I think this is a benefit only at higher speeds, tbh. The Tesla single speed setup seems to be really tuned towards low end acceleration, which admittedly is a logical thing to tune for in a premium family sedan. We've already seen some pretty good hints that the next Tesla Roadster may have at least a two speed gearbox, probably for similar reasons. |

It's probably actually tuned for range/consumption. The Taycan gets roughly 2/3 the range of a Model S despite better aerodynamics and almost the same battery size.
We'll see what EV drivers value more, track performance or range.
