This problem was solved over a decade ago with memorized seating positions tied to the key fob. It wouldn’t have been too much of a stretch (pun not intended!) to memorize and set the temperature alongside the other settings using the existing system.

That's literally what the tesla does. You tie a profile to a key, card, or phone.
Right - I meant that it can also be accomplished with an old-school analog system, too. It doesn't require a tablet-based system like Tesla's as a baseline.
There's no tablet involved after the initial setup you do when you buy the car. As soon as I unlock the car, everything moves into place.
And for the set up, it is analog. There's 2 trackball-like things you jigger around to move your seat, mirrors, and steering column.
Is the climate control analog, too? That's really what I'm referring to.
The climate control is tied to your key fob too so it changes based on who unlocks it. It even stores the direct of the vents for people who like air in their face vs over their head or below their feet.
