It’s kind of like an older sibling that picks on you but loses their shit if someone else tries to.

1. Who are they talking about?
2. I hope they never get a partner because who know where their lips have been too

(Thinking through that last one they probably want a “pure” virgin)

Do you want another Rodney King? Because that’s how you get another Rodney King.

Still better than the Pontiac Chevy Aztec

Edit: wrong GM brand

Why is that? It’s not an efficiency thing, EVs are far more efficient than and manual will ever be. It’s not a shift thing, humans haven’t been able to outshift automatics for quite a while and EVs don’t have gears. The only think I ever hear is a flimsy “soul” thing, which frankly EVs give power to masses more than any Mustang GT could. Hell, Hyundai started putting in fake “gear shifts” into their EVs for people who wanted that.

Yeah the nice thing about EV motors, they can vary their power output hundreds of times per second so they don’t need a transmission as it can basically do everything a transmission can right from the motor. Some cars even put the motor in the wheel so you don’t need a drive axle. Overall the mechanical complexity of EVs are greatly reduced.

For an EV conversion it makes sense that you’d lock things to a single gear as you wouldn’t want to stress out the transmission from sudden power variances.

manual transmission EV

For what reason? Almost all EVs only have a single gear. The high performance ones will have two as most and that’s well into the triple digit mph. Reverse doesn’t require seperate gearing either.

Willful negligence is still as bad if not worse than Ignorance

Here’s the why in case anyone is wondering. It’s not a global issue.

I mean their 4th paragraph is valid. The rest though… yeesh

Edit: my reading comprehension sucks. I missed the very last sentence of it
