We just sign in to Tesla app on wife’s phone with the same login details as my phone.
Mine’s a lease, so unable to add secondary drivers. Could that be your situation too?

Download the Tesla App on your wife's iPhone and log in using your Tesla account.
You car should show up in her app, and it should say something like "Add as Phone Key" or something similar.
Use your keycard, her phone, and go to the car following the instruction on the app to add her phone as another Phone Key.
Not sure about lease car though.

Doesn't running the iPhone 'key' on two phones then unleash the problem with the wrong driver profile being selected if you both get in the car with your phone? I'm sure I've read that the car favours whoever approaches the passenger door if two iPhones are present, as a result of the US bias in the setup/location of sensors?

You can set one of the phones as a priority device and it will take priority over the other one.
It does indeed load up her profile if she gets there first, but I guess it would do that even set up with separate accounts? She’d still be the one to get there first, so would activate her profile. Don’t know about the near side priority thing, not observed closely enough when we’ve approached simultaneously.
I’ve come to notice the seat moving when I open the door, so tap one of the seat controls before I sit in to stop the movement. It’s then a pretty quick two clicks once I’m in to select my profile.

There's quite a height difference between me and my wife, so I have Easy Entry set on our profiles. That way I can get in the car regardless of who's phone gets there first.
Isn't the priority device just related to Bluetooth media rather than door opening/driver profile selection?
I have also noticed the wrong profile loading. I am the primary phone, but if my wife and I get in the car, it is a crap-shoot and which profile loads. I have easy entry set for both. When the seat starts moving into place, I have to watch for which one is loading to prevent getting jammed into the steering wheel. I have tried all different ways of getting into the car - me first, her first, open her door first, open my door first, same time, etc. and I cannot find that magic that makes it reliable one way or the other.
Any advice is welcome (as long as it fixes the problem

My wife's always loads. If I'm driving and I change Profile to me, and then we get to Supercharger (any waypoint) and I get out and she stays put then when I get back in (i..e open the driver door) her profile is re-selected.
She tells me this is by design
Her profile is first in the list (in case that is part of the reason)
If she never leaves the car then when you left it would only see her phone. Exactly the same if you both left and she went to the car first.
Mine is not predictable. That's the issue I have. I am the primary phone, I am listed first, but sometimes her profile loads. Very annoying.My wife's always loads.

My phone (or fob) still in the car. Its the act of me getting out of the car that triggers this.

On reflection this is Model-S. Not sure this situation has arisen in either M3 or MY as on "trips" we take the MS.
Can't answer for an S, but never had that issue with my 3.
