What part isn't refundable? You have to tie up 25% less of your money on the reservation
I asked the live chat guy and he had no idea. Rivian is fully refundable, the U.S and the rest of the world are fully refundable. Why is Polestar Canada saying only partially refundable? Doesn't make sense.

I really like this thing!
If it comes under or a little above 100K it might be a winner for me!

You can get a base LR with pilot and plus for under $100K. Also, their website has crashed and unable to load the configurator due to demand.

I think it's similar to what BMW and Audi are doing.

The deposit is fully refundable until you lock up the configuration/production, but once you lock up your configuration and it goes into production you either take delivery or lose the deposit. This is the case with my iX reservation

Audi will only refund the deposit if your vehicle gets sold after you decline to take delivery. I decided against putting a deposit for an eTron S because of this.

Yeah, the CAD website is not showing the price/reservation right now.
But yeah, I like the under 100K part TBH.

Heck I ordered an iX and didn't even put a deposit down. It showed up, but I had recently gotten my R1T, so I passed on the iX.

Back up, live chat has said all order deposits have a $50 cancellation fee for the Canadian market.

Wow, 30k over a Model Y performance. No thanks. I would have put a deposit down if it was 70-75k for a performance. Performance has sub 300 mile range. Sad.

I mean its expensive, but you'll get waaaaay more luxury features in the Polestar. (air suspension, HUD, B&W stereo, soft close doors) etc...

If the Polestar 3 was in the $70s pretty well loaded, then I would have bit for my wife. $85-95k and I’m going to pass.

Anyone know if those storage compartment specs are right? They seem extremely small and it seems like this thing will have no storage space inside.

Interesting that the first ones will come from China before switching to being built in South Carolina. Looking forward to seeing how well their ADAS works with Lidar. For those of us who care, Driver+ doesn't seem to be keeping pace.
