Yeah sorry Clyde, but you’re wrong. In a world where all of the interactivity is being deleted, the answer isn’t “well, what good is the last vestige of interactivity, anyway?”
The problem, fundamentally, is that the virtue that ICE cars with flappy or auto gearboxes are chasing is smoothness, being in the right gear, anticipating what the driver needs...and EVs do that better. So if I can’t shift my own gears, why settle for a dim simulacrum of an EV, when I could just buy an EV instead?
I don’t understand sports cars with automatics. I just don’t. It’s stupid. There’s one reason to spend money on a sports car, and that is to have fun driving. An automatic is not fun. Or, more precisely, it removes one more potential fun vector. In a world where fun vectors have mostly dropped to zero, why give up the last one? And if you’re going to give up the last one, do it right and stop burning gas.
