The first rolled off the production line in South Carolina on Wednesday, a massive milestone as the brand looks to take on the US with American-made EVs. Polestar CEO Thomas Ingenlath “strongly believes” the new electric SUV is the best looking and best driving on the market. But is it really? “Manufacturing Polestar 3 in the USA is a crucial step for us,” Ingenlath said at the event.
“Now we offer customers in America an electric SUV that is built in America.” The Polestar 3 is the brand’s first EV built on two continents. After production in April, Polestar’s electric SUV is now being made in the US.

5 seconds. It’s also loaded with an advanced AWD electric system, torque vectoring, active air suspension, and more for a smoother, more confident drive. “I strongly believe this is the best looking and best driving SUV in the market today,” Polestar’s CEO boasted as kicked off.
