toyota ev with fake manual

Yea I read about it. Kinda laughed since it really won't feel like a manual at all. doubt they can actually make a functional one considering the drivetrain is totally different in an EV and the cost of engineering something real in an EV would not be cost effective since the manual transmission is slowly dying and will eventually be dead and buried in ICE vehicles.

You sure this is real? You're sourcing CNN, after all!

So toyota is working on producing a EV with a fake Manual transmission. it serves no purpose other then to feel like a manual.

kinda funny, how about just make it funtional.

How is this any different than piped in engine noise?

They should put an actual transmission in it to reduce start up load.

Technically they have single speed transmissions, which reduce the motor speed to the wheels depending on need, providing much quicker torque to the wheels…
