If you made an electric conversion and used an induction motor it could still be stick! Induction motors have a narrow range of useful rmps so the transmission is still needed!
My issue with automatics is that there’s a lack of control. It’s trying to be smart about changing gears and yet never ends up doing what I want. It’s like the throttle is going over a bad internet connection.
Because there are no gears to switch I don’t have that issue in electric cars, it even feels better than a manual: Smooth torque curve and instant throttle response.
The perfect truth of this meme is why I can never own an electric car.
What is that retro-looking thing on the right?
(Also why are my question marks getting cut off? I typed 9 of them but only 3 show up.)
