I bet the airbag sensor in the seat. My 2020 Model Y had this issue. Usually when there's some sudden change in weather. One time I scheduled service but went away after awhile before service occured. But I havent seen it in a long time.

I had the same issue on our 2023 MX on the front passenger side. It would come & go but finally got tired of it and took it in for service. SC said it would be a 4 hr fix - but it ended up taking almost 2 *weeks* to fix. They never told me the root cause - hope your experience with SC ends up better than mine!

I had this in my Model 3. It was the sensor/wire in the mechanism you plug your seatbelt into. I connect my dog’s seatbelt strap to it and since he’s pretty reckless and pulls on it while I’m driving, it damaged the sensor. Mobile service swapped it out in like 10 minutes. Hopefully yours is the same easy fix.

We had this issue come up with our 2020 M3 “passenger restraint “ after looking it up it boiled down to 1 a wire was to close to another wire under the seat and it was causing interference so I put some foil around it 2 the wire got pinched when someone adjusted the seat one day. I got under there did the foil and straighten any wires that seemed to be kinked and it hasn’t done it again. I’m betting it’s an easy fix but a pain to have to make an appointment and take your time up going. Good luck

I went to my dealer today, they looked into it and said they don't know what the issue is, told me they can look into it deeper next week. I didn't want to leave it with them if they won't look at it for days, so they don't have a fix for it yet in their system... looks like it won't be a day or two repair. Get ready to be without the truck for a while.... I am going to continue driving mine, hopefully they will figure it out soon, maybe a recall of a part? If you find out more, please post

I can get a beep and warning on screen every 40 seconds or sometimes it won't beep or flash for 30 minutes,,, it's strange, I tried wearing no seat belt, I still get beep and flash on screen so I think it is something in the seat or just a faulty part somewhere withing the air bag system
