Europeans Are Already Claiming New Polestar 2 Is A Tesla Killer

The first driving reviews of the all-electric Polestar 2 have been streaming in from Europe. It will be another month before we get time behind the wheel. The Polestar 2 is the first sporty, long-range, luxury-oriented, EV sedan (not an SUV) to stack up against the Tesla Model 3. Agree with that assessment or not, European reviewers couldn’t resist the comparisons.

The all-electric $60,000 Polestar 2 sedan goes on sale in the US in late summer. It provides 408 horsepower and 487 pound-feet torque in an all-wheel-drive configuration. Its 78-kWh battery pack is expected to offer an estimated (albeit optimistic) 275 miles of range.

Before anything can be a "Tesla Killer" they need to match or exceed their range; until then its Tesla who is killing the competition.
Additionally, for any auto company to be able to compete directly with Tesla they will need to create an EV only brand to have the "It Factor".
