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

            Adding this functionality will:

            Require more IO, add complexity to any wiring harnesses, make repair or replacement more difficult. This all increases cost, probably more than a mass-produced seat motor used by other manufacturers.

            For weight and cost, a proper design would have been negligible. Why do you think every other car isn’t made this way if it comes down to cost?
