[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Polestar is owned by Volvo, so it's not that much of an unknown.[/quote]
So it’s a Chinese car?[/quote]

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.[/quote]

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

They are produced in the US and Sweden as well[/quote]

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. [/quote]
