I usually see them on 141 in Duluth/John's Creek/Alpharetta area. Saw two today on the way home.

Anyone else experience the same? Maybe its a Toronto thing but seems like Tesla drivers are itching to prove how fast their cars are.

Nothing against Teslas, fantastic cars just not my cup of tea.
Tons here in Austin. Never had one tried to race and I drive it 365. Having gone on long road trips I think some cities are more into the street racing scene than others. Right after I picked it up, Detroit, I immediately had a Lambo, multiple bikes etc trying to race me. In Austin its the occasional Mustang, Dodge or ricer.

Lastly, making eye contact with the other driver has a lot to do with it. I try not to do that as it can instigate the situation. ; )
