Currently in an EV6 gt line s RWD.
Option for its replacement are:
2024 model 3 (highland) dual motor long range done 11k miles
2025 polestar 2 LRSM with plus and pilot pack done 3k miles
2025 polestar 4 LRSM with 5k miles.
All have about 2 years warranty left and cost to change is about the same
I do about 13k miles per year, mainly motorways but live rural. No kids to transport, couple of European trips a year.
At the moment I m leaning towards the Polestar 2 but what s the PH hive mind thoughts?

I can't get over the width of the Polestar 4, at over 2m without mirrors; not sure if that would be awkward on your rural roads, or not. I feel I'd want a definite reason to have such a big car (such as carrying three rear passengers).
If you regularly do longer trips > 250 miles or so I guess the Model 3 range, efficiency and charging network would be useful; under that it probably makes little odds. The Model 3 is of course a four-door saloon, so less practical.
I have a pre-facelift Polestar 2 LRDM Plus Pilot and like it a lot; it does similar duties to those you outline including a road trip to Vienna & Zurich last summer. The comfortable seats, quietness and ACC make long trips unstressful, and the Google maps seem good at finding chargers.
(Edit: middle option confirmed as Polestar 2)

Model 3 dual motor or pref Performance.
It's a decent drive and a lot lighter than the other two, not too wide and super efficient (means per mile it charges faster). It will also not cause you any range anxiety or any silly charging issues which are so beloved of the anti EV brigade/convoy or whatever they call themselves these days.
I get that the interior is not to everyone's tastes, but it gets the basics right in a way that is still weirdly rare.
