe.

From Concept to Car: Keeping cool

A new car needs to stand up to the elements. Not just rain, snow, and wind, but harsh cold and blazing sunshine too. With drivers all over the world looking to Polestar for their next EV, each and every car with the star on its nose needs to perform flawlessly no matter what the elements throw at them. Performance can’t be left down to sheer luck. Testing — and more testing — is the only way to make sure a car performs the way Polestar wants it to every time.

Beyond the Road: Stan Gorton

We’re back again with the sixth installation of Polestar’s Beyond the Road content series, where we meet Polestar owners from all around the world. For this episode, we head down under to Australia to meet Stan Gorton, a journalist and environmentalist who lives on the aptly named Kangaroo Island: a small, picturesque haven off the coast of South Australia. With his four-legged friend Twiggy by his side, we get an insight into what life is like going 100% electric in this remote part of the world.
