    It’s a cismission (but he just calls it “normal.”)

    I didn’t want to be that guy, but there’s no gears to shift in an EV so you’re correct there’s no transmission.

      I was referring to a (hypothetical) trans person

  Honestly feels like a fun manual gearbox. I wish that symbol wasn’t forever ruined.

    oh, yeah, in some parts of the Philippines it’s the symbol of an octopus and fishermen paint it in their boats

  Good thing is that you will get total control over your car

  How does a “transmission” work in an electric vehicle?

  • callouscomic@lemm.ee ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Probably similarly to how this joke worked on you.

      What joke? I didn’t know how transmissions worked in EVs and now I do. People who think curiosity is worthy of ridicule guard and protect their own ignorance like a treasure.

    The same way it works in any vehicle with a motor and a transmission.

      Sure, but EVs don’t have transmissions in the same way as ICE vehicles. If they have a transmission at all, it’s virtually always a single-speed transmission with no gears to shift. Electric motors basically output maximum torque from 0 to some max speed, so there’s no need to shift gears to keep in in a sweet spot. They just need to reduce the speed because the motor runs at a higher rpm than the tires.

    You can still have multiple gears if you attach a gear box to the electric motor. Some BEVs already do that.

    While it’s rare, they do exist. Primary example being the Porsche Taycan with its 2-speed transmission.

    Additionally, any EV conversion of an ICE vehicle where the electric motor is placed in front of the drivetrain can also take advantage of a transmission.

  Exclusively on the ModelSS?

  The cybertrash has gear selectors up next to the rear view mirror, so you can just check your left breast pocket than lift ip your arm to select a gear, nothing abnormal about that
