One again.....it doesn't have an "in-line" transmission (gearbox/CVT).

Could you define 'in-line'?

If you define it as "a combination of components (either gears,
shafts, bearings, clutches etc) that sit's in series between the power
generation units and road wheels" then it has an 'in-line
transmission'? Engine / Motor ~ transmission (eg gears / diff) ~
roadwheels?

Not 'in-line' like a front engined rwd car ( or transverse etc) maybe
but an in-line transmission (as in powertrain) none the less (for what
it mattters)?
