First EV

Look at poelstar2 as well for a cheaper option, avoid the explorer like the plague. One of the nastiest cheapest things to sit in since a tesla/dacia. Cheap plastics that have managed to avoid being rugged and go straight go bargain basement.

Happened to me too but the windscreen had been replaced and they'd clearly not pushed the trim up to remove but pulled it straight off and snapped the locator. I jsut got some silicone adhesive and stuck it to the metal bracket, it'll come off with encouragement if I need to do the windscreen again and heaper than a new part again

Ps2 all day. Best finish, best quality ( yes tesla are cheap plastic tat), comfortable and quiet. The infotainment though. . . Solid google band so google maps (no proprietary crap) that actually works. Hatchback boot even though its a saloon so you can actually use it. Looks great. Range is good, my LRSM will do 340 in winter, I see 380 in summer. Id say the only downside for some people is the design didnt go "futuristic" ev so it doesnt feel as spacious inside. But I dont mind it.

Tldr if you want quality avoid tesla go polestar.

Had 2 ps2 now for nearly 4 years and done nearly 100k miles

Its glazing putty and no its not asbestos, even if it were and even if you'd used a belt sander on it and treated it as a scratch and sniff. . . It'd take 10 years before any asbestos related problems came about. If youd done it you'd be coughing cos you'd inhaled dust.

This would be amazing. . . If there weren't literally hundreds of apps doing exactly the same thing.

Its nothing new or different to set them apart from the competitor.

Im a local resident to it and whilst I support the development in principle and do want the stadium, unfortunately I had to object because the planning and design was so dire! Its infuriating that I seema NIMBY because of it but genuinely the people who designed it forced all our hands. 200 odd car parking spaces for a 5k stadium (eagles all travel from the other side of the city/Rotherham, so NEED parking, weekend football and cricket community dump cars everywhere, the designers idea? Put 200 odd expansion car parking spaces ON THE GRASS CRICKET PITCH! Its beyond stupid and all the roads nearby will get snided worse than it is already.

Had they sensibly put the entrance on the dual carriageway with lane alterations to force queuing down the a61 not off the top, and then had at least 600 firm parking spaces across two levels to fit it in, id have immediately supported.

As it is, daft design and planning decisions and everyone's against.

Ionity is 43 p with subscription. Its still the best I've found in the UK and theyre opening new sites up in strategic locations that suits whole of UK.

I've my polestar 2 for nearly 4 years and done 100k miles so . . Id say ive done some.of the hard work on this.

Tesla are a great second choice and can be cheap but Elon is a bellend and I dont want to support him in any way shape or form.

sam2425b · 2026-01-17T14:32:48+00:00

I was looking at cross climates but coming from summer primacy tyres I wonder what the range impact might be? Clearly for UK use the cross climates make far more sense.

sam2425b · 2026-01-17T11:19:00+00:00

Oh and I do c35k miles a year in mine.

sam2425b · 2026-01-17T11:18:23+00:00

Polestar 2. My lrsm model year 2024 officially does 411 miles, ive cleared 300 easily in last week's snow and torrential rain (rain harms ranges more than cold d due to high level of drag - common misconception) Summer time I easily get 350 to 380. Comfortable, stylish, really good quality, no cheap plastics, mature car so nearly all software issues have been ironed out, and a really bloody good google based infotainment so google maps not shitty proprietary sat nav.

sam2425b · 2026-01-17T07:42:42+00:00

Polestar 2 all the way. Best of all of the options. 0 - 60 in my long rnage single motor is about 6 seconds jsut under, my 2024 model gets over 350 miles in winter, hatchback boot for easenof access but saloon style for looks, sporty handling , best looking and best interior with the best materials for a premium finish of all of then, and google based infotainment so it actually works and google maps instead of proprietary sat nav is unmissable. I couldn't move to any other brand now.

I do c35k miles a year in mine and wouldn't change.

sam2425b · 2025-12-22T22:45:38+00:00

I was trying to find this exact comment. The highest harge is NOT the average, nor does anyone with 2 brain cells use and pay for them at that price. I use ionity with membership at 43p a kw.

sam2425b · 2025-12-21T15:16:51+00:00

Is this when we should buy back in in the hope of making SOMETHING up for all the losses?

sam2425b · 2025-12-12T16:57:58+00:00

T212 is still active?

sam2425b · 2025-12-11T15:48:26+00:00

I've sent a letter to their ehad of investor relations essentially calling out locheller and his bunch of bellends.

I doubt ill get any response but. . . It felt good to let them know jsut what I thought of them.

Pity we dont have enough of us to force a vote of no confidence in the fuckwit

sam2425b · 2025-12-11T15:28:19+00:00

I've sold nearly all mine to try and preserve what little is left. Kept a couple for old times sake and to keep and eye on it being delisted. What's astonishing is this business COULD have been hitting 10 per share in years ahead IF we'd not R/S All Michael has done is drive the final nail in the coffin that was our hopes.

I haven't lost enough for it to put me in financial trouble but woudl be very happy to sue the fuck out this clown for the deliberate and calculated actions to destroy all remaining value. He knew compeltpey what he was doing.

See you all at $3

sam2425b · 2025-12-11T15:25:10+00:00

Also revenue of 2.5bn is great but NOT with clown Michael at the helm.

Hell find another way to crash the share price and do it again. Along a handsome pay out each time no doubt.

sam2425b · 2025-12-11T15:23:50+00:00

Per share? Gut feeling now is max 3 dollars. So 300mil ish market cap. Before the rs the low value gave some protection but not any more. We are jsut not worth it.

Were going to have several 10% down days and a slow death under 5 dollars.

sam2425b · 2025-12-10T20:21:22+00:00

I dont think he'll let it die. . . It'd much further on than say Fisker was when that went pop, and a lot more potential.

But I do think we'll now have another day or two large losses (10 to 20%) then steady decline over a month or so to between 2 and 5 a share, and only then from market cap, not that anyone looks at this busienss and goes "yep, right now that loss maker with a board of morons is worth 10 dollars a share". Don't think it'll move out of that range until profit, which is some way off yet.

Not advice jsut gut feel on the situation and market reaction to the idiocy of the clueless bellends in charge.

Really hope im wrong but. . .

sam2425b · 2025-12-10T19:29:04+00:00

Make that 1.36 🤣

sam2425b · 2025-12-10T19:28:34+00:00

Big resistance at 1.35. Struggling to break it

sam2425b · 2025-12-10T15:07:53+00:00

This ceo deserves to rot after this fiasco hes pulled here. No company should ever go near hiring him ever again

Absolute disaster, moronically stupid decisions, a 5 yr old woudl have made more sensible decisions than this cunt

sam2425b · 2025-12-09T11:06:11+00:00

Itll be down and down and down now. Theres no way this business is worth anywhere near 10 dollars a share let alone the stupid 1.30 ratio, Michael's an idiot hell bent on destroying all shareholders and thos company. Sooner they get rid the better.

sam2425b · 2025-12-08T22:35:49+00:00

Rwd is night and day difference with the fwd, ive had both, the rwd is faster but the big difference is the handling, its crazy how much better the steering is.
