Wow thanks a bunch Phil! Now I know enough to be dangerous. Good pointers on maintenance intervals. Best regards Mark

This will just unsnap, so grab a side and yank upwards. Here's what it looks like with all the plastic removed, including the frunk tub: Upper right you can see the brake master cylinder (DOT4). Middle right, the 12v AGM battery, Middle left, is the "superbottle" that holds all the glycol (G48 coolant ONLY). Lower left is the "super manifold" for the heat pump that has the Liquid-cooled condenser, the receiver/dryer, the chiller, and all the expansion valves and "octavalve" and pumps for the glycol. To the lower right is the HVAC compressor. (newer ones like yours will have a black foam covering for NVH. Far upper left you can see the 2 glycol lines for cooling the ICE (Car/Autopilot computer) that's on the other side of the firewall, and upper middle are the 5 R1234yf refrigerant lines that run into the cabin for HVAC. In between this and the 2 glycol lines for the ICE is the air intake plenum. Normally there is a big duct here that sucks air from the windshield base plenum. The only thing you should ever need to do under here is replace the 12v battery or the DOT4 brake fluid. I recommend every 2 years in a humid/coastal climate, or every 5 years otherwise. Brake fluid is highly hygroscopic. Expect 2-7 years for the 12v battery depending on climate and usage. The G48 glycol coolant (blue stuff) never needs replacement. I'd replace the drive unit lubricant every 5 years if I was planning on keeping it forever. (You should probably let Tesla do this, mainly as it's unobtanium.) > On Thu, Mar 25, 2021 at 7:17 AM Mark Hanson via EV <ev@lists.evdl.org> wrote: > Hi folks > When I open the frunk on the Tesla Y I just see A window washer Cap.
