  • This is the Guardian.

  • Today, as protests against Elon Musk spread, could the pressure force him to step away from Trump?

  • I think it was about around 2012 when the Tesla Roadster came into Switzerland and a friend of mine,

  • he bought one.

  • So we made a test drive and it was like from the beginning I knew that's the future.

  • Mike Schweidy is an entrepreneur based between Zurich and London.

  • 2016.

  • I finally bought a Tesla Model S.

  • It was amazing.

  • It felt so good to drive in this car.

  • People on the streets really liked it.

  • Got so many thumbs up.

  • So it felt like you're driving this future dream car now.

  • It just feels awful.

  • Don't really like to get in my car anymore.

  • And in three weeks we will drive to France.

  • I don't know what will happen.

  • Maybe we'll burn one night.

  • And at the same time, for me, it doesn't feel good anymore.

  • Mike is feeling some buyer's remorse.
