Not that time of the month.

That might do it, but what else would the fuse disable? 
According to what I’ve seen online, it can be done by the owner via navigating settings menus or with a Bluetooth ODB-II dongle and phone app, depending on the car’s model year and accessories, or a dealer can do it. He’s told me about how he can customize the information display and other things in the car, and I said (before trying to find more information about it) that with that level of customizability I’d expect as the owner to have the option to disable the annoying beep.
Anyway, I’m content with my manual transmission Mazda for now.

Sorry, couldn’t resist. 
I think I was doing speech to text and the AI chose the wrong homophone. But sometimes my fingers also get carried away from my brain out of predictive habit too.
I actually make typos from my phone so often (not as often from my computer though) that Seapup has standing permission to make edits and corrections to my posts at will.

Wow. I haven’t drove a manual since last century, 1986. I rented a car in a small town in Scotland. It was a challenge to drive stick from the other side of the road with your left hand.
My Wife has a built in Japan 2008 Toyota Prius. I’ve driven it over 400 miles on a day trip to Yosemite Valley and back with four adults in the car. Still had gas in the tank which holds 9 gallons. My 2012 Toyota Tacoma gets 17 MPG. 
Manuals in new cars are half automatic now anyway. Anything post 2000’s is so different from what manual driving used to be like in the 20th century. The gears are so smooth and easy to switch around nowadays.
Try driving a manual in a country that drives on the left. I learned to drive on a manual, still, I often found myself drifting to the right side of the road in the beginning, especially when there were no other cars around and no visible yellow line.
My understanding of the reverse beep in this car is that it sounds only in the car’s interior. It’s not like a backup beep on a large truck or bus as an exterior warning to others. It’s just an annoyance to the driver (when the driver is me, anyway).
That does sound like a challenge, and one that I’d accept! When I was shopping and eventually bought this car, I had three specific qualities in mind: smaller than what I was driving at the time, 5 doors, and manual transmission. Mission accomplished!
I don’t doubt that at all, and imagine I’d also have to compensate for that. I haven’t yet had the opportunity to find out, though.

Must be a different grammatical style from where you come from. 
I think I tried the paddles once. Not a fan.
Then there are the “paddle shifters”. I don’t know if they still have those now. I use to drive one. It’s still automatic, but below the stick is a small toggle so you can shift up and down with your thumb.
Had them since 2015 at least. They sit behind my steering wheel on each side near the 10 and 2 positions. Only had to use them when down-shifting in the Canadian Rockies on a rental. Looks sporty but don’t need them in flat Florida.
Is that true with a purely manual transmission?
I use push buttons on my shifter.
My car is voice-controlled but it doesn’t shift for me, yet.
Have you been living under a rock? Hybrid and Plug In Hybrid Electric Vehicles have been around for a long time.
I’m just the opposite. A hybrid generally has the worst of both EV and gasser.
And I put my money where my mouth is. 3 weeks ago I replaced my 2003 Dodge Ram 2500 4x4 with a Ford F-150 Lightning - a fully electric vehicle. After just over 1000 miles and five off road trips to two different mountain top radio sites (the reason I have a 4x4), I am very happy with my Lightning.
As for long range driving, the number of fast EV charging locations keeps rapidly growing (but may slow some with the current administration). With the ability to use the Tesla SuperChargers (by far the best rapid charger network), it’s just not a problem. I recently plotted a drive from home in the Los Angeles area to my sister’s house in Colorado Springs with the drive out via Las Vegas and the return via Phoenix, and the charging will be less of issue than my bladder

I remember when that was introduced and think it looks like a cool vehicle. It’s a shame that doesn’t give more love. I also dig Rivians and have seen a few of those on the road. Something like that is probably where I’d look if I wanted to be fully electric.

Forgot the pictures..
and if you look carefully in the bed of the truck, the red thing is a gas can that I took to the radio site in the second photo to refuel a temp Honda generator. Felt strange driving an electric truck into a gas station.
