Is it practical? No. Is it less efficient? Yes. Is it fun? Apparently yes! Assuming Porsche will have a similar implementation it’s more than just noise, it actually simulates a torque curve as you go through the gears.
Exactly people are getting all bent out of shape for something clearly not designed for them. There are already so many boring efficiency focused evs already on the market, let those of us who want a fun engaging car to drive get in on the EV fun as well 😀
But why? I drive an EV and it’s way better than a manual (I’m getting too old for that crap), and nothing like an automatic.
Plus putting your foot down in an EV and letting it rip is like nothing else, gears would ruin that fun.

It can probably be disabled and is probably mostly a fake noise thing.
