Tesla tried a 2-speed transmission with their roadster. It failed and they never looked back. Now they have the quickest production electric car with the longest range.
Unsurprising that a transmission company would think they are a good idea putting them where they aren't needed.

True. I own both a Teslas and the Brammo. I love the simplicity of the Teslas with one gear BUT for performance imthe tesla really needs an extra gear. It is really evident when you watch the drag videos as the Model S blows by everything off the line but runs out of steam and gets reeled in.
About distance, I'm not sure. If a 20% increase in range is possible the. I think they will move rapidly to it.
I am hoping they do it more for performance. Taking the Tesla (roadster) out on the track you can easily see it get winded j. The straights.
