Nope, it just slides all the way down to the buckle and its out of the way when not needed.

Tried a couple versions of these today and they don’t help much but can’t think of anything that could work better other than a redesign. I didn’t realize just how comfortable the M3 was until I got the Y. Along with the seatbelt, I also can’t seem to get comfortable in the seat...which is odd as it supposedly is the Sam as the M3 but on risers.
Updates: Tried a set of Classy Comfort Seat Belt Adjusters (got them off Etsy) as a temporary fix, they sort of work and at least the shoulder portion of the seat belt was off my neck. Close but not quite there yet.
Stumbled across a mention about Seat Belt Extenders Pros in another forum discussion (Model S or X) about the same design issue. Ordered the 7" regular (flexible) in black and these things are robust since they're like OEM seatbelt materials and buckles.
Better, does move the point where the seatbelt clips into the anchor point so it moves the shoulder portion of the seatbelt off my neck. A little odd to use at first since the anchor point is now higher up by your hip so you may naturally be feeling for the anchor point deeper down where the seat meets the console.

Same here. I feel like an old man adding padding to the seatbelt but that’s where I’m headed. Maybe I’ll get some beaded seat covers next. ;-)
Yes very irritating to my neck. I’m 6’1 long legs so the seat is way back , belt adjustment on b pillar does not help. I’m ordering seat belt covers and hoping for relief.

I have the same problem, but a seatbelt pad took care of it for me. I don’t care what it might look like, I’m more into comfort.
For tall people, sometimes the seatbelt will dig into the neck area, which is uncomfortable. This seat belt may help relieve the seat belt stress.

Just got a Model 3 and really surprised that there is so little adjustment on the height of the seatbelt. My Ford Tourneo Connect has far more adjustment. I think this is one of many irritating design flaws I have discovered so far. For a car with so many gizmos it sometimes seems to lack the basics! Now to buy a protective pad before my neck gets sore. Oh, and I have adjusted the seat height in case anyone asks!
My wife has this issue as well. We have been using this:
it basically clasps the shoulder harness to the belt further to the side, reducing the angle at which it crosses over your chest. You can set it over at a point where it no longer rubs on the neck.

No, you just slide it over and adjust. No need to unsnap. Really not much motion difference than cinching the seat belt as it was.
