For decades if you're coming from drive into Reverse in an automatic you push the shift selector forward, then pull bak to go into Drive. Everyone else is wrong!

True, indeed. I do recognize the PRNDL legacy and perhaps manufacturers are reluctant to change this sequence for fear that it may cause confusion or worse, accidents, since people are so used to shifting under this pattern.
But after having driven an i3 for two years and now getting back to an ICE BMW and re-adapting myself to the traditional gear selector, it makes me appreciate the i3 gear pattern as I got used to that almost immediately and found it to be more intuitive.
