Olympic Mathlete posted:All the people in here saying they saw it as KN says you're wrong. Do you work for the consultancy that sold them the re-brand? I don’t know, it probably says more about who they want to sell the car too than the company. If you want your car plastered in advertising, buy the inevitable Volvo version

StormDrain posted:Also as a point of order they do have a marking low on the door that identifies the model and some poo poo. It looks like a tag on a video game asset in dev mode or something. That's factory? The only Polestars I see are from a car share company so I assumed those tags were something they'd added.

I'm just baffled by the people who think that a logo has to be an instantly legible wordmark. When did that become the rule?? Do you get upset about that mysterious car brand out there with the four Os on it? Do you Google OOOO CAR to try to figure out what it is? How about that one that has like a Y but upside down? Must be some sort of brand that starts with a Y, right? There is nothing wrong with stylizing the logo to the point where it's a graphic instead of a wordmark. You will rapidly get used to it and quit being confused, the same way you learned to recognize every other car badge. Sheesh

logos and words are different things, overly stylized words that are meant to be signs or brand marks or otherwise legible words but are not legible to non-hosed up humans are stupid. Sorry about your broken adbrain.

Weird complaining about the Polestar logo. How is it functionally different from any of the other symbol logos without text like say Merc or Chrysler (star) or Renault or whatever?

Ehhhh it's not complaining as such, I just notice them pushing a brand with no brand recognition (even on car forums!) and nothing to actually help that when the cars are out in public unless you can manage to read the text on the front wing. The cars attract attention but don't take advantage of that properly imo, which is...... bad if you want people to know where to buy one. I'm not saying they should be emblazoned with 6ft brand names but a crumb of a clue for the average Joe stuck behind one in traffic can't be a bad thing. You should take a look at the branding of some of those companies you mention to find at which point they were able to drop the brand name and just run with the logo (assuming the logo didn't contain the brand name anyway). It's a good while for some of them! For some actual complaining: I hate how the media will try to rehabilitate killers if they're white and rich. Doubly so if the killing involves a vehicle.

Polestar's branding and marketing strategy overall is weird and strange and the issues go far beyond what badges they do or do not stick on the cars.

I was gonna dump a can of seafoam in the tank and top it off to see if that would help the misfire situation. Last ditch attempt before having to buy parts or take it to a shop. I only noticed the smoke after I turned the car off next to the pump. Didn't want to start back up obviously. Putting it into neutral would have rolled it right up to the door of the store. Thankfully Sheetz has extinguishers at the pumps. Used my official OSHA training 🙂

A guy called ihop comments on my choice of gas station food and explosion danger. A banner day to be sure. A sad actual fact is that I emerged from the haze of extinguisher powder to pick up my nitro cold brew with cream and large mozz sticks.
