That's also the point to the transmission. A transmission (on the low end) is to enhance acceleration and efficiency (keeping you at an ideal ratio to maintain the speed you're going). Neither of these are issues when you have a flatter torque curve. Another comment said the efficiency gain on the Taycan is 5% over not having it. Which is about what I would've expected to see, not much for all the added complexity and reliability issues it introduces.
