Where's my manual electric car?!

What do you mean electric motors have no transmissions?!

I do like manual transmissions but I will happily drive my electric car with no transmission.

If I want to go faster it just goes faster, and faster, and faster. No lag, just faster.

They do though, it's just that most are single speed reduction boxes (unless you've got a Taycan).

Electric motion makes an electric trial motorcycle with a clutch!

Best I can do 🤷
