I don’t understand the EU’s love for the stick shift. Auto transmissions have been better for a long time and with EVs you don’t need that abomination at all. Imagine needing to push a lever every few seconds while driving.

They only really became better (more efficient) when they ditch torque converters and use some form of direct shift automatic gearbox or CRV instead which adds complexity. Small and cheap cars are far more popular in Europe and both of the above add cost and complexity.
I've driven manual cars daily for years and once you get used to it, changing gears is not even something you think about.
Weird that you don't understand it. Have you read any of the replies in the multitudes of times you've invariably seen this discussion come up online?
