AutoExec Summary
The Australian arm of Polestar, a Swedish-Chinese electric car-maker, has decided to not compete with Tesla in a pricing war and instead aims to match the sales of luxury leaders BMW and Mercedes-Benz within five years. Despite debuting in 2021 at the same price as the popular Tesla Model 3, Polestar has now launched an upgraded 2024 Polestar 2 range priced $10,000 above the Model 3. The brand is focusing on upmarket growth, with upcoming models like the Polestar 3 and Polestar 4 SUVs, aiming for luxury market positioning. Despite Tesla’s dominance, Polestar is confident in its growth potential and aims to rival established luxury brands in the future.
