What happens when both my wife and I approach and enter the car and we both have our keys?
Isn't RFID a bit more precise? So they could detect where each key is and give priority to the one in the driver's seat? Might not work if your wife has both keys in her handbag though.
Error: Does not compute.
I think it's based on proximity to the detector. Mind you my wife usually leaves her key at home, because otherwise she can't lock her purse in the car.

Absolutely! My (wife's) Mini acknowledges her 'touch' more readily than mine even if both of us have our easy access keyfobs in our pocket/purse.

My 2011 Sonota can locate the key pretty well. Mind you, the car doesn't distinguish between her key and mine, but it does know what side of the car the key is on. Suppose I have a fob and am at the driver's side door and my wife does not have hers at the passenger side. She can not open the car, but I can. It knows if the key is inside or outside, and won't let us pop open the trunk even if someone with the key fob is near the driver's door. I'm guessing there just a lot of RFID detectors located around the car. If Hyundai can do it, I'm sure Tesla can do better.
So, yeah, if your wife has both fobs, she better be driving.

My Corvette could usually tell which key was in the driver's seat but if not there was a "driver button" to manually select which driver's settings you wanted.

The window controls in the Betas were borrowed from Mercedes but do contain mirror control buttons also:
Ditto. I guess I posted in the wrong thread before but:
* Blind Spot Monitor
* Cruise control (adaptive is great, but not needed)
* HUD
Adaptive cruise control with settings to 50' or less to allow drafting easily. Driving at 50' without it will wear you out mentally as it requires additional attention.

We said on another thread that we would love to see ventilated / cooled seats (especially if you've got the panoramic sunroof).
Pre-heat the battery pack while not plugged in (to the point where regen can be enabled).
I talked to Dan (don't know last name -- an engineer at Tesla ... ~employee #30; knows the electrical systems) who said the platform can certainly support it, and that this is an interesting idea (didn't believe it was implemented or that there were plans to do so). Would be great to at least be able to tell the car to heat the batteries (while not plugged in) via the iPhone app much like you can change the cabin temp.

I read somewhere that Mercedes goes UP to 2 second. Useless feature then as the recommended distance is 3 seconds.
