How many times do you get to utilise the 0-60 before you get bored?
Sure if you are racing at every set of lights.... but for the most, I guess it is the 30-50 and 50-70 that I would use most.
What I was most impressed about was the comparison of WLTP to 'real life' driving (as much as that is the case in a warm Madrid) ... 85%.
So assuming there is 107 usable kW, that brings it near enough 310 range. Whilst you will undoubtably stop before emptying the battery, I could feasibly do the 490 mile trip from my place to my folks with one stop. That works for me!
I'm sue mine in Sept, just in time for the colder weather in Scotland so reckon 220 - 250 mile range.....
I think 490 miles with a one stop would suit anyone in the UK! I know some folk come up with truly bizarre weekly journeys that make an EV 'impossible', but when you get north of 300 miles real world range then you have enough to get anywhere in the UK provided you can take a 10-15 stop along the route. If you went any further, in any direction, you'll end up driving into the sea.. I think that's the point at which people need to give up the 'more range' demands!Sure if you are racing at every set of lights.... but for the most, I guess it is the 30-50 and 50-70 that I would use most.

Yes agree entirely about the 30-50/50-70 ranges, they're what I actually use - but the 0-60 is a standard point of reference test and if a car is fast 0-60, that tells you plenty about how it'll do 30-50 etc too.
I used to say overtaking was stupidly easy in my iPace with 400hp. Do I need the extra 150hp the i4 offers to overtake..? No, I do not. But it does make overtaking even easier, and by extension safer - so long as you remain sensible and thoughtful. I would miss the level of power and pace I have today, even if I can't claim it's a 'need' or even particularly important.
I think it has a heated steering wheel as well .... but I'm not telling her just yet.
As for charging, range &keeping it clean, her participation is close to zero.
483bhp will be plenty enough for the school run. I didn't spend extra for the performance pack as I prefer the added range.
The kids will love the 25 speaker B&W setup.
As it was, we had scum-spec polo, circa 1987
Agree totally about the sound systems in decent modern cars too. The car is the most responsible and least embarrassing place to really crank up the volume and enjoy great music!

I was supposed to take collection of mine today.
They called me yesterday (happy birthday) to say that is isn't happening.
The delay will be weeks rather than days....

I really like the P3 and had one on order, placed in October 2022 (see previous posts here).
In May 2023 a family member who works for Polestar told me they were not going well with the software and it would be delayed at least 12 months, past the expected Q4 2023 delivery.
So I cancelled the P3 and ordered a BMW iX, which I’ve been driving since last December.
Sad to see the P3 struggling to make deliveries
Delivered a week late - can't be too annoyed with that.
Came with 9 miles on the clock.
Software version 1.1.11
B&W sound system is off the scale - so clear!
Rear legroom is brilliant.
Have only driven it 2miles to the pharmacy and back, but it is what you would expect from a posh milk float.
Will get to play a bit more at the weekend.
One thing tha bugs me is that the colour I chose, THUNDER looked a lot darker in the options.... this is more light blue / grey.
Not offensive, (similar colour to my XC60) but not quite what I was expecting.

App doesn't show PP - has 484bhp which is standard.

Anyway, looks great - doesn't look too much like a milk float to me
- maybe try and race one sometime, see if it's faster than one...TheDeuce said:
