I don’t really see the point of this. It’s just adding complexity for the sake of it. As far as I can tell when you change gear it just changes some software parameters, there are no physical gears. Yet there’s a clutch and the ability to stall?

    Yeah, unless there is a performance benefit, it’s just a potential for problems. Theoretically, an electric motor could be designed with the rpm and torque output of an ICE where a manual transmission would be beneficial for a car. Electronically simulating a transmission is ridiculous.

      Honestly most electric motors dont reach peak power until they get to high RPM… a transmission does still make sense if youre not using a tesla motor made to run at like 18k rpm. Why simulate it?
