Polestar Still Wants to Know Why It Was Banned and Volvo Wasn't: TDS

Polestar told dealers last week it still does not know why the U.S. government has effectively banned the EV maker from the market, while allowing its sister brand, Volvo, to operate. Peter Wexler, head of product, retail network and government affairs, said the company is focusing on engaging the Commerce Department to obtain requested information and understand the basis for the denial, per a Wall Street Journal report. The roundup also noted Land Rover delayed the next-generation Defender by two years, expecting a new replacement SUV in the early part of the next decade. Tesla raised the Cybertruck price by $5,000.
