Wondering where the Polestar 6 is? The White House may be behind the hold up.
In a recent interview with the automotive website Edmunds, the EV maker’s global head of product communications, Graeme Lambert, said the roadster has been pushed to the side so the brand can focus on more accessible models. The open-top two-door was always going to be a more expensive car, but tariffs move it into a territory that may scare off prospective buyers.
We first got a look at the convertible just over four years ago when it debuted as the 02 concept. The response was so strong that the automaker announced months later that it would put the vehicle into production as the 6. Initially, the drop top was supposed to be a limited-run vehicle, but when its 500 build slots immediately filled up, the company pivoted to an on-demand production model with an eye on the EV launching in 2026.
Now, it’s not uncommon for a buzzy performance vehicle to not appear for a long time in the wake of an exciting announcement, as these things can get caught in production hell or be cancelled. But that’s not the case with the 6, according to Lambert. The executive says the convertible, which is a smaller and sportier version of the 5 sedan, is done.
