1. The wire harness coming from the floor branches off into 10 separate plugs that each plug into a different place on the seat. One of those plugs attaches to the shiny black control module.
2. No error messages after removal so far
3. Photo below not the best, but here's where the seat was in this February, 2018 5-seat Tesla X. This leaves odd little gaps and open slots in the carpet.
I suspect some of the elaborate stuff in the seat might be for an air bag, I'd like to know for sure where the air bags are. The removed seat is VERY heavy. There are several custom Styrofoam blocks painted black under the floor mats and floor boards, be sure to note exactly how each fits before you mess with them (like to search for dropped nuts and bolts). Also, cats like to claw unattended Tesla seats. Keep them covered.

I'm thinking of removing my 2nd row seats (6-seater configuration) too for a camping trip but what hesitates me is putting them back in. In the manual there's that mentioning that you need to go into "Seat Install Mode" with the Tesla Toolbox software. @UncaNed have you ever re-mounted the seats? Did you need the Toolbox software for that or even visit a SC?

@bebbiXpress, I did remount the seats and the subsequent update required a trip to the SC. They replaced a module somewhere, no charge, but I can't say for sure if it was really seat-removal related. I did not try "Seat Install Mode" with the Tesla Toolbox software.

Thanks for your respond, and How do we do that ? effectively my car is 7 seats in my mcu...
So what is the deal with removing the middle seat in the 7 seater? I can't tell from all these posts. Is it just some screws? I know there was some talk of error messages but that seems like if you remove all the seats... just want to remove the middle seat.
Thanks!

Thanks!

It's on the first page of this thread. Post number 18..
Removing Middle Seat from 7-seat Configuration
Just some screws to undo. Yes, there is a chance that software updates will fail if it doesn't detect the seat, so, if you can get the seat module connected back and then hide it, you are good to go.
Hello, how did you end up accessing the bolt? Going to try and do this this weekend. How long did it take you?
