by your logic if paddle shifters can be considered manual then auto boxes can also be considered manual since you can select the gears at will amd manually. -

I like those older cars with the push button transmission on the steering wheel. it's very cool.
and push button starters existed on older chevys from the 1950s. but they went back to keys until recently.
I still never driven in an all electric car but I guess some of them you just push the pedal and there is no brake and no gear box. Im like, how do you stop the car. You just take your foot off the pedal. it knows not to run into shit I guess. it will stop if a car is in front. Im guessing forcing your foot off of it while pushing back itself?
this is some new model coming out. sounds like a fucking bumper car -

Nah, like I said it's only really considered a manual if you are using a stick + clutch.then auto boxes can also be considered manual since you can select the gears at will amd manually.
Are you talking about PRNDL selection? Those are still automatic settings. -

Electric motors are really, really really good. Like insanely good. Like if you disengage the acceleration, it doesn't need something clamping the wheel to stop it, it literally uses the exact same mechanism that gives it electricity to make it go, in reverse to make it stop by absorbing the energy back into electricity.
If you remember physics class, there are a pair of electromagnetic rules called Fleming's Rules (right hand rule = generator rule, meanwhile left hand rule = motor rule) and something called the Right Hand Grip rule based on Ampere's Law, where if you "thumbs up" while clutching a wire, with your thumb pointing in the direction of current flow, then your fingers are curled in the direction of magnetic field lines generated around the wire.
We use these principles to create the electric motor as well as the electric generator.
For motors
current moves through the wire and generates the magnetic field around the wire, which will cause a magnet around it to rotate and this effect is used to drive the motor.
And equally in reverse for generators, a magnetic field moving around conducting wire will generate a current in the wire, so we simply rotate the magnet around the conductor.
This is essentially the basic power generation method we use everywhere to convert any source of energy into electricity: we essentially just find new ways to get something to turn a turbine, to move the magnets around the solenoids, to generate the current.
In electric cars essentially the same principle is used for one-pedal braking and stopping. Once you let go of the accelerator, the supply of current is reduced or cut and the momentum of the car moving forward immediately starts going towards generating current in the wire, because it's using the same wheel turning now but in reverse the wheels are now supplying energy back to the circuit. But since there's no more power being supplied, they quickly come to a halt. This also goes back into recharging your battery a little to make your car a bit more efficient.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Automatics with traction control don't really do any worse in these situations. If you are actually STUCK-stuck then it's likely manual transmission won't get you out anyway: there is a pretty narrow margin of situations where a modern auto won't cut it but a manual will.D: Making that loud Barking sound when you roll up in front of someone's house on the way to school, with your first car and You put it in first gear while holding the brake and spinning tires than syncing just right into second gear where it makes a BUUUURK" sound for a split second. can't really do that in an automatic. not today's automatics.
Fair point. -
2021-11-27 at 6:17 PM UTCOnly thing is, don't drive inebriated. Seriously. DONN DO EET. Not high or drunk at all. Get your muscle memory and road awareness built up unadulterated.
Once you have basic control down pat, start building your mirror habits.
Ever play TF2? The same way you have to keep turning 180 periodically to do Spy checks, make a habit out of keeping 360° awareness of the road. Practice regularly swiveling your eyes and head to each of your mirrors for a split second each, a couple of times per minute. Clear the road, hold steady, check your mirrors, back to the road.
Once you have committed car handling to muscle memory and your 360° awareness becomes an automatic habit, you will become an automotive cyborg who will never make an error driving around, ever, it's just never gonna happen.
The reason I'm giving all this advice is because I have helped out 3 other TOTSE people during their first forays into driving and if you just build the basics first, you will never, ever get into a car accident.
I have never been in any kind of car accident or anything remotely close ever in my life and it's my sincere belief that in 99.9% of car accidents never need to happen, it's just due to retards who cannot wrap their heads around how to develop solid fundamentals. -

paddle shifts and tiptronics dont have clutches.Are you talking about PRNDL selection? Those are still automatic settings.
on better cars there are selection for low, 2nd and third gears. -
2021-11-27 at 10:52 PM UTCGood luck driving Lanny.. get your license. Learn to ride a motorcycle next. get your M Class. go riding with Frala

Yes that's why they are gay. Tiptronics are basically every "semi automatic" road car (which includes paddle shifters). It's an automatic tranny with manual control. You can call it semi manual or whatever but it is also not what anyone is referring to when they say "manual".
Manual = stick shift and clutch, period.on better cars there are selection for low, 2nd and third gears.
Even on a regular PRNDL you can select neutral and reverse gear. That doesn't make it a manual.
They have manual control but it's not a manual transmission and no clutch. It's the exact same electronic shifter, the torque shift is just disabled.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

You don't know anything about snow. A standard allows you to do the rocking motion MUCH better and isn't as hard on the transmission period. If it's AWD or 4x4 it's a different story but if you've got a choice between automatic or standard 2wd stuck in snow/slush take the standard every single time -

Totally wrong, how? It is trivial to rock back and forth between R and N compared to involving your clutch. Then switch to 2 or L. Snow was no stranger to Chicago.and isn't as hard on the transmission period.
Maybe this was true for autos from 20 years ago, you don't have to baby your transmission any more.If it's AWD or 4x4 it's a different story but if you've got a choice between automatic or standard 2wd stuck in snow/slush take the standard every single time
I already said that the manual would be better in such situations but it is a marginal difference that usually should not matter if you have a semi recent automatic.
It's not like manuals are incapable of being stuck in mud and snow. -

2021-11-28 at 1:31 AM UTCLike you can literally rock with just your brake and the shifter. I don't understand how it's easier with a manual. Explain it to me.
I know you'll just autistically throw a contrarian fit to the previous post so at least answer this one straightforwardly.
Genuinely curious. -
