I know right. It is my understanding that the Pacific Northwest region does not get nearly the same number of allocations as California. Anyway I will be perfectly happy in May-ish when it shows.
2023 Polestar V60/S60 Ordering
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.

Same here for Canada. Bc and quebec get all the scarce recharge allocations while us in Ontario get shafted with next to nothingI know right.

Dealers in BC haven't gotten much of the v60 recharge. But we do see a fair bit of xc60 recharge.Same here for Canada. Bc and quebec get all the scarce recharge allocations while us in Ontario get shafted with next to nothing

My dealer was able to match steingold Volvos price, but you can also buy it directly on their site. I was able to get the Volvo 10yr 100k Platinum warranty for a little over 3kI picked my v60 recharge up today.

I placed an order June 5th for a v60 Polestar, when the previous tax credit was still available. Finally heard last week the my order got picked up by Volvo and to expect a March delivery. Bummer that I won't receive tax credit under new act, but will still most likely go through with the purchase.

If you had a committed order (via non-refundable deposit), then you should still qualify for the tax credit in the 2023 tax year. This is of course subject to tax policy interpretation but I’ve yet to see any specific cut-off delivery date for committed orders placed prior to the August 16 2022 law change.I placed an order June 5th for a v60 Polestar, when the previous tax credit was still available.

From the viewpoint of the IRS, what you need is a binding contract prior to August 16 2022.If you had a committed order (via non-refundable deposit), then you should still qualify for the tax credit in the 2023 tax year.

What is a binding contract? This what the IRS says verbatim. (Plug-In Electric Vehicle Credit IRC 30 and IRC 30D | Internal Revenue Service)
In general, a written contract is binding if it is enforceable under State law and does not limit damages to a specified amount (for example, by use of a liquidated damages provision or the forfeiture of a deposit). While the enforceability of a contract under State law is a facts-and-circumstances determination to be made under relevant State law, if a customer has made a significant non-refundable deposit or down payment, it is an indication of a binding contract. For tax purposes in general, a contract provision that limits damages to an amount equal to at least 5 percent of the total contract price is not treated as limiting damages to a specified amount. For example, if a customer has made a non-refundable deposit or down payment of 5 percent of the total contract price, it is an indication of a binding contract. A contract is binding even if subject to a condition, as long as the condition is not within the control of either party. A contract will continue to be binding if the parties make insubstantial changes in its terms and conditions.
Since I have a pretty good relationship with my dealer they didn't require a deposit on the the car. After waiting for 2+ months with no word from Volvo and hearing stories of people's non PE T8 orders getting pushed back or altogether getting cancelled, I lost hope and didn't expect that the order would actually get picked up. If I knew for sure that the order would have eventually been picked up, I would have put down a big deposit. But to have several thousand dollars tied up for 6 months to a year on a "maybe" didn't sound great. Everything I have read, sounds like I am SOL.From the viewpoint of the IRS, what you need is a binding contract prior to August 16 2022.

Any news?Spoke with my dealer this weekend. Still no update and our car “has not been accepted by Volvo”. With the new legislation we are probably going to pass as I really wanted the $7500 credit - dealer is scrambling but sounds like no Volvos will qualify with the batteries all being made in China. Sucks!
Nope no news. I’ve given up hope!
I’m still hoping for youNope no news. I’ve given up hope!
I think I'm one of the fortunate ones. I ordered my v60 ultimate in Oct requesting a March delivery. I got an email from my salesman saying a mid December assembly. Found out on Dec 9 it was actually built the previous day and waiting at the ship terminal for the trip over the pond. Eta to Halifax is mid Jan and then a train/truck ride over to Toronto for a delivery eta on valentines day.
Truthfully it's a bit earlier than I want since I'm still recovering from dumping a boatload of cash on a new house lol

Is yours a B6 or a T8? If it's a T8 you got really lucky! Most dealers are saying 1-2 yrs wait and they are not accepting anymore deposits.I think I'm one of the fortunate ones.

B6 only...in Canada t8 is long sold outIs yours a B6 or a T8? If it's a T8 you got really lucky! Most dealers are saying 1-2 yrs wait and they are not accepting anymore deposits.
Yeah you had me wondering how you got a T8 Polestar because that's what this thread was for.B6 only...in Canada t8 is long sold out
Anyways, there are a few V60 B6 available for sale in Canada right now. They are not hard to come by. Only the recharge models have production constraints.
the dealer I have my order through told me they have an allocation that hasn't been reserved yet. I also did some googling and Volvo in Ramsey NJ looks like they have a v60 polestar on the lot according to the website but I haven't called them about it - if you want to travel or shipNope no news.

Better hurry and put your name in before you lose the chance!the dealer I have my order through told me they have an allocation that hasn't been reserved yet.

I just wanted to share the details of my V60 Polestar order. I initially ordered in July of this year, and the order was entered but not allocated/accepted by Volvo. My order was finally accepted on December 23rd and is scheduled for production in early April. It has an early March order lock date; it's a '23 model. Now I just have to decide between White, Thunder and Silver Dawn. Any input appreciated!
