Polestar is leaving the US, and its $67,500 EVs are now discounted by up to $25,000

Polestar is leaving the US, and its $67,500 EVs are now discounted by up to $25,000 as the brand winds down operations amid a regulatory barrier. The article says some existing Polestar 4 inventory in California has reportedly reached the mid-$30,000 range. Polestar is stepping back from the U.S. market because new federal connected-vehicle rules would block the sale of cars using China-linked software starting with the 2027 model year; Volvo received approval to continue selling, but Polestar did not. To clear stock, the Sweden-based, China-owned EV maker has cut prices sharply. For the Polestar 3, cash or a 4.99% financing offer provides up to $23,000 off, dropping the base model from $67,500 to $44,500; it includes a single-motor EPA-estimated 350-mile range. Dual-motor versions are also discounted to just over $50,000. Polestar 4 discounts reach up to $25,000 for cash, up to $18,000 with 0% APR, plus a 39-month lease advertised at $399 per month, valid through July 31.
