Polestar will no longer be allowed to sell new vehicles in the United States beginning with the 2027 model year after the Trump administration denied the Swedish electric-vehicle maker authorization under federal rules governing connected vehicle technology, according to Reuters.

The decision essentially blocks Polestar from introducing new models in the US market as Washington continues to express national security concerns over vehicles with technology tied to China.

Other automakers with Chinese ownership have sought different courses of action. Volvo Cars received authorization from the Commerce Department in May, though the automaker said it must continue demonstrating compliance across its US lineup.

    What are you smoking? Musk got exactly what he wanted. Is your definition of “didn’t work so well” becoming a trillionaire?

    He left the government in disgrace and didn't get the EV preferential treatment he was hoping from the administration.

    Him making money in the stock market is less about Trump helping him, but more of Trump allowing AI companies to do whatever they want, and xAI is part of that.
