like Elon would ever put a trans in his car
I didn’t want to be that guy, but there’s no gears to shift in an EV so you’re correct there’s no transmission.
I was referring to a (hypothetical) trans person
It’s a cismission (but he just calls it “normal.”)
Good thing is that you will get total control over your car
How does a “transmission” work in an electric vehicle?
While it’s rare, they do exist. Primary example being the Porsche Taycan with its 2-speed transmission.
Additionally, any EV conversion of an ICE vehicle where the electric motor is placed in front of the drivetrain can also take advantage of a transmission.
You can still have multiple gears if you attach a gear box to the electric motor. Some BEVs already do that.
The same way it works in any vehicle with a motor and a transmission. The motor connects to the input shaft of the transmission, runs through some gears, and the output shaft spins at a different speed from the input shaft.
Sure, but EVs don’t have transmissions in the same way as ICE vehicles. If they have a transmission at all, it’s virtually always a single-speed transmission with no gears to shift. Electric motors basically output maximum torque from 0 to some max speed, so there’s no need to shift gears to keep in in a sweet spot. They just need to reduce the speed because the motor runs at a higher rpm than the tires.
High performance EVs actually have multiple gears due to the sheer amount of power they can lay down. Smaller ones may not need it but you definitely need it with more powerful ones.
I’m not aware of any electric car that has more than two gears.
Probably similarly to how this joke worked on you.
Honestly feels like a fun manual gearbox. I wish that symbol wasn’t forever ruined.
oh, yeah, in some parts of the Philippines it’s the symbol of an octopus and fishermen paint it in their boats
Where? I just want to learn more. What is this symbol called there
Exclusively on the ModelSS?
People who drive teslas can even drive manual cars?
The cybertrash has gear selectors up next to the rear view mirror, so you can just check your left breast pocket than lift ip your arm to select a gear, nothing abnormal about that
That swasti-shift tech is so hot right now
