There’s no shortage of things to be angry about these days, and let’s be honest—it gets the best of all of us now and then. Nevertheless, when you’re behind the wheel, keeping your emotions in check isn’t just good manners; it’s basic safety. When things spiral, you end up with situations like this: a Lexus driver pulling what appears to be a holstered firearm on a Tesla driver in broad daylight.

The original clip was posted by an X account called DonaldTNews. In it, we see a Lexus LX600 driver pull up alongside a Tesla. This isn’t just any Tesla either; it’s the Cybertruck, which, like everything Elon-related, has become wildly divisive. The Lexus driver appears to shout at the Cybertruck’s occupants while they’re moving along a highway. He even goes so far as to wag his finger at them like a disappointed gym teacher.

He then drives slightly into the Tesla’s lane and appears to attempt to hit the Cybertruck. Things only get crazier from here. After dropping back in traffic momentarily, the Lexus driver speeds up again and this time points something out the window at the Tesla. It’s hard to make out, but it appears to be a firearm, perhaps with a holster on the business end.

Others have surmised that it’s actually a stun gun of some sort due to its boxy nature. Nevertheless, it appears to be a firearm of sorts, and Texas, where this video seems to be from, is well-known for its gun-friendly population. Finally, the Lexus driver appears to intentionally swerve toward the Cybertruck before sitting behind it long enough for the video to end.

It’s worth noting that there’s no way of knowing whether the Cybertruck driver did something that infuriated the one in the LX600h. However, there is nothing they could’ve done short of perhaps hitting the Lexus and trying to run that would make the Lexus driver’s reaction anything close to reasonable.

Considering the current political noise surrounding Elon Musk, Tesla, and the recent fallout from Musk’s connections to Trump’s administration, the incident could’ve been sparked by something far more inane.

Road rage is just about as pointless as on-road behaviors go. In this day and age, they’re even more so because tons of cars have onboard cameras built in. At the time of this writing, several people online are trying to help authorities track down the Lexus driver, and for what? They achieved nothing with their antics. Stay safe out there, folks.

Lexus has been developing a steer-by-wire system for several years now, but rather than rushing it to the market, has taken its sweet time to perfect it. It appears that’s exactly what it’s done with the facelifted 2026 Lexus RZ, confirming it will launch with steer-by-wire. The updated model also premieres with simulated gear shifts, that promise to make the driving experience a little more engaging.

So far, the Japanese brand has only released European specifications for the 2026 RZ, with details for the North American model still pending.The base model is known as the RZ 350e and features a single electric motor at the front axle with 224 hp (167 kW) and 198 lb-ft (269 Nm) of torque. A 77 kWh battery pack comes standard across the range, with Lexus estimating a driving range of up to 357 miles (575 km) for the RZ 350e.

Performance Variants

A pair of more performance-focused variants have also been announced. The first is badged the RZ 500e and packs two electric motors that combine to deliver 375 hp (280 kW), propelling it to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 4.6 seconds. This model has an estimated range of 311 miles (500 km).

New to the range for the 2026 model year is the RZ 550e F Sport, which produces 402 hp (300 kW) and accelerates to 100 km/h in just 4.4 seconds. As expected, the increased performance comes at the expense of range, which drops to 280 miles (450 km).

Steer-by-Wire

Perhaps the biggest headline of the 2026 RZ is that it now comes with a complete steer-by-wire system. We tested a prototype of this system back in 2023, and it’s now ready for prime time. The system is paired with a yoke steering wheel and features variable steering ratios, with no physical connection between the yoke and the front wheels.

Simulated Gears

Lexus also appears to have taken inspiration from Hyundai and Kia by implementing a synthetic shifting system into the new RZ. Lexus calls this system the Interactive Manual Drive, and it has been paired with simulated engine sounds. According to the brand, this setup “delivers a sportier, more responsive driving feel, offering greater engagement and driving pleasure.” We’ll have to see about that when we get a chance to drive the new RZ.

Market-specific pricing details for the 2026 RZ have not been confirmed. The US version should be announced in the not-too-distant future.
