Volvo's electric performance brand Polestar is unveiling a battery-powered compact car touted as a rival to Tesla's Model 3.
The Polestar 2 is a five-door vehicle with a panoramic glass roof, an all-vegan interior and a battery with enough capacity to drive 500 kilometers under European tests for range measurement, or 275 miles under U.S. testing rules.
With 408 horsepower, it should accelerate from zero to 100 kph (0-62 mph) in under five seconds. Polestar said Wednesday that the car's U.S. price for the launch version will be $55,500 after tax incentives; later a lower-priced version with less range is envisioned.
The car, to be shown at next month's Geneva auto show, becomes available in 2020.
Volvo Car Group, headquartered in Goteborg, Sweden, is a subsidiary of Chinese automaker Geely.

Definitely
Pretty much everybody builds in China.
It’s the largest vehicle market.
Volvo did open a billion dollar + plant is S. Carolina last year.
The electric Polestar 2. Lets’s call it the e-Polestar 2. Why? Because spelled backwards its “2 rats elope”.
Beards of course can also be distinguished and “gentlemanly”, in contrast to both of those groups above (millennials and Duck Dynasty types). Most millennial guys look like sissies with or without beards.
Couldn’t care less, VOLVO produces crap cars.
Wow! A coal-powered car that goes 275 whole miles before you have to stop and plug it in for hours to recharge. That sounds great!
Does anyone know how to do math anymore? Just askin...
So that package would add what to your vehicle expense? $200,000 or so?
Are the beards suppose to make them “tough looking” or something?
