how to check brake fluid level on Tesla Model Y Current (2020-present)

Solution

1. Preparation

• Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface.
• Open the front trunk (frunk) by using the release button in the vehicle or on the key fob.
• Gather necessary tools: clean rag or paper towel.

2. Locate the Brake Fluid Reservoir

• Find the brake fluid reservoir, which is typically located near the driver's side of the frunk compartment.
• Remove the cover of the brake fluid reservoir if equipped with a cap.

3. Check Brake Fluid Level

• Visually inspect the fluid level against the markings on the reservoir.
  • The fluid should be between the "MIN" and "MAX" marks.
• If the fluid is below the "MIN" mark, it indicates that the brake fluid needs to be topped up.

4. Top Up Brake Fluid (if necessary)

• Use only the recommended brake fluid type (typically DOT 3 or DOT 4, check the owner’s manual).
• Carefully pour brake fluid into the reservoir up to the "MAX" mark, avoiding spills.
• Replace the reservoir cover securely.

5. Clean Up

• Wipe any spilled brake fluid immediately, as it can damage paint and finishes.
• Close the frunk securely.
