Classic excuse with the noises from service centers. So easy for them to just say "we can't hear it" :/ Nevertheless, good and fun video :)

Using a four bank balance / desulfator circuit (I got mine off of Amazon for pretty cheap) and not discharging them much past the orange LEDs goes a long way to preserving the lead acid batteries, like my second set (four cheap ebay 100Ah AGM batteries) has lasted for years with no sign of needing to be replaced. It's a shame for the price Ryobi didn't do a few simple cheap things like include a battery balance and desulfator circuit stock with the mower and shift the red LEDs up a few percent with a warning on the energy meter not to discharge to red. But yeah, I killed my first set of batteries in two years also! I'm an electronics tech by trade and when I had an issue with the charger (only other problem I've had with the mower besides battery life of the initial set), customer service actually put me in contact with one of their repair guys. After about five minutes of doing voltage checks and general troubleshooting (and being polite goes a long way!) the tech told me he's sending me a new charger. I asked if I needed to send back the original and was told not to worry about it. That great customer service experience has kept me as a Ryobi customer!

Only starting at $33k? When Aptera first launched they were advertising that it was going to be extremely affordable.

did you water test the cooling plates before putting the battery pack together?

I want this but without the motor

Raycon is a synonym for spending all they have on marketing at this point. They should rebrand.

In a world where by 2017 we will "definitely 100%" have full self driving from New York to California, robo taxis that bring in $30k while you sleep, sub $5k 70kWh batteries, 1000 mile range and more, as always, I will believe it when I see it :) What's the real range at 70mph in winter with that resistive heater?

i remember Top Gear reacting to complaints about only driving super cars with a "classic car review" of a Renault Twingo in Belfast. Which is well worth looking up. The complaints came from the opposite direction but the result is as hilarious. But with a higher tunnel section budget

I’m European and don’t own a car. But totally worth a sub just for the comedic commentary/timing and slick jump cuts.

I'm very glad they kept at it. I hope it becomes a durable, viable option for everyday commuting.

77,000 miles in 2 years? What are you doing hauling cargo all day every day all week?

Summary: "Could've saved close to $50 *per day* going with a nice German car rather than a Chinese EV, not to mention 5 hours of charging on every road trip, literally over a month of my life I will never get back, 140 miles realistic range vs 800+ in a diesel, but would buy again because I'm a masochist. A bit like an iPhone, the new one makes your one trash." - you're welcome :) Bonus tip: adaptive cruise control is a must for sanity as you will always be in the slow lane conserving range.

150 real-world miles on a charge for an expensive car. 🤣🤣🤣

Bought my first EV-sorry, leased it-12 years ago. This is nothing new; honestly you should have expected going in you’d be burning money. EVs have horrific resale. I have a model 3 now I only got because of $9500 in tax rebates. It’s a great car but it also will burn up value fast, so I bought the cheapest one Tesla sells.

Depreciation never gets better, it just gets less bad.

Horrible car I rented one. The turn signal sound like ass cheeks getting clapped in bed. It will drive you absolutely insane when you are in traffic.

you must get a lot of punchers with roads like that

So when you were offering a 50% discounts I thought it was for a used Pole Star but I guess it is 75%, so my sympathies to your wallet.

I don’t care , I am tired of being robbed by the pirates who control the petro industry . This concept is not hard to understand. Sun = free energy petro = endless gouging . With time e-cars will reach levels we can’t even imagine . I will never buy a gas vehicle new again

For the clicking under regen, it might be worth taking the axle out and putting anti-seize on the splines. This was a common issues on the Model S.

Best line: “fiscal arsonist.” Use for video otherwise is to reinforce my attachment to our ICE car. Living on the bleeding edge of technology holds no charms for me.

That traction wheel might not last too long normally two tires side. By side might do the trick .

Are you going to "restore"it?Like fix AC,gauges,rust..

70k is like the milage of most prams if pushed around often enough. Even the good-old mik floats had more milage and they had the performance of a mobility scooter

I remember as a kid seen 3 wheelers Saabs, they ran pretty good and had good sales figures, I mean I saw them in Cuba before Fidel destroyed everything.

