No more Chinese Polestar 3s as production shifts entirely to the US

Production of the Polestar 3 leaves China for South Carolina, making it the first electric SUV from a Chinese-owned brand fully built on US soil. The shift avoids 27.5% import tariffs and cuts shipping costs by 12% compared to the runner-up's overseas-assembled model. With a starting price of $83,900, the US-built Polestar 3 undercuts the average imported luxury EV by $4,500. This move positions it as a more affordable, domestically produced rival in the growing electric SUV market.
