Anyone else bored with Tesla drivers 'racing' them?

This is actually pretty close to what I've experienced. I'm two weeks into Polestar 2 ownership (and have a 992 C2S); the Polestar, which isn't anywhere near as accelerative as some Tesla's, still absolutely surprises people with its immediacy, I have had absolutely no loss of traction so far at all, and trust be I've tried. Nothing. Literally, a clumsy stamp on the throttle and you are gone, not even a squeak from the tyres. Damp conditions, similar, no loss of traction experienced at all (but not driven it quite as hard). Very weird / impressive / dull / funny, depending on mood.

My friend followed me a couple of nights ago in his 2019 V8 Mustang (450bhp?). Turning right on a large roundabout, with a clear dual carriageway ahead, I just clumsily stamped on the throttle just past the apex and I'm gone, must have put 500-600yds on him over a mile and a half and that's with me backing off before silly speeds were reached. He was stunned, couldn't believe how it went off the roundabout and how much air it put between us. Apparently he fluffed a gear change..... I swear it would keep the 992 honest, it is very impressive and very very easy. The Tesla Plaid must be just insane.

Adaptive cruise - ghost braking - yeah it does that and I get quite embarrassed by it, especially when you move back from the outside to middle lane, and it gets spooked by a 56mph HGV on the inside. I feel I need to apologise to drivers behind me. Never had adaptive cruise before, so guessing its not just an EV thing. The adaptive cruise does seem help getting the range out of it, and its extremely relaxing for daily duties.

Nah VW adaptive cruise systems work welll
