Swedish: 
Too much talking, let's drive.
You're driving?
The key!
The cars are very different.
The driving experience is totally different.
Stuffing them in there?
Hold him! Keep him away!
They'll be upset if I close this hatch.
900-1 000 kilos, so this is a better tow car.
Don't look at me. What about the tires?
- How is the interior?
- Completely hopeless.
Polestar is built in China.
---! Why can't they...
- Go!
- It's got better acceleration.
Welcome to another episode of
"Sense and Sensibility". A fantastic show.
- The battle of Tesla against Polestar.
- The world's most sold electric car.
- And the Swedish/Chinese...
- The world's most Swedish electric car.

Swedish: 
- That's true.
- Even though it's half Chinese.
- It's owned by a Chinese company.
- But the main office is in Sweden.
- We'll call it Swedish.
- It's built in the USA, China and Germany.
This one's all built in China.
This will be a battle of Polestar
with the performance package
against a Tesla without that package. Why?
Because they have almost the same horsepower,
so they're even.
For the same money, you can have this with
the performance package, which is way faster.
Then it's faster.
But the same horsepower will show
how good the chassis are and so on.
Too much talking, let's drive.
Let's start with that one.
- On our home track. Great.
- ÖsWe Ring. Let's drive. You're driving?

English: 
You start holding your breath.
It's possible to provoke it a bit, but...
It's very easy to drive. It's the most
forgiving car we've driven here.
- That means...
- Don't drive on those kerbs!
- No, that wasn't the kerbs!
- Concrete is flying everywhere!
Oh, dear god in heaven! It's incredible!
- I'm just trying to provoke it. You have to.
- Yes, of course.
- It's my job to provoke cars.
- It's your job to provoke.
- Cars, you mean? You're provoking to people.
- Great job, Polestar.
The car feels... You know the saying
that a car goes like an iron.

Swedish: 
- This one does. It's very heavy and stable.
- It's a good time, too. It's in the top 3.
- It's very fast.
- There are only two Porsches above it.
Onto the Tesla.
We're in the Tesla Model 3.
It's in track mode and it has a nice G meter.
This is track mode 2, the upgraded version.
Tesla are always upgrading everything.
You can divert power to the front or rear
wheels. You can use drift mode to be cool.
- Drift mode?
- It lets the wheels spin, so you can skid.
What's your first impression,
compared to the Polestar?

English: 
The first impression of the Polestar was
that the track wasn't its comfort zone.
But you can have a lot of fun
messing with all the settings.
Let's see if drift mode is engaged.
Around, and on the throttle...
No. Annoying.
There are too many buttons and crap
in these cars. For real.
It's annoying. You always mess around with
the electric cars. You screw up the system.
- You make me so mad!
- You have to mess around with the system.
- Tap key card and press brake to drive...
- Do we have a card?
Well, that's his public transport card.
Is it supposed to be like this, Alrik?
Just drive.

English: 
- We don't have a key for the car.
- I can't take much more of this...
The key!
It's not really a comfortable ride.
It needs bucket seats.
It's not really a track mode car.
Why put that mode in a non-track car?
Do you get me?
- It's supposed to drift easily.
- It can't do it now, as you can tell.
- We're in the regular Polestar long-range...
- Are you sure this is a Polestar?
We're in the Tesla, which is non-performance.
It has about 50 bhp more than the Polestar.
- This has 50 bhp more than the Polestar?
- Tesla always keep their stats secret.

Swedish: 
But it has a bit more power
and it's definitely lighter.
- It's more of a fair comparison, because...
- Well, performance wise, it is.
The same price, except the performance
version of the Polestar is more expensive.
This one feels lighter, can you feel it?
It moves around with more ease.
It's annoying not to have support for your
right leg when you're driving actively.
- You need support.
- Don't you have a lot of leg muscles?
I'm trying to say something sensible
and you're trashing me.
It's not like a regular car.
The seats are very soft and give no support.
The performance version is just the same.
It doesn't have any more support.
It feels like this responds quicker,
doesn't it?

- It's not as...
- It doesn't let the horsepower go.
- I feel like it responds quicker to input.
- I don't know...
- Driving. Sports.
- Sports. Sports. Sports.
- Do you want standard or sports steering?
- Leave it like it was.
- Is the sports mode on now?
- Yes.
A map, so we can navigate.
Ready, set, go!
- Oh, it's pulling!
- It does better starts than the Polestar.
Yes, it does. I'm holding the wheel weirdly,
but it still works.
Come on!
- It's holding itself back.
- It has a throttle delay.

