Polestar nears a US sellout before connected-car rules close its new-car market.

Polestar sold 14,371 vehicles in the third quarter, 1% more than a year earlier. About 2,160 were sold in the United States, up from 966, as the automaker worked through its final model-year 2026 inventory.

US connected-vehicle rules will prevent the China-owned company from selling new model-year 2027 cars, although it plans to keep its service and used-car operations. Outside the US, quarterly retail sales fell 8%, and Polestar is shifting more attention to Europe and future production in Slovakia.
