Toyota has built an EV with a fake transmission, and we’ve driven it - eviltoast
Five minutes behind the wheel, and you'll be a believer.

It sounds bizarre but I want to try it.

    Perhaps but this is a fake transmission. Basically an engine & manual transmission simulator.

    I admire the execution and no doubt it is more fun than being without. It seems weird and impractical too. For now I have a car with a manual trans but maybe one day I will be glad for having such an option in an EV. Or maybe I will think it is silly. I’m kind of confused in the feelings department right now lol.

      indeed, I don’t feel like I’m contributing in any automatic but having a fake gear shifter would feel worse I suspect.