English: 
There's a lot of power that isn't coming out.
For a second it says: "Do you really want to
hit the throttle so hard, you idiot?"
The performance version
has a lot more settings.
You can set the power distribution
and how much anti-spin you want to have.
This is standard... Whoa, am I sleeping?
Set, go! Okay. There.
I have to say that
it's hard to drive it fast, in a way.
There's no support in it.
No support for your legs and so on.
The chassis feels softer,
like it leans a bit more.
The Polestar's suspension
feels a little more rigid.

English: 
That was really stupid.
Not a good line and it's understeering a lot.
- It's not a record.
- No, it's not.
- 44.59.
- One second slower with the same bhp.
It must be the tires.
We have to check what tires it has.
I think the Polestar has sportier tires
with more grip.
- The chassis holds it together better.
- I'll drive a bit to cool the brakes down.
- The Polestar has more chassis control.
- I enjoyed the ride more in the Polestar.
But... I don't know.
This feels... The legs flap around.
There's no... What's this?
There's less driver focus,
but faster reactions.

English: 
The steering is quicker.
It has less turns between full locks.
- It understeers more at the same speed.
- Which is strange.
It has the batteries mounted lower.
A lower car should be better.
Yes, but I didn't think so.
Why are you looking at me?
You wanted to say something about the tires.
We're driving the performance version.
The performance version has 20 inch wheels.
They're 245/40R20.
You have to explain. People will ask
why we're driving the performance Polestar
against the regular Tesla Model 3.
They have the same bhp,
but this is more expensive.
The performance version of the Tesla
costs as much as this. What do you want?

But these have the same horsepower.
You can choose the same horsepower
or the same price. We chose horsepower.
We're comparing performance and chassis.
But these tires are 18 inches.
Right?
235/45R18. Not as much rubber.
The Polestar has a handling advantage.
And braking.
Bodil and Svullo,
will they fit in the Polestar 2?
Let's demonstrate. Yes, exactly.
They're so eager to go for a ride.
They're used to being left behind.
- There's room for them and the groceries.
- Try closing the hatch.
Duck, Bodil.

- Put the dog in there!
- It's very big.
- Put the dog in there.
- And close the hatch?
- Let's try this.
- We'll do this. Hold the big guy.
- Hold him back! Keep him away!
- Easy! You'll get to go!
The Tesla isn't made for dogs.
It's a regular sedan hatch,
even though it looks like a hatchback.
- He's so strong.
- He really wants to ride the Tesla.
- He's more keen than you are.
- But it has an extra compartment.
We can put the dog in it.
Let's put you in there.
He really wants to join. Here, take him.

Okay, let's try both of them.
Let's see.
There you go. Great.
It doesn't look as comfortable.
They'll be upset if I try to close the hatch.
I think so, too. Let's not try it.
You need the Model Y for a...
We're testing the Model 3.
You can also get a BMW X7
or a Mercedes Maybach.
We're testing the Model 3
and it failed the dog test.
Oh, you get that, do you?
We have to get a bigger car. Get out.
Are you lying down? Did you like that
compartment? You need to go on a diet.

Swedish: 
We're doing a very important comparison.
The front hatches.
Alrik, this can just about hold the cable.
- Not a lot of room. This fits something.
- What if the cables get wet?
It has a bit of room. This is way bigger.
- The Tesla has better storage.
- It wins that battle.
- The front is a bit Porsche like.
- Don't compare it to a Porsche.
This is a bit more Saab. Strong and stable.
It's cool that they made
an unnecessary grill.
- Tesla won that practical comparison.
- This is way worse on the Tesla.
- The handles are horrible.
- How did they come up with those?

Those are way better.
- Porsche's were also difficult.
- But these are good.
- To the storage battle.
- My dogs fit. They're my standard.
No problems. High, very good. Great.
And this is good for grocery bags.
A good Volvo idea.
There's more room in here.
It has a lot of space.
It has about 100 liters less space in total.
But this is better.
Exactly. If we look over here.
My dogs can't sit in here.
Of course not. It's like a Fritzl basement.
- You can by the Model Y, which is coming.
- It's not Polestar versus Model Y.
- It's Polestar versus Model 3.
-But it would work in that one.

