The delay between the bursts of acceleration when shifting gears give the driver an anticipatory boost of adrenaline each shift. Clunking or slamming into gear is very tactile and feels good.
And you could simulate that with am EV if you wanted. It would be pretty silly since it would just be for fun. But I do still fondly remember abusing the shit out of my manual Geo Metro…

With a clutch, yeah changing gears is pretty cool. Flipper paddles on an automatic isn’t like that at all though, which is what this EV shifting thing sounds like.
