This is super cool;
Autocar
I had no idea that you could trim this much weight from an EV.The most substantial modification will be represented by a weight loss estimated to reach as much as 551 pounds (250 kilograms).
Not according to @Sunny
According to him an EV shouldn't have gears.
...N e-shift adjusting the Ioniq 5 N's torque output from its pair of motors to feel like the car has gears. The tech will also deliver a small jolt to give the impression of gear shifts,
It is just fake stuff. Good if you like fake stuff.
I think you and me have very different definitions real and fake. All the things you described - drive-by-wire, ESP, automatic gearbox are all functional. Not an add on effect to mimic something else. It might take away from the driving experience, but do functional things like make a car safe on the limit, or keep the engine in the right RPM band automatically and more efficient.And steering with drive-by-wire is not fake? You state your arbitrary definition as fact.
Or driving with ESP on? Very fake? Automatic gearbox? Fake!

The fake shifts are just that - fake add on meant to mimic shifting. It doesn't really functionally do anything besides appeal to nostalgia.
