I’m stuck on this personally. I love my manual, I have a tiny little Mazda 2 and I have driven that thing absolutely everywhere because I can control it better than any automatic I’ve ever driven. But I’ve been casually looking for a new car and I’d love to have an electric, but I don’t want to lose that level of control and everything I love about a manual.
What do you all think? What’s your take?
I have an EV and a truck with a manual. I love them both.
Every time I swap back to my EV I’m shocked (no pun intended) by how immediate the response from the accelerator is. There’s no delay for air to flow, revs to build, nothing… Just instant, push you back into the seat torque.
That being said, I also fully expect my Toyota to outlast my Tesla lol
