Polestar interior emergency release is an intuitive breeze to use

Interior emergency release We had an opportunity to spend some time with a Polestar 3 and got some video of the interior door handle.

Volvo, Polestar add needless complexity to open door indicator

Open door While we continue to gather what we need for a Polestar and Volvo jump start video, we ran across the image below right.

Volvo, Polestar now have their own back-up start pages
