Have we properly considered the effect on Hollywood? No car chase is complete without the timely down-shift, the roar of the engine and (usually) the massive fireball when the villain drives into a wall. With EVs/automatic transmission they're going to have to think of something else!

Thankfully heroes and villains in action movies always drive immaculately restored 70s muscle cars, so for the time being they'll be able to keep using a gear stick.
