I just had my model 3 delivered and today is the first time I had three friends seat in the car. The car keep warning me that rear seats belt is not plugged in. There is no law in my state saying that rear seats passengers should buckle up but the car is just keep warning and warning me all the time. Is there a way to disable rear seats seat belt warning?

Disable rear seats seat belt warning

First: I think this is a stupid idea.
Second: Yes, there are two hinges just beneath the front lip of the rear seats. You swivel them sideways and lift up the rear seat. One on the left side and one on the right.
Be very careful, because there are 2 cable bundles underneath, one which is for heating the seats, and one for "reporting weight" on the back seats.
I don't know which is for what. The the 2021 both clips are on the same side, on earlier builds it's one cable on each side.

First congratulations on the new M3. It’s worth watching this video about rear seats belts and then decide if you really want someone sat behind you without a belt on during a crash. Basically an unguided missile.
It’s not just them you’re protecting but you as well.

You can tell your friend to buckle up. Just because there is no law doesn't mean it is a bad idea.
Also, you can hit the button on the screen to identify that seat as having a carseat, since your friend is a big baby who can't wear a seatbelt...

1) have them put a seatbelt on
2) if you really want to ignore safety you can simply set their seat to a baby seat by tapping the seat in the gui.

Wait, there's a baby seat option? Holy cow. I didn't know that. I've been plugging in the extra seatbelt all this time.

Is it also legal to stick half your body out the window at highway speeds For The Gram?

Yes, when the warning comes up just click it and it'll be disabled (goes grey). I have dogs and have to do this often.

Well, I am guessing you know that the Tesla isn't aware of laws in your state
Even if it isn't a law, wouldn't it be wise to have them use seatbelts anyway.

The warning will go away once the passengers put on a seat belt
This doesnt work in EU…only US version can do this. There is no way to disable the tone in EU

Have them put on the seat belts. That will turn off the rear seat belt warning.
Besides, would you rather have them fly into you unrestrained if you crash or have to brake hard to avoid a crash?
It would be great to have a way to disable this notification in Australia. We have a dog who sits on the back seat buckled in with a harness. The harness however, only stops one seat from chiming, if the dogs weight moves slightly to another seat, the whole trip is one long sequence of super annoying chimes. We’re not even lucky enough to have the child seat option to disable it once per trip!
