POLESTAR 2 LEASE DEAL IS HERE BUT NOT FOR LONG! PLUS EVEN MORE PERKS FOR COSTCO MEMBERS

EV Channels Review

This episode of the Out of Spec Podcast delves into the compelling lease offers for the 2024 Polestar 2, highlighting a $299/month deal for 27 months with $3,000 down, bolstered by a $10,000 Polestar Clean Vehicle Incentive. A significant perk for Costco members offers an additional $2,000 off eligible Polestar 2 models purchased or leased by July 31, 2024, provided they were Costco members by April 30, 2024. The hosts discuss the Polestar 2's unique position as a sporty, tech-forward alternative to mainstream EVs, comparing its size and practicality to the Tesla Model 3 and Model Y. While praising its distinct design, Google integration, and performance, the reviewer notes ergonomic compromises like limited cup holder access and a driver-focused cockpit. The discussion also touches on the complexities of the EV market, including depreciation, federal tax credits for used EVs, and the impact of US tariffs on Chinese-made vehicles, suggesting that while current inventory deals are attractive, future implications remain uncertain. The hosts recommend considering the latest model year for efficiency and battery improvements, while also noting the value in well-maintained used models.
