We put a deposit down with our local dealer (Portland, Oregon) to build a 2023 V60 Polestar Engineered T8 about 2 months ago. The dealer has been great but the "build" hasnt been accepted by Volvo and it doesn't sound like there is much information on IF it will be accepted. I've also heard some folks that have confirmed 22 builds got pushed to 23 MY and are still awaiting details.

We want to buy this new and get the federal $7500k rebate and we want the longer range that the 22 Extended and 23's have. I'm hoping someone has some news on the 23 polestars but my dealer is starting to think we might not get this car made.

Some of these dealers out there can be just full of ****. They might not even have any allocation to begin with and lied to you to get a deposit to see if they can get one.

I would call around to every dealer closest to you and then expand your radius as you go. There might be unsold units out there.

I have no reason to believe my particular dealer was shady. They have great reviews and the sales guy assigned to me was genuinely a good dude, great communication and courtesy. He showed me the order sheet and everything. Fully refundable deposit too.

I may have a lead on another one, though I don't think it's been built yet, so it may suffer the same fate as my previous.

Worst comes to worse, I'm not in dire need of a new car, but after test-driving one the other day, it's got me really excited to get one. I'm curious if Volvo will stop selling the V60 in the US at some point though. I wouldn't mind a V90 Recharge, but doubt that's going to happen for now.

When did you put in your initial order? I placed mine Aug 1st with a dealer who apparently had an allocation. But still haven’t received word of scheduled production date. Hoping this isn’t the end for me…

I got my name on the order in early September. However, when he showed me the order details, it had an original order date of June 2022. Wishing you the best of luck. It sucks how difficult it is to know what's going on these days.

Damn that’s not good news for me. Fingers crossed but I wouldn’t be surprised if I’m in for the same outcome. Might have to jump to an x3m if that’s the case.

Been following this thread for a while given the uncertainty about allocations and orders for this car. I have an order with a dealer in LA that just got approved but I no longer need — Turbovagn, drop me a message (I’m new to the site so apparently can’t send messages yet) and I’ll put you in contact with the dealer if you’re still interested.

Assuming my purchase of my happened upon v60 goes through Saturday, which it should as it was delivered to my dealer today, I can also put someone In Touch with my dealer as he said my original allocation is still locked in.
PM me if interested. Location is mid altlantic

I appreciate that very much! However, I may have found an option. I feel bad saying this, because I know there are people who had orders in longer than me, but I sniped an "in-transit" car that hadn't been claimed. ETA is late Dec/early Jan. I spent a LOT of time calling dealers and searching online, and almost gave up and finally found one. It's literally on the other side of the country, which is going to be a pain, but it has a VIN, so it's already made and I don't think I can do any better than that for now.

By chance was it the dealer in Van Nuys (assuming by LA you mean Los Angeles)?

Yep, that’s the dealer. Glad to hear you were able to find one!

That's hilarious! I had talked to that sales guy a few days ago, he seemed super nice. He was gonna let me know if anyone dropped an order, and he actually texted me today about it. I hope someone else can get the V60. They do seem to be trickling in, but very slowly.

Thunder Grey! I would have settled for black, but TG is definitely the most interesting of the colors in my opinion.

Nice! What state did you end up finding it in?

I’m waiting on a silver dawn one myself. Surprisingly now my dealer told me yesterday they are expecting it sometime in January. I was shocked to hear because a few weeks ago they had no idea. Not sure how that works but I’m not complaining lol.

Florida. Legit about as far away as I could go! Debating on whether to have it shipped or fly out and drive it back on an epic cross country drive. I'm not shy of long roads, in fact I tend to crave them, however I'm a little weary of taking a brand new car on mostly all highway cruise miles. I guess I could take the side highways and have some more fun with the Polestar!

FYI: Shipping from Rode Island to Texas (1,848 miles) was $900-$1200 for an open carrier and $1,500 to $1,800 for enclosed.

Thank you! Stuff like this helps with the decision-making.

Way cheaper to fly there, look at it in person and inspect it, then drive it home. Plus, more fun. And I'd never spend tens of thousands of dollars sight unseen.
So far 630 miles is the farthest I bought a car, and it was a trade deal, so with hotel stay, about 1300 total miles in 2 days. Cost me maybe $300 total gas/food/lodging. And was worth it, even if I didn't get the car, for the drive itself. Pgh to Atlanta and back. I've never been through the Smokey Mountains before, absolutely beautiful.

I'm leaning towards driving it back. I think I'd just take some side highways to prevent droning on cruise control the entire way. Plus I got lots of friends along the way home to CA. I probably wouldn't spend any on hotels. May try and get some wax or something on it before I do that though.

Just following up on my earlier post... after a few months, a ton of emails and calls, including to Volvo corporate, it looks like we may have now secured an allocation for a 2024 V60 PE to replace our 2020. Fingers crossed... we love wagons and really didn't want to go into something else. Our backup remains buying our 2020 V60 PE off lease but that only gets us about 8-months of HOV access here in CA and doesn't provide us with the benefits of the larger, more powerful battery.

I received good news, my dealer informed me I received an allocation for a V60 PE. Original order in June 2022, estimated delivery May 2023. Now I need to learn to be patient.
