    Or blaming customers for problems, “You’re shifting it wrong.”

      Not sure if you’re aware that EVs don’t “shift” or if that’s an indictment to the level of idiocy that would likely be employed by Apple.

        It’s a reference to an actual response from Jobs when the iPhone 4(?) had a bad antenna design.

        Porsche begs to differ.

        All you had to do was a basic search for what EVs have multiple gears, but you didn’t.

          What I like is that a bunch of idiots seemed to take offense to my comment which was meant more as a joke. I do admit I wasn’t aware there were EVs with gears. Though this is mainly because I won’t be in the market for my next EV for hopefully years. When I was looking into it, it was largely seen as unnecessary.

        Yeah I’m aware. There is mostly no reason for EVs to shift, but Toyota was trying to add a manual transmission to an EV for some reason.

        But “you’re shifting it wrong” would be a scenario like the car wouldn’t shift from P to D and Apple blames the driver.
