I think it is a great, fun, idea, if it doesn't cost much.  The market for this might be fading quickly though.

 

The addition appears to be strictly fanfare, with CNN even calling the move "just for fun." The fake manual transmission won't actually have any functional purpose. Drivers will also have the option to disable the feature entirely.

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