Do Teslas come with manual transmissions? Or just automatic transmissions? Regardless, the bigger issue for me isn’t the doing it in traffic element, more, what happens if the touch screen has an error and isn’t recognizing my finger swipes? That’d be cute, not being able to turn my car off because I can’t get it into park/neutral.
I've seen a video of an old VW Beetle that was converted to electric, it still had a stick shift but the guy just left it in like 3rd gear. Electric engines have instant torque, their power is readily available all the time so gears aren't necessary (i think that's how it works anyway)

Afaik they don’t even have gears, most electric cars don’t actually shift gears
Not that that makes touchscreens any less fucking stupid
And what if you accidentally spill something on it?
Is the car just gonna throw it self into reverse while doing 80 on the highway?

Here's a similar video.
Yeah that’s what I thought.
