Oh don’t get me wrong, I test drove the Polestar 2 and liked it—miles better interior than the Model 3—but them being made in China was a deal breaker. I’m trying to buy less things made in China and dropping $60k on a Chinese vehicle doesn’t really fit that goal. Plus the shady software as you mention.
Here in Europe we can get Teslas assembled in China. Plenty of Tesla fans here have told me to get one from China because they are of way better quality than the ones assembled in the US.
Oh, the software isn't Chinese at all. You can trust me on that one. Source: I don't work for Volvo anymore, but I've authored both Volvo and Polestar 2 code, some of it in the latest 2.10 update.
