Thanks to the help of Quentin @nyclife I secured a solid deal for a Polestar 3. $583/month with first month’s and MSDs due at signing, 27/12k. Quentin responded in a timely manner, and made everything quite straightforward. They definitely get a recommendation from me.
I received the vehicle at a Volvo dealership outside Newark airport, with no complications.
I am enjoying the wool seat material even more than expected; it will certainly be more comfortable in the summertime than the black synthetic leather would have been.
Having charged only one time so far, at a Tesla station using the Volvo-supplied NACS-CCS adapter, I received solid charging performance, ramping right up to 205 kW at 35% SoC. No, it’s nowhere near what Hyundai/Porsche achieve, but will be acceptable.
Not listed in the calculator is the $999 broker fee, which brings the effective cost up $37/month.
Apologies for the mediocre photos; only had it for 2 days before I had to go to work. Will update later.
As always, I appreciate the community.
