I have considered putting a banner like this on my old manual compact. I get post-it notes and flyers asking me to sell every other month.

Yeah the window seals are going moss, but I'll convert that thing to EV before selling, and I'm seriously considering conversion.

Manual transmission EV would be nice...

manual transmission EV

For what reason? Almost all EVs only have a single gear. The high performance ones will have two as most and that’s well into the triple digit mph. Reverse doesn’t require seperate gearing either.

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

[–] ramble81@lemm.ee 4 points 4 weeks ago

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.
