Fake manual transmission is basically like playing a simulator.

    I always figured I’d have to give up my manual for an electric car at some point, even if it’s fake I’d still prefer that to just driving an automatic. I don’t really care about engine noise though

      Electrics aren’t automatic, they have continuous transmissions, there are no distinct gears. It’s not bad, you get used to it.

          EVs don’t have CVTs. They don’t have a transmission at all. Even the reverse is just the engine spinning opposite. The engine is connected directly to the drive shaft.

          I think the previous poster means that from a driver perspective they operate the same as a CVT. But it’s not. It’s just a battery, an engine, a drive shaft and wheels.

            Then I guess it’s a good thing I didn’t say EVs have CVTs then, isn’t it?

            Don’t argue with something I didn’t even say, homie. I was pointing out that a CVT is in fact a type of automatic transmission, nothing more.
