Today is one of those all too rare days where good news seems to be in abundance. Thank whichever fairy you worship up in the sky, because the morbidly obese Polestar 4 EV is now on sale, and the one I want could be yours too for just over $140,000. This vehicle has it all, dude. It’s a Chinese EV pretending to be Swedish, it’s a massive waste of the Earth’s resources pretending to be environmentally virtuous, and it comes pre-wrapped in 20 tons of CO2 which was used to manufacture it, according to them.
The Polestar 4 boasts an environmentally preposterous 100 KW battery, which is the primary explanation for its morbid obesity. To put this in perspective, if you were to buy one of those cute $99 Ryobi drill driver kits from Bunnings this weekend, it would come with a 27w battery. The battery in the Polestar 4 would not fit in a modern dual cab, and if it did, you would be properly overloaded with the usual sundry crap that you might carry in your fine conveyance.
Australia’s most popular new vehicle last December was the mighty Ford Ranger, and there’s no place for these big heavy tanks in our cities, said every Lefty EV evangelizing insufferably virtuous [__] ever. However, in the domain of actual facts, the fake Swedish Polestar 4 dual motor version is heavier only just but still heavier than a Turbo 2 L Ford Ranger Wildtrack diesel. The Polestar 4 is also wider and within about half a meter of being the same length as the Ranger.
The Polestar 4 comes with a frank full of pre-written jokes, which the Polestar 4 apparently wrote about its own existence. This vehicle is truly a paradoxical creation, and its misleading deception kicked off pretty early with its latest press release. The Polestar 4 is technically on sale now, but in reality, all you can do right now is commit to a deposit for one of the greatest mistakes of your life.
The production of the Polestar 4 will not actually start until midyear, and deliveries are not expected until August. This misleading conduct is unfortunately par for the course for a brand built on half-truths. The Polestar 4 is a prime example of greenwashing, pretending to be environmentally responsible while contributing significantly to CO2 emissions and resource depletion.
In conclusion, the Polestar 4 may seem like a tempting choice, but when you consider the environmental impact and the ethical concerns surrounding its production, it becomes clear that it is not a sustainable or responsible choice. It’s time to rethink our priorities and make more conscious decisions when it comes to our transportation choices. Let’s strive for a greener future that doesn’t compromise the health of our planet.
