I think the point in this car is that they have enough torque to spin the tires at any of those speeds where they've had to "nerf it" to make things smooth. Once you're at that point might as well take advantage of it to simplify. A transmission wouldn't add anything except maybe some efficiency which they don't care much about given the application.
