Hey guys,

I’m looking at getting an EV since I’ll be driving about 120 km round trip for school, 6 days a week.

Right now I have a deal on a 2022 Polestar 2, but since it only has about a year of battery/motor warranty left, I’m also considering a 2021–2023 Tesla Model 3 with lower mileage.

I live in Québec near the water, so we get salty roads, salt from the water and a lot of snow in winter. I’ll also be charging at home.

My main questions are:

* Is the Model 3 Standard Range Plus a good choice despite being RWD?

* How is the corrosion/rust resistance long term?

* Which would you personally trust more for 6–8 years of ownership?

*what is your experience with the SR+

For insurance, I was quoted:

* $108/month for the Polestar 2

* $163/month for a Model 3 Long Range

I haven’t checked insurance yet for the SR+.

What would you guys suggest?

Thanks in advance, and let me know if I’m missing any important info.

Hey guys, im about to buy a used Polestar 2 long range awd 2022 with pack plus and with 120 000km.The price is good. I will do about 108 000km in 4 years for school. Im a bit worried about the fact that I will run out of battery warranty in about 1,5year. Should I be? In live in canada with snow from the end of october to the end of march. How is the car in cold climate (-20C around 17 days in a winter) and how is it when it comes to rust?

Thanks in advance
