>> But instead of mechanical linkages, the system uses electronic signals to adjust the EV’s driving feedback based on how the driver moves the stick.
That’s pathetic.
Along the lines of fake motor sounds that Dodge has for their electric muscle cars.
What’s next? A recording of a roaring V8?...............
“That’s pathetic”
Indeed.
I still have my 1982 Econoline with a m/t [last year] and a 1990 Suburban m/t [last year in the US].
I also have two 2005 VW Turbo Diesel m/ts and two 18/19 VW s/w m/t AWD turbo gas vehicles.
I hope that we all live a long life and I don’t have to buy another vehicle.
I took my old Chevy (see my home page) to a wedding recently. Valet parking had only one person who could drive a stick.
My wife’s subaru has a “10 speed” CVT. There are shift points programmed into the CVT that simulates the transmission “shifting”. You can even put the stick in manual and use the paddle shifters...on a CVT.
It seemed silly when we bought it but it works well and the car is awesome.
BEYOND PATHETIC.
I LOVE MY 1976 1 ton 4 speed dually 454, with Granny low.
So Ford has reinvented the Paddle Shifters?
What. Ever.
