The transmission will simply be gone due to electric motors won't it?

And even with gas engines, I'm in Europe and I've never owned an automatic. I've driven a few and kinda hated them... with the exception of Toyota's CVT. I would drive that.

Too bad hybrids have 18/24 months delivery time around here. Not a good time to change your car.

Electric vehicles like Teslas still have transmissions. They just have only one gearing.
