Car makers prototyping EVs with fake stick shifts and pretend engine sounds

I drove a stick for all but 4 of the 32 years I drove cars before getting my current EV. I don’t miss the stick at all. The 100% torque when stepping on the accelerator gets rid if any need to downshift, IMO. And my left calf doesn’t ache after spending too much time in stop and go traffic, anymore. The “move shifter forward to go in reverse, backward to go forward” thing is the only problem I have with the setup.
