I’m stuck on this personally. I love my manual, I have a tiny little Mazda 2 and I have driven that thing absolutely everywhere because I can control it better than any automatic I’ve ever driven. But I’ve been casually looking for a new car and I’d love to have an electric, but I don’t want to lose that level of control and everything I love about a manual.
What do you all think? What’s your take?
What a weird nitpicky thing to argue about. Sure you can start a manual by easing off the clutch properly but that’s obviously not what we’re talking about. We’re talking about the differences between driving manual and electric and that’s clearly the use-case people will have 95%+ of their driving time. What do you think you’re adding to this conversation?
He’s not arguing? Why so negative, that’s a good tip. I wish someone told me that when I was learning, I just sort of figured it out later.
They’re being pedantic when the main takeaway is “it’s more complicated” and this person is going “well, actually… You do X, not Y (in this chain of events that’s still more complicated than just pressing the gas pedal)”.
Is being pedantic a sin here? I see nothing to suggest that they disagree with the overall point, they just want to build a more complete picture.
I could just be overly optimistic about their intentions though
