And why would that feature rely on a phone in the first place instead of letting the driver change the profile when getting behind the wheel? Or e.g. use a fingerprint sensor or interior camera (which some of the Teslas do have)?

That sounds like some software guy somewhere didn't realize that those seats in the car aren't only for carrying air but that actual people or, gosh, occasional other drivers ride in them too.

Sadly this is rather symptomatic for many things coming out of Silicon Valley (not only Tesla).

It's an option when you set up your phone as a key. If it didn't delete me and just picked the wrong profile, it'd be a great feature.

It needs to let you select the seat _from the door_ before getting in, without access to the touch screen, else someone 6ft getting in after someone 5ft is in for a miserable time.

But it does let you select? You wrote so many words but have no experience yourself.

It does.

There is an easy profile toggle

The author said they know that but the problem was the profile being deleted.
