I don’t know how extended this is, but apparently there are car makers selling cars with no keys. Instead you download a proprietary app and use it to access your car.
I like being practical and talking to a car to turn the volume up or down, to open the door or to turn the temperature higher are things I don’t need nor want. Give me mechanical levers, reachable stalks and no proprietary bloatware. I don’t need a movie theater on wheels.
Imagine an early 2000s car running on an electric motor. That’s what I want.
You can’t freewheel on EV, there’s no mechanism for that. You can have a software simulation though, but it’s not needed for anything.
When mine is configured for aggressive regen, it slows the vehicle to a stop. You couldn’t push the car, for example
That’s just a software feature, not a real neutral.
