From the vast number of reviews I've seen it seems like if you can get past the range and price, its not bad but overall seems like an overall meh/sub-par EV and vehicle. I think the Tesla even with its many "quirks" is still the best EV out there, especially in regards to charging infrastructure and EV drivetrains. I would just wait, I assume the issue with delivery is the chip shortage as these cars are so tech heavy. The Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Kia EV6 though look to be the best new competitors that have my interest so far. I also enjoyed the Mach-E although looks to share typical first year Ford issues, and the VW iD4 is beyond lackluster.

Also Volvo has done a terrible job marketing these cars. I saw one Polestar 2 a year ago (with a broken fog light nonetheless) and that is it. No one knows these cars exist, they separated them from the now revitalized Volvo nameplate, and they aren't selling them at the hundreds of dealers that Volvo just put a ton of money into. I assume you can get them serviced there but the overall talk about the Polestar 2 has been pretty much non-existent.
