I doubt it will be Tesla and I also fear that breaking new ground will backfire un us. In many ways, it already is. Porsche opting for a PDK only GT3 is a perfect example. To me, driving enjoyment is measured in smiles per hour, not necessarily miles per hour. I would gladly trade 0.2 seconds to 60 for the involvement of a true manual transmission.
As enthusiasts, we might want to start wishing for less innovation and less groundbreaking. We like speed but we crave involvement and in the race for quicker acceleration, they're removing the weakest element - the human one, and with that goes our involvement. Classic example of being careful what you wish for.
