That said the implementation is still stupid as time isn’t the right measure to judge motor temperature, motor temperature is. One thermocouple, basically a calibrated resistor, which the motors probably already have. Which would also take care of differing environmental temperatures as obviously the motors are worse at shedding heat when it’s scorching hot in the car.

You don’t add cooling, you size the motors to have enough thermal mass and mount them to metal chassis.

Potatoe Potatoh. Point is you size the overall system for quick adjustments, not continuous use. If you can get by with less weight and cost then you do as continuous use does not even begin to appear in the requirements sheet.

How much weight and cost do you think that’s going to add?

Do you think that being able to fiddle with your seat position for minutes on end is any way insufficient? Will you ever come close to actually using that feature?
If you answered those with “no”, then any extra weight and cost is too much. If you answered them with “yes” then get a massage chair and leave the poor car alone.
