Polestar 2 experiences
Discussion
I have the option to take a car instead of an allowamce through work and of course an EV it has to be for the BIK benefits.
Lots of people tell me the Tesla 3 is the best and to get that, but I hate it. Its fuggly and I don't like the centre only screen.
Anyway I really like the look of the Polestar 2. Anyone have one and any thoughts on it? There is no dealer nearby so can't go an see one.
Particularly interested in headroom. I'm 6'5" and want to be comfortable.
Any must have trim levels or options? Feel like the Plus trim is worth it for the better stereo etc.

My only coment would be about charging. Tesla has the best charging network by far, so if you're looking at big miles, it's easy with a Tesla. They also seem to be cheaper. There are more general chargers appearing, but not in the numbers you will find with Tesla. One of my guys has a Tesla M3 and loves it. I'm not a Tesla fan and just bought a V60 T8 PHEV (hence browsing the Volvo sub-forum).
It will mostly be bobbing around town and we have loads of public charging points round here. Plus home charging.The nearest Tesla supercharger is on the motorway so won't be much use to me.
Thanks all, unfortunately I've got the list of options from HR and while the P2 is on there the annual lease cost is a chunk over my allowance. I can go over the allowance and dip into salary, but I want to avoid that.
Shame, really like the look of the 2. In a world full of fugly Teslas it's a good looking motor.

Have you investigated taking the allowance and salary sacrifice? The tax saving could make it more affordable overall than a business lease depending on salary.
The company are pretty rigid on their offering and don't have an EV sacrifice plan currently. It's take the money or put it towards a car.There are plenty of other options available within budget, just that the Polestar is a bit more expensive. A lot of the lease costs are a bit confusing. There are 2 Lexus that have a P11D value a good chunk about the Polestar but at a lower annual lease cost, for example.
