One of nan astir overlooked features of EV's is that you tin spell into nan app and activate ambiance power and group nan somesthesia moreover erstwhile blocks away.

It's intolerable to drawback it napping aliases to person it abruptly extremity up successful nan incorrect gear. And nan wide unfastened throttle shifts are instant. Milliseconds. I wish location was a manual transmission action pinch nan car, but I've been very pleased pinch nan DSG and nan paddles if I want to occurrence up motorboat control.

The DSG is excellent, but it is imaginable to drawback it out, astatine debased speeds, e.g. successful stop-and-go traffic, aliases if you don't travel to a 100% complete extremity astatine a extremity motion aliases right-on-red, etc.
