Polestar recently reported a net loss of over $1 billion in the second quarter of 2025, driven largely by U.S. tariffs, pricing pressure, and a $739 million impairment charge related to its Polestar 3 SUV. The company also experienced a 56％ drop in U.S. sales, raising concerns about its long-term financial stability. Tariffs are a major issue for EV makers that rely on international supply chains, and Polestar’s struggles highlight the broader challenges facing smaller automakers in a competitive market. For consumers, the news creates uncertainty about warranty coverage, future service availability, and resale values. Online discussions reflect anxiety among Polestar owners who fear declining brand support. The case underscores how global trade policies directly affect not just automakers but also everyday drivers who invested in these vehicles.