This disqualifies the car for me
and all other dog owners.
Unless you really dislike your dog.
Then, you can put it in here.
Both cars have very bad rear visibility.
The rear window is very small.
- Let's check the backseats as well.
- Yes. I like this flange.
- Performance...
- Get in.
There. I think the legs stick up quite far.
The legs stick up quite far
and I can't put my feet under the seat.
I can, pretty well.
The seat is quite comfortable.
- The seating position isn't very good.
- I have to re-evaluate my previous score.

Is it that bad? Were you expecting a limo?
I thought this was like the S,
that it was a hatchback.
It looks like a hatchback, but it isn't.
Let's try the backseat of the Polestar, too.
The Volvo backseat.
Let's get in.
Whoa, there's a camera here.
I want to sit in it, too.
- It's so short.
- It's more cramped. This is smaller.
I didn't think so. The feet fit better,
but you feel more shut in this way.
Yes. This backseat is more cramped.
What a surprise. It's a higher position.
You can see through the windshield better.
And through the glass ceiling.
It's nice...
There's not a lot of resistance in the wheel.

- Is it, really? You're just imagining.
- We've already discussed the interior.
- It's better than...
Why did you give me the vegan car?
Didn't they have a carnivore car?
- Do you not feel like you...
- Does it feel like a Volvo?
- Will Volvo V90 owners buy this instead?
- If you don't need a station wagon, sure.
What if you have an S60?
It's big enough for a small family.
It's not a station wagon. It's not big.
The same car will exist as the XC40 Recharge.
- What does "Recharge" mean?
- The electrical XC40 is the same as this.

So Polestar and Volvo will both make
electric cars. How can you tell them apart?
- All manufacturers will make electric cars.
- But how will they differentiate them?
- What is Polestars profile?
- They're sportier and more avant garde.
- There. How did that feel? It packs a punch.
- Of course it does.
"Thanks to natural language recognition
Polestar 2 is the first car
that really understands you."
Is that from Polestar's press release?
- Did it understand you?
- No.
I'm against voice activation.
It almost never works.
One of the selling points is that it's
the first one with the Android system

Hey, Google. I'm sweating.
The website 1177.se says:
The most common reason

It makes your palms and soles sweat.

- Me too.
- Overactive sweat glands.
- Now we know what's wrong with you.
- Can it control any car functions?
- Okay, Google. Lower the car temperature.
- Lowering the temperature by two degrees.
- Great.
- You have to say the right thing.
- How do you know what's right and wrong?
It didn't understand why you're sweating.
Hey, Google. Can you play some pop music?

- Me too.
- Overactive sweat glands.
- Now we know what's wrong with you.
- Can it control any car functions?
- Okay, Google. Lower the car temperature.
- Lowering the temperature by two degrees.
- Great.
- You have to say the right thing.
- How do you know what's right and wrong?
It didn't understand why you're sweating.
Hey, Google. Can you play some pop music?

English: 
- Okay, what app do you want to use?
- I don't give a damn.
- Spotify.
- I'm sorry, which app?
- Absolutely, playing pop through Spotify.
- Here it comes.
This will be interesting. Why did I say pop?
- Because you love pop.
- That sucks.
There it is.
Pop music. Pop music.
So the song is called "Pop Music".
We'll be slapped with a copyright suit.
Stop the music! Google, stop the music!
- Stop it, Google!
- Okay, Google. Stop the music.
You have to understand it.
It doesn't understand you, I understand it.
- It understands me better than you.
- You're more particular with language.

We're in the Model 3. I think...
I like the entertainment center more.
This car feels more hi-tech.
Tesla have gotten further
in the technological development.
I really don't like
the dashboard and the wheel
but the screen is better.
The screen and the driving assists.
Why the --- can't they just...
It's weird that they release their car later
and aren't at least as good.
I agree. They all seem flabbergasted,
even though they shouldn't be.
- They are.
- Tesla has been around for 130 years.
- A little over 10.
- We almost crashed.
- What do you think of the wheel?
- I like it. It's nice.

