What electric cars uses clutches? Which use 2-speed transmissions? Tesla doesn’t seem to use either.

The Tesla sportster had a two-speed transmission, and I'm fairly certain the model S also used one as well. I know they replaced a ton of them on the early production.

Later production doesn't seem to find the transmission necessary.
