Phone charger regulations were based on the need to reduce e-waste caused by every phone having a different charger.

I think the same principle could be applied here. Heated seats that can't be used are causing increased emissions as the car needs to move them around without actually providing any benefit to the owner, and so should be regulated.

Once you open that can of worms you’d have to regulate SUVs out of existence entirely.

Sounds good to me.

(Half kidding, half serious. If they are really that harmful, maybe a ban wouldn't be the craziest idea)