Look mom half a car !!!

I Burned Money by Buying a Polestar 2... Hey, throwing money down a rat hole is what net zero is all about. But you can sleep nights knowing that your sacrifice is saving the planet.

Lol...great video! 1 point I might make to reduce tire wear is to not Autocross the car! 🤣 We have a 2022 Ioniq5 Ultimate trim, had it since last June 29 we have 55,000km on the clock and by June we will have well over 60,000km(36,000miles) so we are on the same trajectory of mileage. One of the reasons we went with the Hyundai was we have a local dealer just 30 minutes away, unfortunately we have not had to take it in for....anything! Nothing, zero, the car is amazing, we road trip the hell out of it and the cool part is the charging speed is great...maxes out at 240kw so we charge 10-80% in around 18 minutes...which is huge when you are doing 500 - 800km per day. We traded our Kona EV in for this Ioniq5 which we put 48,000 trouble free km on in 10 months and it was a slow charging car so the upgrade to the Ioniq5 was great. I love the look of your Polestar and I have a couple friends of ours that have them and they have pretty much the same issues....but they are an awesome looking car! I just re-read my post and I apologize as it sounds like I am gloating, I am not, just pointing out how much we love our Ioniq5. Cheers! Mike 🇨🇦 Oh and sorry....

Inspirational...

Honestly, the ethos behind this looks like how the future of electric cars should be. As light and efficient as possible. Not the multi ton monsters that are popping up everywhere. I think the big issue's going to be crash compatability because small and light isn't going to be great if it gets hit by a massive truck and it's not like you can replace everything on the road all at once.

OH, NO, NOT THE BUS! NOT THE BUS! AAAAAHHHHH! Nah man, what I want to see on this channel is you enjoying doing things that you're passionate about.

I saw a solo yesterday going the oposite way in a back road near Madison, WI. I was very surprised that then this video popped up in my recommended.... kind of eerie...

Have fun with that Polestar. lol. Glad you got an EV though.

You bought a car for an investment? That’s your problem right there. A car is a tool, nothing more. Use it till it dies, then get a new one.

I had tears in my eyes and I tried three or four times to say “Babys first weld” before I could get it out. This guy absolutely kills me. There are very few things that make me laugh anymore. I’m serious about that. This guy makes me laugh Every time I watch one of his videos. He brings tears to my eyes. Talking about the pieces of crap cars that he buys :-). This man is priceless.

All these posters need to stop with the factor ads. It’s such shitty quality food and after the discounts run out costs as much as the local prepared meal place near me that’s made with wholesome Italian ingredients and family cooking

“You don’t want something you dislike to last too long”… you just explained marriage right there

Nice shout out to Normal, IL. I don’t live there, but live close and have been there countless times. 😊

You’re saving the planet; you can’t measure the good you’re doing with money. What price do you out on the environment?

I'd have one in a heartbeat (if they come to the UK)

That's badass. If I had that Car I'd stick a sidecar on the side to stabilize it 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻

@13:00 if the trunk only opens with an electric popper and the 12v battery is in the boot. How do you get in if it goes dead?

Fun jump around editing

The USA does not get the better batteries because the best batteries are Chinese. The European cars are Made In China.

Only the Italians would think to to extend the interior charcoal motif back to the engine bay. Brilliant!

i mean what else would be the logical error signal for a failed seconder battery is to do random things that has nothing to do with the battery in any way?

On my V60 II Pilot Assist is great, only need to gently touch the steering wheel to keep it activated. Only thing is I would prefer to nudge where in my Kane it was keeping me. Can this be adjusted with the software?

My step-granddad had one, dark purple. He let me drive it a bit once when I was ten or something.

The single motor RWD version is the far better road-tripper it is a beast. So to everyone else...forget the AWD go for the new RWD version. If you live in a country where they sell ZEEKR a GEELY sister brand to POLESTAR any ZEEKR is even better and with LFP option. It is a simple rule ALL AWD EVs are less efficient and drain batteries on a road-trip versus RWD EVs that are always more efficient. FWD EVs are frankly a mistake in design judgement but are OKAY for small city cars.

Man has a Trabant manual.
