My partner and I share a Tesla. It's 'mained' under her account. About 25%-50% of the times I enter the driver's seat - it varies depending on the version it's on - it forgets my driver profile and I have to reconfigure the mirrors and seat. This bug was first reported in 2020 IIRC and never fixed. Never buying another Tesla. Their only advantage is the network of superchargers.

Weird. Is your wife's phone nearby by chance? The only time this happens to me it's because we are both walking to the car together and her phone unlocks it before mine does.

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).

Even if she were near, I'd expect it to select her profile and let me select mine. Instead it deletes my profile entirely and I need to reconfigure my seat, mirrors, and any drive settings that are now at default.

All the other EVs have standardized on their charger now as well though, so their network is available to everyone.

_Will be_ available. Rollout is happening slowly.

Tesla's supercharger map shows which stations are open to non-Teslas so far: https://www.tesla.com/findus?v=2&bounds=66.26595543136888%2C...

Is it already open or is it opening? Last time I talked to my friend with an EV Porsche, he wasn't yet able to use the superchargers.
