- WrongOnInternet 8mo agoWhat would the gear shifter even do though?
- warmwaffles 8mo agoPut it in drive, neutral, park, or reverse. Same as an automatic.
- breadwinner 8mo agoSame as what it did in the original Tesla cars. They only removed the stalks recently.
- sschueller 8mo agoTesla is the one that started this and cost who knows how many lives. They are the ones who thought it would be great to re-invent the wheel and then when the moron execs at the other companies saw the hype they had to copy it.
- alternatex 8mo agoThe execs probably got promotions for it considering the money saved. The real morons are the customers buying these cars. Brand loyalists don't buy based on logical reasoning.
- vardump 8mo agoAgreed about the signal stalk. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the last I've seen the signal stalk is back in Teslas, at least in Model Y, but I believe in newer Model 3s as well. But "gear shifter"? It doesn't really require a stalk. When you start, you select either D or R. Not a big deal. And when you stop, I think most (all?) EVs even automatically go to P and apply parking brakes when you stop. I think that already covers 99% of driving for 99% of people.
