    IMHO, Polestars have a MUCH nicer cabin than Telsa. Also, Android Automotive with CarPlay.

      The console is obnoxiously large though. I rented one and it felt like being back in a HMMWV.

        Yeah, they should’ve taken a page out of the S60. That center console has some weird decisions.

        I’ll still gladly take the Volvo / Polestar interior over Telsa’s cheap minimalist interior.

  Just found out Volvo is owned by a Chinese investment group, not sure how I feel about supporting that either.

  Is it even possible to ethically buy a car in this day and age?

    There is no ethical consumption under capitalism.

    what’s the difference between a Chinese investment group and a US investment group? They are both terrible. There’s no ethical mega corp, I’m afraid.

      While your statement is accurate and I won’t necessarily argue it, I think it’s a bit simplistic in a nuanced world.

    I felt the same way but ended up going with a volvo anyway because Chinese Investment or not, the company does at least try to make an effort to be more safe, ethical, and sustainable. Given the alternatives I made the decision that volvo was still the right car for me.
