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?

    I agree 100% that my EV felt like driving a computer, which itself was driving the car.

    Weird thing is I liked it. It was like driving a really good computer, that drove my car really well.

    I can understand why people hate it. It’s deeply strange how certain kinds of normal car feedback is missing.

    Speculating a bit, I doubt that retrofitting a manual transmission will help with that strangeness.

    But I bet it’ll be a hit with folks like me who don’t mind it, and also loved manual transmission cars.

    I feel like I’m a very niche audience though. Most people who I have met who love a manual transmission hated the way my EV drove.
