It's just an affectation, like putting an Altimeter on motorcyle!

It’s that like saying, “an electric vehicle with regenerative systems doesn’t need an available power meter”? The car is an “auto” it gets it 40 winds when plugged in and then it’s essentially and “automatic” but they still have a gauge, right?
I don’t see why so many people detest it to the hills, sure you can do without but I think there is a place for it in the crowns lineup.
