Swedish electric performance car maker, Polestar Automotive Holding (NASDAQ:PSNY) announced on its website Wednesday that they have sold out of build slot reservations for their Polestar 6 LA Concept edition.
The Concept was revealed in Los Angeles on August 16th. At the time, PSNY announced that they would launch 500 numbered units of a special ‘LA Concept’ version and invited customers to reserve build slots. According to the announcement on the carmaker’s website, they sold all of the slots in a week.
“The high interest from our customers shows that a stunning electric roadster like Polestar 6 has high relevance in the sportscar arena,” comments Thomas Ingenlath, Polestar CEO. “The open-top-plus-electric combination is clearly one that appeals to even the most die-hard petrolheads.”
Responding to the strong demand for Polestar 6, the company plans to open reservations on build slots for regular versions of Polestar 6 later in 2022, which will be produced after the initial 500 LA Concept edition cars have been built.
Polestar plans to launch four new EVs within five years – stronger and faster than any other EV start-up on the market today. This begins with the world debut of the company’s first electric performance SUV – Polestar 3 – in October 2022. Polestar 3 is planned to be followed by the Polestar 4 electric performance SUV coupe in 2023 and Polestar 5, the electric performance 4-door GT based on the Precept concept car, in 2024.
