Polestar stock news
Industry leader Tesla (TSLA) had a rough day of trading as the stock lost 4.1% on Thursday to underperform the broader markets. The reason? Tesla announced an unexpected recall for more than 1.1 million vehicles that have issues with the retraction of automatic windows. Thankfully, the issue will be resolved through a downloadable software update, so the costs to the company should be minimal.
Rental car company Hertz is adding another well-known automotive brand to its new fleet of electric vehicles. Joining the likes of Tesla and Polestar will be legacy automaker General Motors (GM). The two sides announced a partnership earlier this week that will see Hertz order 175,000 electric vehicles from GM by 2027. Hertz already offers the Polestar 2 at select dealerships around the world.
