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

I’ve had stick cars my entire life, and enjoy them immensely over the experience of automatic cars of all types. Until… the goofy little Prius shifter in the dashboard. Man, I love that thing! It somehow makes the difference, and probably because you can slap it around. The Sport Mode powah surge doesn’t hurt, either. So I’m satisfied as long as they don’t move that around.
