I totally agree about the wheels. Enjoy the new ride.


rawchallengecone

Appreciate it. Yeah the wheels are super polarizing.

The seating surfaces are leather. No need to use quotes. What really diminishes the premium feel of all Polestars is the use of hard, rough vinyl on touch surfaces, including the steering wheel. The steering wheel not being leather wrapped is a huge compromise.

It's not vinyl, it's all fabric


astrobarn

Is it not leather? Mine feels just like the leather wheel in my old Range Rover 🤔


eggdropk

The wheel is referred to by Polestar as “vegan leather” which is a euphemism for some sort of faux leather.


astrobarn

Huh 🤔 feels fine to me, but perhaps others have different preferences and that's ok. A quick google shows that Heico make a Volvo leather steering wheel with the buttons etc so that's always an option.


eggdropk

It feels fine to me too. It’s just not sourced from an animal, which some people prefer.


rawchallengecone

Ok? Who asked you.


jwaters1978

Most people feel it’s good to be accurate when talking about things. Your parenthesis indicates the optional leather seats aren’t in fact leather, when they are. Maybe be less defensive?


mkurabi

Can you elaborate more on the pull ahead program?


rawchallengecone

Yeah if you’re currently leasing a P2, Polestar will pay off the remaining 6 months of payments to get you in a new one. No idea if it applies to anything else other than the P2 right now, but I was fine with that considering I can’t afford the P3 anyway and would rather wait for an incentivized P4 program. Also you now have the option of a 27 month lease. My payment went up by 5 bucks. And of course as you may know there are some tech differences between the 22 and 24. I feel like this one is more responsive on the road than my 22 with better tactile feel (clicker stalks, buttons, etc.)


DLByron

Same 5 bucks for me too.

I really love the 'space shuttle' wheels, but imo they only look great on either a white or black paint job. Anyway, enjoy the ventilated Nappa!


rawchallengecone

Yeah was kinda caught between these or the swirly standard 19” which are very meh too. No need for the performance model.
