How to Add Windshield Washer Fluid to a Tesla?
2 Answers
Tesla's method for adding windshield washer fluid is as follows: 1. First, open the hood of the car, then locate the blue cap marked with the windshield washer symbol at the front of the engine compartment. 2. Be sure to identify the correct location before adding the fluid, as pouring it into the wrong place may cause damage to the vehicle. 3. After locating the correct spot, open the cap and pour the windshield washer fluid directly into it. 4. Do not use plain water as a substitute for windshield washer fluid, as water contains impurities that cannot provide anti-corrosion protection for car components and may instead accelerate the aging of car parts.
Adding washer fluid to a Tesla is actually quite straightforward, and as an owner, I find it quite simple. The frunk design makes everything easier: First, unlock the front hood via the touchscreen or the mobile app. Lift the hood, and you'll see the transparent reservoir on the right front, usually with a blue cap marked with a windshield wiper symbol. Pour the dedicated windshield washer fluid up to the MAX line—avoid overfilling to prevent spills. Choosing an antifreeze formula is especially important in winter to prevent nozzle blockages due to freezing. Remember to tighten the cap after filling and test the spray system to ensure it works properly. I check it monthly as part of my routine maintenance, ensuring clear visibility for safer driving—Tesla's spacious and well-organized frunk makes it easy even for beginners, with no risk of accidental contact with hot engine parts like in traditional cars, making the whole process much more hassle-free.
