It's the kind of car you lease or buy new, run for two or three years then get out.
I read somewhere that 80% of the parts are model specific. You will always be tied into Volvo with one for servicing and when they call time you have probably until the stock runs out for spares. Cracking car though unfortunately my annual mileage has just gone up so I will only get one if I can persuade the family to give up bricks and mortar and buy into the mobile lifestyle.

That's for the mainstream cars, can't see them enforcing it for a one off special edition which accounts for less than 1% of sales. They could sink companies when there are specialist components which fit no other spec. in the range.
Try pricing up a front set of disks, pads and callipers for a Polestar S/V60. If they are sold out 8 years after the last car goes out the showroom would they really have to retool the supplier to produce another batch ? Would you want to buy such spare parts with that additional cost ? It may be legislation but the market would probably say you know what, at that price you can keep it mate.

I would expect things like the brakes and suspension to be standard items from a specialist manufacture anyway. Try Pistonheads ads in a few years time, people will still be raving over them.

The original run was for 50 cars for Australia. A quick look on Autotrader shows 8. A look in Howmanyleft.co.uk has 32 in 2014 and 69 in 2015 V60s there are no S60s listed so must be able to count those on your fingers. Given they were offered in: Canada, the Netherlands, Japan, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom, and United States there might have been 501 made to meet the standards. It would be interesting if anyone with a Polestar can verify the CoC date from their V5C and compare that with a standard V60. My S60 has a Spanish e9 type approval code from week 46 in 2007.

I'd still be interested in seeing what CoC these cars have been registered with.
If they are all registered on the same CoC or if the Polestar is a separate 'model' if so then you get your 10 years parts guarantee otherwise I suspect there will be some agreement whereby x% of all parts have to be available. The 50 cars for Australia was the initial run in 2013. Given those 750 cars are headed for 4/7 markets outside the EU, will the EU rules for 10 year parts support still apply ?

You can still buy parts for the P1800 and there aren't a lot of those around either.

What you are saying is if they sell 300 Polestar's in all EU markets and 500 in Saudi Arabia and the US respectively a local Volvo dealer in the Upper Ribble valley NW England has to have access to RHD parts for a car he might never see ten years after production for a total of 1,500 cars ? Combine that with Volvo's struggle to get the average emissions across the whole range down to 95g/km in the next four years to see why Volvo might have a problem on their hands considering their biggest sellers are a medium and a large SUV.

Volvo have said they are increasing production due to demand so there will be a significant number on the road before production ceases some time in the future. I can think of many sports orientated cars with small production runs still on the road after many years.
