Default Obvious Jolt on 'D' at Car Start-up

For those who own a 2014 Lexus GS 350 F Sport, I wonder If you have the same phenomenon as me. When I start up my car and put it on "D" I feel an obvious jolt. My e-Brake is on Auto so when I put it on Drive, it releases the E-Brake for me. I believe it is something with the e-brake and the rpm goes higher when you put it on "D" Does anyone have this problem?

do you let it idle for a min. or do you start it and shift into "D" right away. I usually start it and let the RPM's drop down under 1k and then take off - no noticeable jolt here and mine is a 2014 F-Sport RWD.

I have a 2014 Gs350 Rwd with luxury package and mines shift into D buttery smooth. But of course I always warm up my car with remote starter every morning before I leave.
this jolt sensation you feel remines me of my fathers 2010 Toyota Camry which will jolt comeing into D and out of D to P.

The is normal if you don't warm up it will jump I've had it happen to me but when I let it sit a little the car is normal so I consider this normal since my 3GS did this as well.
