I remember some people here either looking to purchase or who had already purchased an electric car.

I'm looking forward to the Polestar 3 launch event this evening (6pm) - curious to know what you make of them!

TBH as a Tesla owner polestars are just meh to me, it's good for competition in the market but Polestar really need to move away from thier Vovo origins. I mean polesar 3 looks like a cross beween the xc-40 (that rear quarter window with it half covered by the frame coming to the roof line - that's xc-40 right there) and xc-60. The interior is ... well... Volvo and why go for a vertical center screen over a horizontal one - oh that's right that's how Volvo do it - just integrated into the dash rather than floating like a Tesla Model 3's screen.

Also, the IO is android so...... 🤪

I'm so intrigued by electric cars, and I think Polestar would be my choice - reckon I'll definitely go electric as my next car purchase but the prices need to seriously come down first! Until then I'm sticking with my trusty 18 plate Fiesta 😂

I know what you mean about the vertical screen against the horizontal style seen so much these days but I guess Polestar are just sticking to their Volvo roots for the time being.

When it comes to build quality though, Polestar/Volvo is superb whereas Tesla is known for having more rattles than Mothercare...

Bit like my Astra. Getting 50mpg out of a petrol car is great, but not at the cost of stripping out so much to lighten the car that it creaks and rattles 🤬

As a Model 3 owner I can confirm this is 100% true 😂. Love the car but the rattles drive you mad! Had 3 service visits and the next one involves replacing the rear seats which we hope we solve the problem once and for all. Fortunately all covered under warranty…

definitely agree on the build quality concerns.. getting inside a modern electric Audi or porsche, you see years of experience of these companies when it comes to building a quality product.

I watched an old MKBHD review of the Taycan Turbo, especially when he's coming from a perspective as a plaid owner.

do love Marcus' video productions.. so easy to watch

MM have lost my AW S6 SS in between being delivered to their distribution centre on 25th September and whatever happens to it after that. Currently going through the lost item claims process, have submitted proof of postage, serial number and imei which they asked for. Now just waiting for them to investigate and pay out.

Instead of monthly payments for YouTube premium, buy Vinegar for a one off fee of £1.79. No ads, Picture in Picture, background audio etc. I’m on iPhone 11 so no 4k, on my MB I can view 4k.

apps.apple.com

‎Vinegar - Tube Cleaner

‎Vinegar is a Safari extension that replaces the YouTube player with a minimal HTML video tag. It removes ads, restores picture-in-picture, and keeps videos playing in the background. Note: The "can read information from webpages" text in the permission section is just unfortunate wording...
apps.apple.com apps.apple.com

I’m using this Safari extension on both iPhone and Mac. For quick access on iPhone instead of typing YouTube.com - create a website shortcut icon on your home screen and delete the YouTube app.

@iRBT All stock from Birmingham just gone, there was a silver 256GB PM available. Not sure which stores you are looking at but MK, Birmingham and Solihull have all had stock this morning.

Leicester's turn to have stock.

Most PM models available now.

Edit: All gone

Are people still looking for store stock or has the trend dropped off now?

I think the vast majority of swappers are now time barred, and many who missed out on launch day stock probably now have what they want.

Tomorrow marks 4 weeks since launch day and things have definitely quietened down around here. It’s the silence of the satisfied iPhone 15 owner.
