2022 Polestar 2

From the frameless mirrors to the LED headlights and panoramic glass roof, the Polestar 2 is a vehicle that makes a clean break from bland tradition. Polestar is raising the bar of newness up a notch. With dual electric motors, a better battery and heightened handling, the Polestar 2 delivers 408 electric horses of powerful, precise performance on an unprecedented scale.

Whether for daily duties or daring daytrips, the Polestar 2’s unique battery is prepared to get you there — charged at home, it’s ready to start every day with 233 miles of “go” power. The Polestar 2 is ethics meets innovation: fully vegan interior options, reconstructed wood and a battery design that’s as cool as it is conscious.

This electric vehicle is equipped with a suite of safety features inside and out, including AI Pilot Assist, effectively making it an on-the-go co-pilot that graduates at the top of its class.

The Polestar 2 is a stand-alone operating system on wheels. Smart capabilities like voice control and phone integration keep the driver focused on the road for an entertaining, immersive and personal driving experience. Through a phone app, the system recognizes the car’s owner and unlocks on approach. With driver profiles, the moment the driver touches the door, the seat, mirror, steering wheel and temperature settings are returned to the driver’s personal position. The built-in Android Automotive OS brings full integration to the driver’s favorite Google apps and beyond.

Polestar is a leading-edge brand addition to the Courtesy Automotive Group, exclusively bringing the brand to Arizona. Its bold and storied heritage that already embodies EV tech of the future needs to be showcased at one of the highest foottrafficked locations in the Valley — Scottsdale Fashion Square, where the temporary popup will be replaced with a permanent showroom opening in October 2021. —Mike Hunter

Vaccinated – To Be or Not to Be

Some people might call it common sense, to use a term that, when invoked in conversation, is usually in the context of discussing something we feel is so painfully obvious that it ought to be commonly — that is, universally — understood, but isn’t.

We’ve got an asset that many places in the world are crying out for. But its existence has spawned a tremendous divide between common sense and nonsense.

Common sense: Vaccination is a healthcare issue. Treating it as a political issue is nonsense. (It’s no more a political issue than the question “Is water wet?”)

Knowing someone in the vicinity has a deadly, contagious disease, wouldn’t common sense suggest staying away?

And if there were a repellant for a deadly, contagious disease that is rampant in our midst, wouldn’t it be common sense to use it?

FYI:

In a recent survey from Homedit, 44% of respondents who reported contracting COVID-19 over the past year are convinced they got it from going to work.

And it may surprise employers to learn — especially given the attitudes reported in news and talk shows — that 70% of respondents felt employees should have to tell their employers whether or not they’ve elected to be vaccinated and 72% felt employers should require employees to provide proof of vaccination in order to come back to the office. —RaeAnne Marsh
