What is this transmission you speak of? I drive an electric vehicle

You've still got one, it's just there's only one gear ratio, a pretty big reduction gear to turn the high speed motor into the speed the wheels rotate at. Pretty sure even reverse just runs the motor backwards.

It's the one set of oil to change.

Sorry bro, you drive a computer.

Would rather drive a computer than a smog box that runs on vintage phytoplankton wine

Drive computer's is against human nature, I like my car without a conscience, thank you

Any modern car, even a manual transmission combustion engine, is a computer. The chip shortage hit the car industry hard.

No sir, my car doesn't have this chip thingy, my car is pure steel.
