Executive Summary
Polestar reported Q3 2026 retail sales of 14,371 cars (+1% YoY) and nine-month sales of 44,790 (+0.6% YoY), both described as record levels. Excluding U.S. business due to the Connected Vehicle Rule, Q3 volumes fell 8% YoY to 12,211. The filing is a routine monthly sales update with no financial data — the near-flat growth and U.S. headwind make it neutral.
