Looking for a Polestar 2 owner

Model Y rides rough. Even rougher if you get the bigger rims.

I think it’s the same with 3.

I see. Well, I ordered the Model 3 with regular rims because my wife didn't want to pay $1500 for the bigger rims even though she thinks they look nicer. And the regular one is more energy efficient as well.

@Kenkoko: So how was it?

Tesla model S plaid - just insane acceleration. I think the quarter mile time was just over 9 seconds. Unbelievable for a production car. Even the fastest Porsche Taycan Turbo S could not keep up.

Taycan - drove the 4S not the Turbo S. Feels very luxurious, but really lacking in the performance department. Getting completely smoked by the model S plaid really dampened the excitement. Maybe the Porsche emblem justifies the price for some, but not for me.

So the Tesla handled better on turns too, or was this just a straight 1/4 mile track?

The standard rims look nice behind the Aero hubcaps if you don't mind the slight loss in efficiency:



You just have to buy a lug nets and center cap kit (cheaper on Amazon then from Tesla).

Both car handled the track really well. I would call it a very even match in terms of handling.

Taycan just did not come close to Tesla Plaid on any linear acceleration. On turns, I noticed it much less.

But coming out of turns, the Taycan has a very slight delay when pushed to accelerate. I noticed this on a few other cars too.

The Plaid acceleration was seamless.

Taycan 4S was slower than the Rivian truck on the straight 1/4 mile dash.

USC needs to try out some EVs over his beloved Porsches.
