Yep. I love my manual 90s Skyline, but I am really hoping to get a pragmatic commuter EV after driving a couple. I will not miss the gearbox for that task.

I also think EVs tick a couple of boxes that manual gearboxes also do for enthusiasts, which slushbox autos didn't. Always being in a good powerband and engine braking are both features of EVs and manual gearbox ICE cars that I miss if I am in an auto ICE car.
