Why do you keep saying it can’t be disabled? I’ve said time and time again that you don’t need to use it. Just keep it off, it drives like any other electric car with a single “gear”. The drivers that enjoy the feature use it, and the drivers that don’t care for the gears leave it off. Or, more likely, drivers sometimes use it because it’s fun, and sometimes don’t if they just want a relaxing drive.
Regarding Nissan (which shouldn’t matter, we are talking about Hyundai and Porsche), a quick google search shows that they are an optional feature. Do you have a source for Nissan forcing the use of paddle shifters?
The paddle shifters on the 5N aren’t fake either. They are functional. They allow you to simulate gear shifting, feeling all the acceleration changes along the way (you know, the thing that makes driving fun)
If you think that’s dumb, then fine. Luckily they aren’t designing features specifically for you. They are designing features that people think are neat after using them. Based on all the reviews I’ve seen, every single person that was skeptical about the tech, drove the car, and realized it was a lot more fun than expected.
I never said that. I said I don’t know that it can be disabled. And once again saying that it’s a worrying trend.
Why do you keep ignoring the bit about the added costs and stupid pointless hardware?

My guy, do you not understand how examples work? We’re not talking about Nissan, we’re talking about large swathes of the automotive industry. Nissan, Honda, Subaru, Mazda, etc. etc. all have these shitty CVTs with fake shifting.

Your Google search deceives you.

That was not about paddle shifters, that was about the transmission…

Then why are you arguing with me?
