    Having the instant torque & responsive handling can make it seem like all the other cars are stuck in slow motion...

    100% true. Tesla has ruined me for ICE power. Now my only interest in ICE is for track driving. Tesla for the roads, GT3 and Radical for the track.

    Very true. Every once in a while some kid in a jacked up diesel truck or 5.0 Mustang will get too close to my rear bumper on purpose. A quick stab of the throttle leaves them receding quickly into the background. When they pull up at the next light, several seconds after me, they try, really try, not to make eye contact. The usually fail and give the Model X the once over.

    Ya, tailgaters are the worst annoyance, so into the background they go, wondering where was that guy who I was pestering?
