Stick shift drivers - would you get an electric vehicle? (lemmy.world)

I'm stuck on this personally. I love my manual, I have a tiny little Mazda 2 and I have driven that thing absolutely everywhere because I can control it better than any automatic I've ever driven. But I've been casually looking for a new car and I'd love to have an electric, but I don't want to lose that level of control and everything I love about a manual.

What do you all think? What's your take?

I went from a manual V8 mustang to an model 3.

I haven't had any sense of losing control with having that instant acceleration with heavy regenerative braking and using one pedal driving. Plus in stop and go, having that adaptive cruise is a game changer from the mustang.

I honestly don't regret switching at all.
