Get this $20,000 Tesla conquest deal on Polestar 3 (before the tariffs hit)
The Trump Administration just slapped huge tariffs on imported cars, causing many car buyers to accelerate their purchase plans and snap up a new car now, rather than wait. If that’s you, and you’re one of the thousands looking to distance yourself from Tesla, the time is now to check out this $20,000 Tesla conquest deal from Polestar.
It might seem hard to believe now, but once upon a time there were a bunch of otherwise sane, intelligent people who believed that there was “infinite demand” for Tesla’s cars. That’s not true anymore – it’s an objective fact that the two million reservations for Tesla Cybertruck haven’t turned into sales, and the rest of the brand’s cars are losing value three times faster than the rest of the new car market, making them tough to sell or trade in.
That’s where incentives come in – and, while a number of car brands are offering several thousands of dollars to EV buyers looking to make the switch, this $20,000 Tesla conquest deal from Polestar might be the one that’s most aggressively targeting Tesla buyers.
From the Polestar website:
Calling all Tesla owners. Enjoy up to $20,000 towards the lease of a new Polestar 3 when you combine the $5,000 Polestar Conquest Bonus and the $15,000 Polestar Clean Vehicle Incentive.
Polestar 3 is the SUV that drives like a sports car. Featuring range up to 350 miles, 517 hp, 0-60 mph in 4.5 seconds, and built-in technologies like Google Assistant and Apple CarPlay.
Polestar hasn’t been shy about what it views as an “opportunity” to snatch up car buyers who want to distance themselves from Musk. The company’s CEO, German auto industry stalwart Michael Lohscheller, told Bloomberg, “For Germany, somebody outside of Germany endorsing right-wing political parties is a big thing. You want to know what I think about it? I think it’s totally unacceptable. Totally unacceptable. You just don’t do that. This is pure arrogance, and these things will not work.”
He’s hoping enough people agree to move the needle on Polestar sales in the US – and the first step to that is for consumers to get behind the wheel of this “masterfully tuned and sneaky-fast SUV,” and see if it’s a fit for them.
Electrek’s Take
I spent half the day in a local Volvo dealership I’ve had a great relationship with for years. I know those guys well. They typically average about 2-3 units per day.
Yesterday? I arrived around 1:30PM with a sack of spicy chicken sandwiches (if you want good customer service, be a good customer), and they’d already moved a half dozen units by the time I got there. They were looking at another dozen fresh leads from panicked city-dwellers looking to come in and make a deal over the weekend.
It’s about to get weird out there, kids. You could do far worse than trying to navigate said weirdness in a new Polestar.
