No Seat Belt Chime

Description
Disable the seat belt not attached chime when driving at low speeds or when the door is open.
Competitive/Pricing/Notes
The seat belt alarm is annoying and unnecessary when the car speed is very low (5 mph) and especially unnecessary when the car is stopped and the doors are open. Every time I go home I stop the car at the mailbox, drive 100 yards to home. In this interval and until I get out of the car the seat belt alarm is on, which is clearly unfit.
Moderator: This may be a federal regulation and is not something Tesla can bypass. I’m not aware of any recent vehicle that has this feature.

We’ve closed this out as we do not believe the idea is legal, at least in the USA.

It wouldn't take much effort to set a speed dependant threshold and a frequency sequence for the chimes.
ERGO, at five miles an hour, three low toned chimes, then stop.
Wait for a period of time, then if at five plus miles an hour, chime again, three tones just a little louder and so forth.

The chime doesn't start until you reach a ceratin speed, does it? Anyway, I always buckle up even for the less than 100 yards from my mailbox to my driveway, because although I know I can travel that distance without going in the ditch, other drivers may still hit me at break neck speeds. Speed limit seem to be taken as a minimum speed around here. :-(
