Solution

1. Preparation

Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface.
Turn off the vehicle and let it sit for a few minutes to allow fluids to settle.
Gather all necessary tools.

2. Inspect Coolant Reservoir

Open the front trunk (frunk) to access the coolant reservoir.
Identify the coolant reservoir which is typically marked with a label.
Check the coolant level relative to the minimum and maximum markings on the reservoir.

3. Add Coolant (if necessary)

If the coolant level is below the minimum mark:
- Obtain the correct type of coolant as specified in the owner’s manual (usually a specific electric vehicle coolant).
- Use a funnel to prevent spills and carefully pour coolant into the reservoir until it reaches the maximum level.

4. Close and Secure Components

Ensure the coolant reservoir cap is securely fastened after checking/adding coolant.
Close the frunk properly.
