Battle of the Transmissions: M/T vs. A/T

[Vodka]

Slushbox is the future!

Galing na ng mga new A/Ts, they shift almost as fast as dual clutch and with 10 speeds they're just as economical as CVTs. Torque converter also makes them much smoother to drive in traffic.

electric is the future single-speed gearbox. possibly 2-speed for certain niche applications

electric so fun to ride. you get all the torque at zero RPM. no need to shift gears. super simple 1-speed transmission

I can attest to this when I drove my brother in law's Tesla Model 3 back in the States. When you step on the accelerator, Nirvana follows

Instant acceleration and the best of all, no noise. I was doing 75mph on the interstate with an Armada 5.6L V8 when I saw this Tesla from behind and moments later it was on my left passing me like a hot knife thru butter. It was a Model S P85.

Even on stop lights, Tesla cars accelerate rapidly to 35-45 mph. You can see a lot of Tesla cars in the parking lots of the more famous tech companies - Facebook, Google, Apple, Instagram, YouTube, etc.

Sweet, but that's not a win for the single-speed transmission but for the electric powertrain overall.

Just sharing... I never imagined this day would come in my lifetime (sa PHL)...

Went our for lunch with 3 new employees... used the extra car which was MT...

Guard went to our table as car needs to be moved (may aalis)

Nag-uunahan yung 3 to present themselves to do it for me. Gave it the keys to one of the guys, then bumalik sya sa table after less than 5 minutes...

"Sir, manual pala yung car mo, di ako marunong"
Then the other 2 also told me, "sorry Sir, AT lang po kami natuto mag drive"

While moving the car, naisip ko lang na wow... 20 somethings who can no longer drive MT cars...

Anti theft. Hehe
It is a dying skill. Soon those who mastered MT will become legends.

for those driving the a/t wigo, what's the lowest gear option of the car?

i'm not familiar w/ the vehicle and a lady friend is asking me about it. she's a rookie driver and she's asking for tips for inclined driving.
