    I hate automatics. The fact all EVs are automatic puts me off of them.

      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.

      Most EVs aren’t automatic, but rather they literally don’t have a transmission. They don’t have gears to switch between.
