I disagree fundamentally, but I’m done with this pointless argument

I see no point in EVs as anything more than a commute vehicle. They’re not fun to drive, they’re soulless and they’re boring. They offer nothing but a reduction in quality and experience in driving.

There’s no argument for a go pedal being fun. A lack of gears is not something I’m ever interested in. Even an automatic still has gearing and it’s still an integral part of driving one.
