Sort of but not really:

Polestar is a Swedish automotive brand established in 1996 by Volvo Cars' partner Flash/Polestar Racing and acquired in 2015 by Volvo, which itself was acquired by Geely from Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China in 2010.[1] It is headquartered in Gothenburg, Sweden[2] with vehicle production taking place in China.

So a car built in China and owned by a Chinese company is “not really” Chinese?

Just spent some time looking at Rivian R1S. It looks impressive. Config is like $75k before incentives (cheaper than BMW but more than a bunch of other ones I was looking at). Nearest service/delivery location now or near future looks to be in Richmond, but ok. Not sure how what to think about "new" brand. Though biggest thing is that delivery is not anytime soon if one ordered today.

As shared on the Rivian Owners Forum and reported by The Drive, the automaker confirmed its drawn-out delivery schedule in SEC paperwork dated Nov. 5. According to the filing, "Based on our current production forecast, we expect to fill our preorder backlog of approximately 55,400 R1 vehicles by the end of 2023."

If I wanted to wait, it does look interesting.

For a long time Rivian will be an artisan car. You have to expect the company could implode at any moment and supplies will disappear, like owning a DaLorean. So if you have the cash to toss $75k at a disposable but probably fun car, go at it. It should last a while without maintenance by nature of being electric, though honestly with these cars my worry would be software support.

This is meaningless, you have to look at the component source checklist. Is it a car 90% assembled in China, then shipped to Sweden for badge “assembly’” and thus becomes a “Swedish” car. It’s complicated enough with the Japanese cars mostly made in the US and tons of components coming from China, you add into the mix of a Chinese govt controlled company dictating supply chain and production. It’s not the Volvo of old at all sadly.

Don't buy that Mexican-built piece of crap. Buy a better, and American-built Tesla.
