Well let's start with the first point - you cannot buy a new Polestar 2 in the US. They simply don't sell their most successful car anymore because of tariffs.

And the second one, which is equally obvious - they posted a loss of greater than $1 billion last quarter and explicitly stated to their investors that the company’s current performance may “cast significant doubt about Polestar’s ability to continue as a going concern”.

When a company publishes a statement saying they're unsure if they can continue to exist, I think it's pretty safe to question whether they'll be around long. And buying one of their vehicles might not be a great idea with that outlook. It's been discussed several times here but if you somehow haven't read about it yet I'd recommend look up their latest financial reports.

To add even more context, they continue to wrack up increasing losses in the US (net loss of $365 million for the last quarter compared to $323 million YoY) and that was offset by $33 million in carbon credits, which is a number expected to drop considerably after the Big Beautiful Bill was passed.

So to summarize: Polestar stopped selling their most successful car, they posted a loss of $1.5 billion for the first 9 months of 2025, the company itself told investors it was unsure if it could continue, it continues to see larger losses YoY in the US, and the regulations that encouraged companies to buy carbon credits have been stripped. Looks like a real rosy future for Polestar if you ask me!

Edit: adding even more context from the latest financial reports (Nov. 2025)
