Not sure if you're aware that EVs don't "shift" or if that's an indictment to the level of idiocy that would likely be employed by Apple.

    It's a reference to an actual response from Jobs when the iPhone 4(?) had a bad antenna design.

    Porsche begs to differ.

    All you had to do was a basic search for what EVs have multiple gears, but you didn't.

    What I like is that a bunch of idiots seemed to take offense to my comment which was meant more as a joke. I do admit I wasn't aware there were EVs with gears. Though this is mainly because I won't be in the market for my next EV for hopefully years. When I was looking into it, it was largely seen as unnecessary.

    Yeah I'm aware. There is mostly no reason for EVs to shift, but Toyota was trying to add a manual transmission to an EV for some reason.

    But "you're shifting it wrong" would be a scenario like the car wouldn't shift from P to D and Apple blames the driver.
