I took a trip to San Diego a couple of weeks ago and I saw a Tesla on the way. It made me think how much of a hassle it would be because you can't just simply stop at the gas station like a gas car.

I encountered an immature Tesla S driver today. I was driving my IS350 F Sport in a hurry to my destination and this Tesla S came up next to me at a stop light after I passed him earlier. Once the lights turned green, he shoot out like a lightning showing me how much faster his Tesla is than my Lexus. 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.
immature Tesla driver? Road rage? wth

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.
I don't inject my own presumptions out of the blue. I leave room for any scenarios like you say but you are literally making stuff up.

Not making anything up, which is why I prefaced my statement with could've. OP could have (or have not) left details out, which is why we will never know. 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?
peronsally, i think it's ridiculous that the OP called the guy immature with no basis other than that his Tesla was faster and that he imagined some kind of road rage situation but didn't want to go there because his Lexus couldn't hang.
i think that's lame and I'm callin it out. Deal with it.

Lol you two 
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?

People don't know cars. It's funny....
Tesla P85d - performance pack has 687 tq. The car has one gear. All that TQ is on demand. D stands for dual motors. The mode like sport + for us is called insane mode on a tesla for a reason. It dips!!! YouTube it. It's faster than an Ferrari.
It's literally the most technologically advanced car on the road.
I love my lex more than anything I've ever owned / built. But you've been out classed via a motor and car. It's a no brainier to get spanked in a street race.
