Lexus making manual trans for EVs

All for steps trying to make EVs enjoyable for enthusiasts. Toyota wants to try to make a MT? Great. What else is there? Acceptance that all future cars are going to be boring toasters? There's the relentless positivity I know and love.

Is this making a complicated car even more complicated by inserting a part that is completely unnecessary?

I remember back when Lexus was the industry leader with the RX300 being one of the first SUVs, the LS400 being a fine luxury sedan and Toyota being the company that brought us the 2JZ and the first popular hybrid vehicle... boy oh boy whats happened since...
