“Manufacturing Polestar 3 in the USA is a crucial step for us,” Ingenlath said at the event. “Now we offer customers in America an electric SUV that is built in America.”

The Polestar 3 is the brand’s first EV built on two continents. After production kicked off in China in April, Polestar’s electric SUV is now being made in the US. Polestar plans to export Polestar 3 models to Europe, which will “strengthen our business on a broader scope,” according to Ingenlath.

Polestar calls its new model “The performance SUV for the electric age.” The electric SUV fuses its signature Scandinavian design with advanced software and powertrain tech.

Starting at $73,400 in the US, the Polestar 3 gets up to 315 miles EPA-est range. It can also fast charge (10% to 80%) in 30 mins to get you back on the road quickly.

    I look forward to buying one of these used for like 20k. People are going to lose a fortune on resale value.

      Yep, can’t get cheap and reliable new, so we have to buy used luxury vehicles that aren’t reliable because everything in America caters to the wealthiest and we fight over their scraps.

      We’re doing shit completely backwards if the goal is to actually help the planet.

      How many Americans even think about a brand new car, let alone one over 70k?
