I hope some of the "startups" stick around because the Polestar 2 we bought last year is the best car I've ever owned, and when we go to replace our second car it will be a Polestar 3.
- nradov 4y agoPolestar is a Geely brand, which is about as far from being a "startup" as you can get. Much of the underlying technology is shared across the Geely portfolio and they've been a global EV leader for some time.

- postexitus 4y agoPolestar is not really a startup though, is it? Without the expertise of car building, those "startups" have little chance of success, and Polestar is a good example of combining startup-like mindset with production know-how and capability of an established manufacturer.

- postexitus 4y agoNo, they have the production facilities, network and know-how of Volvo. Most startup have nothing like that.
