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.
You’re getting upset that people have MORE options on how they want to drive.
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.
why is this news about Porsche adding the feature bothering you?
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.
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.
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…

Then why are you arguing with me?
