Carlist Thoughts
It’s hard not to compare the Polestar 3 to the Tesla Model X given their similar pricing in the luxury electric SUV segment. While the Polestar 3’s 0-60 mph times of 4.7-5.0 seconds are much slower than the Model X, its premium interior looks is quite refine. That said, the Model X’s exotic falcon-wing doors give it an undeniably unique factor. Either way, we have more options now and maybe this will push Tesla and others to be better.
