A Polestar Phone now inexplicably exists

Polestar normally makes electric cars, but now it's releasing a phone.

@arstechnica "inexplicably" ? When the business is to track an individual...how best do you do that ? car, phone, computer, tv, bathroom equipment. i bet tv and toilets with polestar brand is next.

@arstechnica Not in the market for a new car, let alone a luxury electric car. But if I had been considering one, this executive decision tells me everything I have to know about Polestar management.

@arstechnica The companion app for the car is horrendously terrible. Very basic functionality, issues with even getting it to open at times, super slow to load and crammed with useless features (almost seems like they're there to take up space and make it seem bulkier). As a car owner and app user, I'm really happy to see they're focussing on a phone instead of - you know - me.

Side note - the car is beautiful and well made.
