Tesla instead of a full gearbox with multiple gears, Tesla ships with a gear reducer for their transmission (2 for the dual, 3 for the tri). There is no need to shift since the electric motors have torque at all speeds. Reverse is just the same motor running backwards.I test drove the Model Y in Seattle with a yoke steering. I loved it. Not only did it look good but even with sharp turns was manageable. I look forward to a yoke on the Cybertruck. My next question would be is how would you have a manual shift without a clutch and tranny?
