Thanks, couldn't find where to replace it anywhere. Do you think important to put back?

I think you should find out. Would be nasty to find out later, that a machine screw or something else, tore through a fabric or something. Just my 2¢.
Thanks 100% that's why I'm here..figured someone would know- I tried looking under the seat but couldn't figure it out
Did you ever figure out what this was? I found the exact same part on the floor next to my passenger seat.
It's probably either complete unrelated to your car and it feel of something you were transporting. Or, it was a plug for a port on a part that feel under the seat during production or service. I see plugs like this on new auto parts all the time. Either way, I wouldn't worry about it. OEs aren't likely to use a plug like that for a permanent solution to any problem because they fall off too easily...
The second part makes a lot of sense and I agree. After doing some research either production related protection piece, or post-production packaging makes the most sense. Although, I noticed it after I started hearing a new squeaking from the passenger seat and I was looking around the base for a source (also probaby just coincidence). They have gotta be related to the cars though, other than a cosmic coincidence with the OP mine was literally identical. I should say, my car is a 2023 Model 3.

I have a box in the garage labeled "Mystery Items." Items like this go in that box in case I ever discover where they go.
