If it's an electric Town Car you want and a manual gearbox isn't really a viable option, I say go with the automatic.
In your current town car, at what RPM does the torque converter lock up if you have the gear shift in third? As an EV this would likely be the gear you would use on the highway. Does the torque converter ever lock up when shifted into second gear?
If using an automatic kills 20-30% of your potential range, simply adjust the size of your pack accordingly. Besides, with an automatic doing smoky electric powered burnouts would be that much easier!
