I was having a good morning.
Here you go, and electric Toyota with a make believe computer game manual transmission.
I cant read the article..i dont have the CNN app...but that sounds like one of the absolute dumbest things ive ever heard. Right up there with dodges fake engine noise on the EV chargers.

See my previous post re: experience borrowing my buddys S Plaid.I don't see how a manual wouldn't make a difference with an ev..
Running an RC car wide open is gonna kill its battery way quicker than just putting around with it.. why the difference?
This is kinda my point.. instead of a single "gear" and needing to spin its motor/s at 15k rpm or whatever they spin to do 70mph.. why wouldn't the addition of more gears to bring cruising rpm down help?Batteries dont last very long at full lumens, stays on for days on lowest setting....
I suspect the added weight and parasitic drag from the driveline components would reduce the efficiency enough to make it a moot point. Plus you can use multiple smaller motors instead of one larger one reducing the needed HP since the motor can be effectively hooked directly to a wheel.This is kinda my point.. instead of a single "gear" and needing to spin its motor/s at 15k rpm or whatever they spin to do 70mph.. why wouldn't the addition of more gears to bring cruising rpm down help?

They just bolt it to the transmission with custom adapter plate...and mentioned they just leave in 2nd gear to drive.This is kinda my point.. instead of a single "gear" and needing to spin its motor/s at 15k rpm or whatever they spin to do 70mph.. why wouldn't the addition of more gears to bring cruising rpm down help?
