Polestar Pulls Out of U.S. Market

Polestar, the electric car brand, is exiting the U.S. market after the Commerce Department labeled its vehicles a national security risk tied to connected tech that could link back to China. Despite only accounting for 6% of their sales here, the move stems from Biden-era rules banning cars with Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cellular tech connected to China — effective from 2027 models. Owned by a Chinese parent, Polestar still plans to sell its 3 and 4 models in the U.S., focusing on markets where they dominate — like Europe. This decision underscores rising global scrutiny over tech supply chains and national security in the EV era. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
