Your statement is utterly incorrect. 1) Electric v. ICE? No contest. Electric wins. Not at dispute. 2) "Manual Transmission" v. "Eco-Junk Software". Pleas

Your statement is utterly incorrect. 1) Electric v. ICE? No contest. Electric wins. Not at dispute. 2) "Manual Transmission" v. "Eco-Junk Software". Please see the following: https://www.motorbiscuit.com/does-sport-mode-really-do-anything/ https://www.motorbiscuit.com/does-sport-mode-really-do-anyth... At a minimum, some "fly-by-wire" automatic ICE cars default to an "eco" mode which significantly impacts throttle (gas) responsiveness. No doubt ECO mode does something well, and no doubt that modern automatic transmissions shift well. My original statement was: "Electric (very responsive) => Manual (...) => Automatic (perceived unresponsiveness of ICE engines)" Almost nobody is a race car driver, but the fly-by-wire in some ICE cars definitely affects driving feel in a way that is different than both manual transmission ICE and electric cars.
