People used to say they would only get a Tesla if it was offered with a manual transmission.

It's easy to laugh at, but there are still many people who haven't shifted, in their mind, to the differences.

Even after driving EVs for over a decade, I still need to shift. My habit is to turn the car off and close the garage inside the car. My new EV only controls the garage if it's on, so I had to get used to closing the garage with the car on. There's still a part of my brain that screams "but carbon monoxide" every time I do it.

I switch between manual and automatic cars pretty easily and I would definitely notice that my car weighs two and a half tons while driving it.
