So, Polestar is the only Chinese car that I know of that has a loophole that allows it to be sold in the US. It's really nice, plus I got it used with low mileage.

10/10 would recommend

From what I understood there was never a ban on Chinese cars being sold in the US, they just put an 100% tariff on them to make it impractical for both dealers and buyers.

Gotcha, I vaguely remember that now that you mention it. I wonder if that doesn't apply to Polestar since they weren't originally a Chinese-owned company, and even now Geely only owns 22% of them.

Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.
