Reddit user says Model Y picked wife's profile based on phone

📍 Reddit TeslaLounge

Unconfirmed: a Reddit user posted a warning for couples with a large height difference. He is 1.88 m (6'2) and his wife is 1.52 m (5'). Both have separate driver profiles on their Model Y, with easy entry enabled. According to the author, when both phones were in his pocket, the car selected her profile. After getting in and driving off before the seat had finished adjusting, the seat moved in a way that, according to his account, was crushing him while driving. He noticed the wrong name on the display and selected his profile before anything serious happened.…

🔎 Why it matters: There is no official confirmation from Tesla: the account comes from a Reddit user and includes no software version or technical explanation. What is claimed is that the Model Y assigned the profile based on the phone present in the pocket.
📈 Upside: The display shows the name of the active profile, which allowed the author to correct it before a serious incident.
📉 Risk: If profiles are assigned by phone, a driver could start driving with the seat set for another person.
