    The delay between the bursts of acceleration when shifting gears give the driver an anticipatory boost of adrenaline each shift. Clunking or slamming into gear is very tactile and feels good.

    With a clutch, yeah changing gears is pretty cool. Flipper paddles on an automatic isn’t like that at all though, which is what this EV shifting thing sounds like.

      Yeah, to do it right would involve a lot of silly unnecessary stuff (like a stick shifter) just to make it feel good.