English: 
It's a good size, it's sturdy to hold.
You learn all the buttons with time.
I would prefer a speedo
or a heads-up display.
Tesla will try to...
We were in some kind of vegan seats
in the Polestar.
These seats are softer.
They give better comfort.
This almost has better comfort,
even though it's the performance edition.
- They are made for comfort, not performance.
- On the track, you slid all over the place.
This car does not belong on a track.
Why make a performance car with
a completely flat seat? It's so stupid.
- And you couldn't change the setting?
- No, nothing.
- How bad is the interior to you?
- Completely hopeless.
- Why is the steering so heavy?
- You can change the setting.

Swedish: 
Driving. Comfort steering mode.
There.
- Why would you use anything else?
- I agree. It doesn't need sports steering.
- It's bad. You don't get a feel for the car.
- And the car brakes for you.
- It's set to low. You want the fossil feel.
- I want normal brakes.
"What would make you buy an electric car?"
- A really good price.
- As usual.
What it would take? Not a lot.
I could definitely buy an electric car.
I've ordered one. The weird Tesla.
But I'm not a fan. I don't like that they
try to make them sporty, when they aren't.
I don't like that this car
has nothing up here.

Swedish: 
You have to look down here to see the
indicators, the speedo... Nothing in front.
"But you get such a clear view."
I see well enough in a regular car.
- "What happens when you get in a Tesla?"
- I collapse and become a bit shorter.
- Like this.
- You lose your self-confidence? That's sad.
Let's see. Cecilia A asks:
"Are electric cars unsexy?"
Yes. They think they are sexy,
so they aren't.
There's nothing sexy about this. It's ugly.
I think it has some Porsche vibes. The front.
The front has a bit of... And it's darn fast.
Yes, but it does nothing for me.
The annoying thing is that I think
this is my favorite out of the two.
- It pains me a bit.
- Your Swedish heart.
I would want Polestar or anyone
to challenge Tesla properly.

English: 
Tesla seems to make the best electric cars.
Alrik, are Polestar better than Tesla?
- I don't think so.
- Is anything better about the Polestar?
It feels more like a normal car,
if that's what you want.
It feels a bit more dependable,
comfortable and easier to digest.
This one demands an open mind.
You have to embrace the novelties. This is an
electric car, the Polestar is a normal car.
The Polestar is a better normal car.
This has better range,
it's faster and more fun to drive.
Alrik, what would make you pick a Polestar
over a Tesla?
- Right now.
- A better price.

English: 
Is the price that much better?
If the price was way lower,
I would buy the Polestar. It's a nice driver.
So if this one is 68 000 Euro, what price
would make you pick the Polestar?
If it was 10 000 Euro cheaper,
I would definitely buy the Polestar.
But as it stands, this is faster
and more fun to drive for the same price.
Let's try to figure out
which one we like the best.
The Polestar was quite a lot faster
than the regular Tesla.
But we can probably assume that
the performance Tesla is faster than this.
Right. For the same money,
you can get a faster Tesla.
But gaining time is not everything.
Which one would you choose?
Okay, you can choose between this,
that or the performance version of that.

Swedish: 
I'll take the performance version.
Out of the three,
you pick the Tesla performance...
It's a more developed electric car,
it has better range and a charging network.
For a trip through Europe, it's far superior.
This one uses more power
and doesn't have a built-up charging network.
I like that this will get faster
and use less power.
Just like Tesla, they can download new
software. I like that. They're getting there.
Tell me what you like better about
the Polestar. You've done the Tesla.
The comfort is better
without the performance shocks.
It's quieter and more comfortable.
It feels more well put together.
It feels more like a normal, proper car.
The Tesla feels a bit tatty.

English: 
I'd pick the Polestar. One reason is obvious.
I can't get the wolves in the Tesla. Why
make it look like a hatchback when it isn't?
It should be a hatchback. It should.
I can't stand the Tesla's steering wheel.
I think it's just silly.
- This feels more genuine.
- It feels more like a traditional car.
The way I use a car, it doesn't matter.
I go to the supermarket and the gym.
I agree, this will be quite enough
for 99 percent of all people.
So, I would pick the Polestar.
But I don't know if I'm quite ready
for an electric car yet.
- No... I like hybrids.
- You do? Should we test one?
I would pick this,
because it's so much faster.

Swedish: 
I get the kick from the way it pulls.
You can change the settings for drifting,
power distribution.
- How useful is that?
- It's more of a sporty toy.
It's all digital. Play a video game instead.
Let's play video games sometime.
It's great that we chose different cars.
Get in your Tesla, I'll get in this.
I'll see you some other week.
We... That's it. That'll have to do. Bye.
