How many times can you slam a car door before it breaks? In our latest episode of 'From Concept to Car,' we meet the team responsible for breaking things. Julian Cantwell and his team build rigs designed to replicate the wear and tear a customer might put their vehicle through — including the infamous Angry Partner Test. "Our end goal is really about durability and robustness. That's essentially what we are trying to achieve. My job is basically to break as much stuff as possible."

Polestar 4 is officially on the roads in Europe, with initial deliveries to customers in Sweden, Norway, and Germany, and more markets to follow soon. This achievement highlights our growth and global expansion, as Polestar 2, Polestar 3, and now Polestar 4 make their mark across Europe. We're also preparing for Polestar 4 production to start in South Korea in 2025, which will further enhance our ability to deliver this SUV coupé worldwide. Thomas Ingenlath, CEO of Polestar, says: "With Polestar 3 on the road since summer, this is the next important milestone for us in 2024 as we make our first European deliveries of Polestar 4 and offer our customers even more choice.

What a week here in the US. We kicked off with the production start of Polestar 3 in Ridgeville, South Carolina. Now, Polestar Concept BST has made its North American debut, first at our Marin Space, then at the Pebble Beach Concourse D’elegance. It’s perhaps a surprisingly “loud” design for Polestar, but with Concept BST I wanted to give a clear statement that performance is part of our Brand and Design DNA. We want to bridge new electric drivetrain tech with the marvelous sports car culture. That’s why we are here today with Concept BST on the Concept Car Lawn.    But not only that: Hundreds of visitors have had the pleasure of test-driving our Polestar 3 around the Pebble Beach area this weekend, with many, many more already booked in to do the same in the coming days and weeks, at our growing number of Polestar Spaces.

Polestar 4 is now available for test drive in select markets. Experience the virtual rear window, spacious interior, and sporty drive in real life. Book yours via the link: https://lnkd.in/diP69tEX #Polestar4 #PolestarCars

Polestar 3. Manufactured in the USA Our SUV for the electric age has begun rolling off the production line in South Carolina, USA.
