    It if is a toggle feature, fine. But I kind of dont see the point. Like, I daily-drive stick shift but when I had automatic, the best fucking part was that it would speed up seamlessly and smoothly with a nice even motor sound. No jiggling, chugging or anything. Just a smooth easy ride. Why would anyone want stick shift in an automatic? Bemuses me.

      Porsches are drivers’ cars. They’re mostly not about smoothness and “making sense to own”.

      A toggle would be good.

      Cars with automatic gears are more efficient than manual ones. I fear a fake manual gear system would decrease efficiency, so it may be best to disable it.

        It doesn’t decrease efficiency since it isn’t a transmission! They probably just gradually reduce torque once you reach a certain speed in a given gear. The electric motor doesn’t car about that.
