Now, the sound - it was not there but honestly I keep open mind and accept it as innovation and that's how it does thing. I did not mind the lack of exhaust while in i8.
Lack of gearbox, I actually think they might come up with some gear shit there just from seeing how electric is inefficient on high speeds. However, in my testing of i8 I had zero concerns with lack of the stick.
I8 is not i4, i know that. I4 will probably be more in line with model 3. Also i8 has horrible steering. It was probably in comfort mode but boy it felt I was driving my kid toys... I think i4 will have better steering given the tech progress since my test drive.

Well that's the problem.
No exhaust or no shifting. No fun as a fun car. Ok for a commuter.
