YEP!
And in this real world only 2% of the ICE cars sold in the USA are MT. To think that they are ever going to put a true MT in an EV just to appease a tiny number of "enthusiasts" that would ever want or use one is plain silly.
As many have said there just simply is no advantage to having a manual transmission in an EV for anybody except those that think driving means rowing through gears.
