    Yeah nobody beats then on range per euro, but luckily a lot of people think there’s more to a car than just that. They are also known for very confrontational customer service and refusing to even comment when confronted by the media.

    We went with the Polestar 2 and Cupra Born.
    The i4 m50 is also a cool option in the same-ish price range.
    EX90 is the «dream» car, but it’s too costly. Maybe a used Polestar 3 in the future. It’s the same platform, just a bit smaller.

    EX90 is built in the US for western markets, China for Asia.
    I5 and EQE in Germany for western markets, China for Asia.

      In China, a customer who complained about their quality got sued by them and now owes them a huge amount of money. For talking about something that was a factual issue.

      Huh, I thought the Polestar 2 was a lot more than it apparently is. I thought it was near EX90 pricing.

      Yeah I agree, I want more from a car than just efficiency and power. Most cars I’ve owned, the interior is genuinely a nice place to be. The marques so far (and there have been multiple of some) have included Audi, BMW, MB, one Porsche, a Chrysler and now a Subaru. Minus the one MB that I got preowned at 3 years, they’ve all been over a decade old, yet they’ve felt pretty damn nice to sit in. The Chrysler (300M, not to be confused with 300 or 300C) and the Porsche (well optioned Cayenne S 955) felt pretty special I’d even say. Those two cars are the ones I miss the most, but their fuel economy stings hard. Admittedly the Chrysler with its V6 and 4 speed auto was still less thirsty than the Subaru.
