minus-squaredan1101@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·edit-21 year agoYeah I’m aware. There is mostly no reason for EVs to shift, but Toyota was trying to add a manual transmission to an EV for some reason. But “you’re shifting it wrong” would be a scenario like the car wouldn’t shift from P to D and Apple blames the driver.
