Tesla's windshield washer fluid is added on the left side of the engine compartment. Relevant explanations are as follows: Introduction: The windshield washer fluid in a Tesla is added on the left side of the engine compartment. There is a reservoir next to it with a front windshield spray symbol on the cap, which is the container for storing the windshield washer fluid. Simply open the cap and pour it in. Additional Information: Tesla is an American electric vehicle and energy company founded by Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning in Silicon Valley, USA. It mainly produces and sells electric vehicles, solar panels, and energy storage equipment. The 2021 Tesla Model Y is a mid-size 5-door, 5-seat SUV equipped with an electric vehicle single-speed transmission. Its dimensions are 4750mm in length, 1921mm in width, and 1624mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2890mm, and a top speed of 217km per hour.

I remember being a bit confused the first time I had to refill the windshield washer fluid in my Tesla, since there's no engine in the front. Actually, the filler port is located under the front hood. You can open it either through the mobile app or the car's infotainment system. You'll see a small blue cap with the washer fluid icon - that's where you pour the fluid in. Just use a funnel to pour in properly mixed windshield washer fluid, and don't overfill it. Tesla's design is quite smart here - with the large frunk space in electric vehicles and the well-sealed cap, rainwater can't easily get in. After driving for a while, I realized it's important to refill the washer fluid regularly, like checking every two months or before long trips. Otherwise, the wipers won't clean properly and visibility will be affected. I prefer doing this in my quiet garage, making sure the car is parked securely and the hood is properly opened.

Tesla's windshield washer fluid filler is designed to be discreet yet intuitive, located under the front hood. Specifically, after opening the hood, look for the blue cap with a water ripple or raindrop symbol. You'll first need to unlock the hood via the touchscreen or Tesla app, then release it using the physical latch. Simply twist open the cap to pour in washer fluid—using dedicated cleaning fluid is recommended to avoid nozzle clogging from tap water. If the cap lacks the icon, newer models may have redesigned it; checking the vehicle manual for confirmation is safer. For safety, ensure the car is completely powered off before operating, that the hood is securely propped, and avoid fluid contact with electrical components. I've found that regularly refilling washer fluid also extends wiper blade life, especially in snowy regions where antifreeze-type fluid must be added before winter to prevent freezing.

When I drove the Model 3, finding the windshield washer fluid filler port was quite easy—it's right under the front hood. Open the hood (there's a button in the car to release it), and you'll directly see a blue cap. Just pour in the washer fluid. Since I used the wipers frequently, I checked the fluid level every week or two. Tesla does this well—the front trunk is flat, and the cap seals tightly without leaks, making the process no different from a regular car. Make it a habit not to slack off, especially topping it up before the rainy season, as clear visibility is crucial for safe driving.
