Ford's EV shifter doesn't mindlessly go through the motions. Small motors are built into the base that provide force feedback through the lever. It can vibrate the stick like a lumpy 6.2-liter V-8 Camaro, and when you move between the "gears" it provides some notchy resistance

Ah, yes. The lumpy old Ford Camaro. Very good. Very good.
