      After reading the article, I agree.

      If you’re going to put a stick shift in an electric car, at least make it functional, instead of just hindering the performance of the car. (Like have each gear control a different-sized motor* or something.)

      This is just as dumb as CVTs that do fake shifts, thanks to idiots who freak out when they see their engine holding a certain RPM 'cause they don’t understand how they work. Reminds me of the early days of the automobile where they considered attaching a fake horse head to the front of the vehicle:

      The one positive thing patents do is prevent every single manufacturer from independently flooding the market with the same brain dead idea.
