This is so stupid. Why would a company put this much effort to lock down the seat controls, as if they didn’t already exist without limits on every other car? Not even with a toggle? These companies are really trying to destroy the “cars = freedom” association.

They get disabled for 5 minutes, probably to give the motors time to cool down.

If the motors need to cool down, they need to rethink their motors.
