Without Tesla Power charge station you roughly get 30 miles per hour of charge.... That doubles with the peer station... Can you imagine it taking 4 hours to fill you gas tank???

I didn't want to get into the road raging confrontation and I knew the Tesla S was probably faster.

Afterwards I went online to check how fast the Tesla S is and guess what...... 0-60 at 4.2 seconds according to the website, that time destroys the BMW 335i as well as making this thing a beast for an electric car. This is quite embarrassing that a plug in electrical car can pull on so many sports car out there.

I just wished my IS350 was in the 4 seconds range that would probably feel more rewarding.

sounds like you are taking something personal that you shouldn't be. I don't get it.

if he wants to take off from a light to show off the speed of his car, how is this immature?

and why are you even thinking about road rage confrontation. how about just give the guy a thumbs up and say "right on man".

if his car is faster than his car is faster. it doesn't have to be embarrassing for you in Lexus that cost half the price. why does everyone take things so personally.

the op told a story that did not include any of those behaviors from the Tesla driver. he said that the driver took off like a lighting bolt to prove his Tesla was faster than the Lexus. Calling him immature and talking about trying to avoid a road rage incident for that?

and for the record... i never said I was mad at the OP. I will say though, that it seems the OP took that scenario personally and shouldn't have.

The fact that you are the only person to point to the term "immature" and dedicate a whole post to it (to a post that's 9 months nonetheless), shows that no one in the thread minded it, except you, which leads me to say: why you taking it so personally when he calls the other driver immature, when you shouldn't care what he calls that driver?

Tesla might have thought OP was being immature by being in such a hurry, and went immature right back at him. Not saying it was immature, IMO it wasn't. One thing we learned is that Tesla was way faster and IS350 got left in the dust, immature or not. Since when did we ever care about feelings in here?
