Surely the camera will get dirty, especially on motorways

A window with rear wash wipe solves that

There's a big difference between a digital rear view mirror and a physical one. And yes, without a rear wiper and the potential for the rear to camera dirty, I would say it's a novelty / design choice that may not work so well practically.

That said, when I drive, I constantly check my rear veiw mirror and side mirrors. And when I have three on board in the back use mainly my side mirrors.

So possible to live with, but not ideal. That said, the Polestar 3 + 4 do look lovely. I like their design language and the Google drive infotainment + nicely furnished interior look great.

Too much choice nowadays, that's the problem. I already fancy having a Fisker Ocean + a Polestar 3 + Lexus GX. If only I could win the lottery!

Polestar is deep in debt unlikely to survive. It has limited appeal , no way anything to do with real Volvo's.

£60k and you don't get a rear window, what!. Can't you have both a rear view mirror and a camera.  Would be handy if the rear parking camera on the Jazz was available when driving.

I think ...... but probably wrong, that with the Honda Drive Recorder the rear parking camera can do just that

Or at least is recording what's happening behind
