Polestar 4: Charm and Quirks in One Package

In this episode of Kilowatt, we dive into the latest updates and announcements from Tesla, Polestar, and Scout Motors. Tesla enthusiasts will be excited to hear that the company is planning to allow gifting of FSD subscriptions and has introduced Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) functionality in the Model Y L through a software update. The upcoming next-generation Roadster is also back in the spotlight, with Elon Musk teasing an "unforgettable" demo and new job listings hinting at production plans. Meanwhile, Polestar's 2026 Polestar 4 is receiving attention—both praise and criticism—for its unique design choices. Scout Motors makes waves with over 130,000 reservations, with a surprising majority preferring gas engines, and a focus on tactile buttons over touchscreen controls.
