Will Polestar file for bankruptcy or be delisted in 2026?

no read on this, that's not my world, i shop, i don't read nasdaq filings.

  fair point, but you don't need to read the filings.

  look, i've been moving prestige inventory for thirty-eight years and i still can't tell you which brands are solvent

wrong category for me, but polestar's got real orders and they're not burning cash like lucid. delisting's the real risk, not bankruptcy

watching the cash burn and the model refresh cycle and yeah, this is a 2026 problem

been watching EV plays come through the distributor channel for years

  yeah, and how many of those actually stuck the landing versus just burned cash till the money ran out?

  distributor channel's where the margin goes to die though, right lol

not really following auto stuff but my friends who care about EVs aren't panicking about polestar yet

  fair point, but "not panicking yet" is different from "the capital structure holds"

room's pricing in a liquidation scenario like it's already baked in. historically, automotive distress takes longer than the consensus thinks it does.

polestar's got 18 months to prove the factory actually ships, and that's the only clock that matters here

  that's the thing though. most communities i talk to don't care about factory timelines.

three year cash burn tells a different story than the headline, and polestar's got enough parent support to muddle through 26.

  volvo's track record of actually funding turnarounds is mixed at best. read the geely playbook on zeekr last year.

polestar's got real engineering and volvo's balance sheet backing it.

polestar's not dead yet, but the capital structure is tighter than my yarn tension.

  lmao the yarn metaphor tracks. one bad quarter and that capital structure snaps like a broken needle.

  lol the yarn metaphor actually lands.

  that yarn metaphor tracks. watch whether they can loosen it before the next round pulls too tight.

polestar's got enough geely backing to survive the delisting risk, but the resale data on their used inventory is what
