I called CS yesterday morning to do some digging and was told that the car was at the dealer, but that we were likely looking at mid to late March now, rather than early March, so I was a bit disappointed. Fast forward to 3.30pm and an email dropped in to say handover dates had been shared in the portal, and I chose next Monday afternoon. So not much notice, and like you, I need to offload the wife’s BMW X3.
Whats the details on the X3!? we're after one as a family car.jason61c said:

Is anyone bothered by the lack of colour available on a number of cars? Tesla obviously, but also this polestar
The Ioniq 5 is another one I recently configured that had the same issue. All shades of grey.
And on the Polestar 2, took the only thing that looked like it had some colour (Midnight), then it didn't allow me any of the interior choices without changing the exterior colour
.
How are you guys getting on with this? I recon there's some bright colours it would look great in.

Probably best ordering it in a standard black and getting it wrapped? I have seen a couple on the forums that have done this.The Ioniq 5 is another one I recently configured that had the same issue. All shades of grey.

Appreciate this isn’t the lease thread, but wondering if anyone car recommend EV leasing sites? And what realistically should I expect to pay per month?
I know people do it, but I've never thought leasing made much sense with the Polestar. It obviously depends on the spec you're happy with, but for me the Plus pack is a must, and as a £4000 option it really pushes up the lease costs.ajap1979 said:

On a 3 year lease you'll pay at least 75% of the option cost over the term, so another £85 a month or so. Increases the monthly payment on a SM car by about 20%.

The same spec as mine on my car scheme is £300pm to upgrade too now and I pay £90!

A Polestar 2 appears to be £850 on a 1+36 for a maintained dual motor car online and that doesn't include insurance.
Still not an amazing deal I might add...

I was about to post about Volvo's being very dull colors too - but they have a track record of some quite shocking color combinations in the past! Mmmm, shame - Polestar, do better....
Ford Mustang Mach-e colors:
And BMW i4 - though not so sure on this color:
11 color options, though 4 are grey and 4 are black or white specifically.
What happened to green? I know you can get both the Mach-e and i4 in green, but its really a deep color that you are most likely not going to notice. I like green, though I think I prefer Portimao Blue the best.

How come the Mach E is available in Polestar Blue but the Polestar isn't?

That was my idea when I got my Polestar 2 in October 2020, but I didn't think a wrap would cost £3.5k+ VAT (best quote) so stuck with black.
Cost of a decent wrap often exceeds that of an optional colour on a car.Plus, from what I gather you're lucky if they last 3 years on daily use.
