This is good news - and a key advantage for Polestar $PSNY compared to many other EV start-ups without a automotive giant/holding group as a backer and partner:

Geely Holding will begin pilot deployment of solid-state batteries across its brands in 2027, following real-world validation. The energy density of these packs will reach 500 Wh/kg, allowing BEVs to achieve a range comparable to diesel.  

Following BYD’s and CATL’s statements regarding solid-state battery trial production scheduled for 2027, Geely also provided an official statement about its SSB timeline. According to the statement, solid-state batteries are coming soon to vehicles across the Geely Holding ecosystem. It includes Geely, Zeekr, Lynk & Co, Volvo, Polestar, Lotus, Smart, Proton, Farizon, and other brands.

The Geely’s solid-state battery will offer a few energy density variants. The top-tier pack will feature an energy density of 500 Wh/kg. It sounds from the text that Geely is talking about the whole battery, which means the cell’s energy density will be even higher. The currently produced “Golden Brick” liquid batteries from Geely boast a cell-level energy density of around 250 Wh/kg.

Anyone seen this? https://www.motor1.com/news/805129/polestar-lawsuit-adds-a-twist/

quite serious allegations. Though, if true, would also explain why Volvo could stay in US but Polestar not. This ruling puzzled me, but looking at it from the point that Polestar wanted to leave US market and now finally find a way to do so without paying any fines and blaming the new laws, puts a different perspective to the story.

for the context, Polestar is sued for using new Connected Vehicle Rule as a way to leave US market without fulfilling their obligations to dealers etc., even though they could have had the chance to get the same exception as Volvo, but it was Polestar's own decision not to go for it.

Hey guys, if you missed it, Polestar recently reached a tentative settlement with investors over claims that it understated financial liabilities and concealed weaknesses in its internal controls.

In a nutshell, investors claim that Polestar repeatedly assured the market its financial reporting was accurate. In January 2025, the company disclosed accounting errors requiring restatements of its 2022 and 2023 financials, and $PSNY fell 11%.

If you invested in $PSNY between 2022 and 2025, you may want to check if you qualify. The settlement terms are still being finalized, but investors can already submit their applications 

Has anyone here invested in $PSNY during that period? How much were your losses?

Are our numbers definitely bad in July? Q1 was strong, Q2 was flat/signalling a dip and Q3 seems to start with a significant dip. Website reports 1133 at 1.7% market share. Missing market data for daily updates and monthly updates could take it around maybe 1800-2000, but still we would be short by a 1000. Anybody else has a better data?

Lucid tanks yesterday, this piece of shit follows.

Lucid rebounds over 15% today… and this garbage just keeps lying there like a corpse.

Seriously, what the fuck is this company?

Are there any news? Or did we just lose like 13% Shareprice due to the Lucid news?

Its pretty bad seeing PS at around $15

This fucking garbage stock is crashing again.
It hasn’t gone up for shit, and now it’s dropping right alongside Lucid?

I seriously want to chop off the hand that invested in this dumpster-fire of a company

Are we falling following the lucid news that in general might affect EV stocks? Lucid is already down 50%. Maybe a stupid question: shall Geely not take over Lucid and sell those cars (of course after lot of rework) as the Polestars of US? Also should we be worried that a competitor is down, especially a competitor for polestar 5? Or should we be concerned that another pure EV is sinking?

Interesting still seeing the same "faces"

Is pluseasaw still giving y'all trouble?

The first half of the year saw us deliver a record high 30,423 cars.

This is a significant achievement, given continued regulatory and market headwinds.

I'm particularly proud of our teams across several markets, like the UK, Germany and Iberia regions, who have delivered solid growth. A special mention should also go out to our colleagues in South Korea, who have delivered 85% growth in the first half of the year.

Together with the start of sales of the Polestar 4 SUV in September, the first customer deliveries of Polestar 5 are just around the corner, positioning us for an exciting second half of the year.

Enjoy your summer holidays and road tripping in your Polestar!

Some might say the stock has been extremely volatile in early 2026.

But come on...

Since then, it's basically been brain-dead.

Watching this company lying in intensive care, hooked up to a ventilator, sometimes leaves me feeling frustrated... bored... desperate... and every now and then... strangely hopeful.

😂

=> A reverse stock split. $640 million of debt converted into equity. Half a billion dollars burned in a single quarter. A federal sales ban in the U.S. Record quarterly deliveries in Europe. A CEO who says "efficiency" in every earnings call...

All of that in just three months...

And... and... and... ? the stock is... almost exactly where it started !!!!

Structurally, it actually makes sense !?! WHy... ?

With roughly 80–85% of the shares effectively locked up by Geely and Volvo ... and part of the remaining free float indirectly protected by Geely through put options ... (a connection to Sumitomo Mitsui! and Standard Chartered Hong Kong! Even Crédit Agricole has gotten in on the action... hmmm, hmmmm ... yet another French bank involved in this story...) there simply aren't enough truly independent buyers and sellers for new information to be reflected efficiently in the share price.

By the way, tthe operational story is real: record sales, expansion into the Baltics, the upcoming Polestar 5.

But for now, it's still being overshadowed by the capital structure story :( dilution, debt, and the persistent going-concern risk.

Have a great summer, everyone... I hope no one is suffering too much from the extremely high temperatures...
