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?

    It makes no sense for EV sports cars. Manuals on ICE cars make sense because being able to chose exactly when the car shifts is important and because sequential shift and dual clutch transmissions are extremely expensive.

        How so? Would you mind explaining your reasoning because I honestly can’t think of a good reason to put fake stick shifts in EVs. From my point of view it’s the automotive equivalent of putting subway suffers clips on the bottom half of a tiktok.
