Porsche was left mighty impressed by the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N after benchmarking it several times. The artificial gear shifts and engine sounds were a highlight.
How is what hard? I haven’t driven the car but I also have watched a dozen videos about it and haven’t seen anything about turning it off, much less ordering it without the fuckboi paddle shifters on a single-speed car…
How it is hard understanding this. There’s zero chance you watched a dozen videos, or even read the article to this post, which clearly states the importance of being able to switch these systems on/off.
I haven’t seen videos on the car for a while, but every single one I watched a year ago made it extremely obvious that it was something you can turn on. If you legitimately watched a dozen videos and didn’t pick this up then you really need to learn some comprehension skills. If you’re lying about watching a dozen videos then I don’t know what to say to that.
“This” is the fact that the feature is adding choice for the consumer. I.e. a good thing. You’re getting upset that people have MORE options on how they want to drive.
Yes, the Porsche guy reiterated how important it is to make sure they can be shut off…so again, why is this news about Porsche adding the feature bothering you?
What about the paddle shifters? It’s the same argument. It’s a choice, use them if you think they make the driving experience more fun, don’t use them if you don’t like them.
If your whole thing is that they just look dumb, and that’s why you wouldn’t buy the vehicle then this has nothing to do with fake engine noises and fake gears, because tons of ICE vehicles have paddles as well.

You keep insisting on this and I keep telling you it’s not true. I’m upset that I will potentially have to pay extra money for something I don’t want and can’t be disabled.

If you’re not new to technology then you know how these trends get around. Nissan also added fake shifts to their CVTs and now every CVT has this “feature” that nullifies its own existence and cannot be disabled.

Those aren’t fake…they’re functional. They actually do something.
Why do you keep saying it can’t be disabled? I’ve said time and time again that you don’t need to use it. Just keep it off, it drives like any other electric car with a single “gear”. The drivers that enjoy the feature use it, and the drivers that don’t care for the gears leave it off. Or, more likely, drivers sometimes use it because it’s fun, and sometimes don’t if they just want a relaxing drive.
Regarding Nissan (which shouldn’t matter, we are talking about Hyundai and Porsche), a quick google search shows that they are an optional feature. Do you have a source for Nissan forcing the use of paddle shifters?
The paddle shifters on the 5N aren’t fake either. They are functional. They allow you to simulate gear shifting, feeling all the acceleration changes along the way (you know, the thing that makes driving fun)
If you think that’s dumb, then fine. Luckily they aren’t designing features specifically for you. They are designing features that people think are neat after using them. Based on all the reviews I’ve seen, every single person that was skeptical about the tech, drove the car, and realized it was a lot more fun than expected.
I never said that. I said I don’t know that it can be disabled. And once again saying that it’s a worrying trend.
Why do you keep ignoring the bit about the added costs and stupid pointless hardware?

My guy, do you not understand how examples work? We’re not talking about Nissan, we’re talking about large swathes of the automotive industry. Nissan, Honda, Subaru, Mazda, etc. etc. all have these shitty CVTs with fake shifting.

Your Google search deceives you.

That was not about paddle shifters, that was about the transmission…

What is “this”?
Have you been spying on me!?
That was the Porsche guy, not Hyundai. But even then, what does “off” mean? “Off” in “touring” mode?
And what about the goofy-ass paddle shifters? What do you do with those?

Then why are you arguing with me?
