Well, this "fake" manual stick shift will not work for me if true. Gotta have 3 pedals to be a real manual so no fake ones like pedal shift, DCT, or what ever Toy is developing...:

Toyota is trying to make electric vehicles with fake manual transmissions to appeal to consumer nostalgia

Future Toyota electric vehicles could include simulated manual transmissions. The new models will even simulate the experience of the car stuttering if drivers mess up. Drivers can choose to disable these features if returning to manual is too daunting.
