I replaced my Tesla model with a 3 BYD stamp. I no longer want anything to do with Elon Musk.

• Kevin Bond bought the Tesla 3 model with money from his pension after he left.

• 5 years later, he replaced him with a Stalp after he became awkward by Elon Musk’s actions.

• Bond said the stamp is faster and better built than 3, with a more beautiful interior.

This essay is based on a conversation with Kevin Bond, who has retired the Mental Health Services Director from Devon, the UK, about its Tesla 3 replacement by BYD stamp. It was edited due to length and clarity.

I lived in Devon for three years. Now I am retired, but I was the director of mental health services and the CEO of a non -profit health and social care company.

I bought a Tesla 3 model 3 2020 when I retired from a one -time amount you get with my wife’s professional pension.

We sold it about three months ago. It just felt really uncomfortable that one of our money Centas would be going to happen anywhere near Elon Musk.

I have always been a bit uncomfortable with musk, but over time my wife and I have become anxiously troubled.

I think there is a point where he is not only unpleasant and you believe this guy is actively creating hatred and division among people.

When [Southport] The riot happened, it seemed like he liked the flame. It is completely uncomfortable for me and I do not want to be related to it.

I think he crossed the line. His support for extreme right parties in Germany and the spread of misinformation is simply shameful.

3 Model troubles

If I am honest, I never really liked the model 3.

It was not denied that when we first entered, it was interesting. You lowered the leg and it goes very fast. But it was not very convenient for me.

The seats were not well made and the interior was cheap and unpleasant. Many important parameters were adjusted on the screen screen, so your eyes were off the road when they had to be on the road.

The door was not so well tailored, so you created quite a lot of salon noise, and after a couple of years the suspension started to sip heavily.

It just felt cheap. Personally, I did not think it was very good.

Initially, the service was appropriate, but a few years later the answer was scary. This is probably the worst service I have ever had from any car dealer.

When we sold Tesla, he had the worst depreciation of any car I ever belonged to. We sold it for a little over £ 10,000 [$13,500] After buying it for nearly £ 50,000.

[Tesla did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Business Insider.]

Buy Byd

When we started looking for a new car, I thought we would have a compromise.

We found that there are quite a few cars that caught and overtook Tesla for both quality, but also for the range and price.

We received the BYD stamp around the same time as we sold Tesla. We bought a former demonstrator’s vehicle that was year old.

It’s faster than Tesla – it accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.8 seconds – and has a longer range. You can also charge it up to 100% without damaging the battery.

It’s just a nicely parked car and very comfortable. If you close the door, they go as they should, and there is no wind noise in the cabin.

These include ambient lighting, ventilation seats and Head-up screens-all you can expect in the car you pay for a lot of money.

It is difficult to find things that are to blame for it. The media system is a bit rude and gloomy, and it is a small slower charge. However, we do most of our charging home and, when the stamp is higher, the slower charging time is not really a problem.

It is beautiful on the road. You would place it through the corner so I wouldn’t go to Tesla. It feels safe and feels strong.

If I could give scores, I would give by BYD nine out of ten and probably one in ten Tesla.
