It has two cup holders. I guess you haven’t actually driven one. I’m 184cm tall and over 100kg, and the car doesn’t seem cramped to me, either, but that’s subjective.
Half the center area is taken with the gear selector for no good reason. Mercedes perfected the shifter when it introduced this: https://images.carsaver.com/evox/stills_white_0640/MY2020/14351/14351_st0640_087.jpg Tesla then copied it (first gen Model S and Model X were actually the Mercedes parts/Tesla bought the parts from Mercedes).
Why does Polestar/Volvo keep taking up half the center area for something completely unnecessary and more annoying to use. I know not everyone has used the Mercedes/Tesla shifter but it’s literally the most intuitive way to shift into drive/reverse/park and allows for storage/more than 1 cup holder for the front seats.
I have driven it and it’s a decent car but it is cramped compared to a Model 3. I’m not saying bigger drivers won’t fit, it’s just there’s not much room and for the same money you can get a Model 3 which feels a lot bigger and the seats felt a lot more comfortable in the Model 3. Some other dumb design is they take away a bit of the front sunroof so that it can reflect its logo on it. Why? So dumb. When I first sat in the car I asked if that’s where you store your glasses and that’s when they told me about the dumb reflection. The cluster screen is nice but the rest of the tech kinda sucks (compared to Tesla’s tech)
It’s still a cupholder even if it’s not the most conveniently positioned. Passenger side person can use it easily. My so drives a Mercedes and I personally prefer the center gear switcher instead of resting my arm and accidentally activating the touchpad control in the Mercedes because it’s annoyingly positioned. The Mercs cruise control is also very inconveniently placed for my preference. I could actually live without the sunroof altogether, and am glad it’s not any larger than it is.
No complaints about the tech apart from still having to wait for Android Auto.
I suppose it’s just a matter of taste question in the end.
10k more, less milage, devalue more over 3-5 years, no NACS. I really wanted a polestar when buying my electric car, and I was will to bite on 5k more “Elon tax” just not to be associated with the asshole, but it was a bit too much. I hope Polestar will catch on quickly so that I can switch the next time
Polestars look better imo
Polestar 2 has only 1 cupholder and is cramped. I don’t get who would buy a Polestar over a Model 3 after test driving both.

A cupholder under the armrest isn’t a cupholder and this image alone shows how ridiculous/dumb of a design this is: https://www.volvocars.com/images/support/img5c7d9f20d8d926b0c0a8015245a6464c_1_--_--_VOICEpnghigh.png
