True. But I am a big Lexus fan and just want them to build better performance cars.

I’m with you on that, I turned in my IS350 yesterday so it’s the first time in 15 years I haven’t had a lexus in my driveway. In fact the past 15 years before last year we always had 2 Lexus’ in our driveway as daily drivers.

Very few cars beat Tesla's performance models.

Yes. Good car. But rushing them to get out is scary.....build now, fix later = not good
