Well, it's not a joke, if you look in your front trunk there is a reservoir for coolant. Keeps the battery and electric motor cooled. Heat is the enemy of batteries. Don't neglect that.

I have a 1000 miles on my xlt SR and just checked it for the first time while removing the front beeper. The fluid was still right in the middle, no loss at all.

I get that but I thought the coolants had a very infrequent change cycle? And nothing should be consuming them right?
Are you going to drive around with it just incase ?

Coolant should very infrequently need to be checked and topped off. Similar to coolant in an ICE vehicle... It's really only a problem if there's a leak. Another forum member started a thread about this and that he's noticing low coolant level, which probably means he has a leak somewhere. I think it's made a few members here paranoid. Yes, sure, check the levels and all that, but unless you're pushing the vehicle extra hard in both driving and charging or you have a leak, that coolant shouldn't need a top off more than every 10~15K miles or more.

I am not planning to keep it in the truck, but I guess I have a OCD personality so whenever I buy something I try to get the most common "spare parts" stocked in case I need it. I dont expect to loose any, hopefully, but if I do and have a trip planned it will be in the garage with the spare parts for my house.
Day 4 and I love the truck. Best vehicle I have ever owned. The only minor complaints I have is lack of dog mode and too many dings and beeps so will try to disable some of them.

Try unplugging the 12v for ~10minutes (probably less)... I had trouble activating and tried all available resets and reinstalls in both truck and on the phone. After plugging back in the 12v battery and waiting for it to cold boot up was able to activate the truck with the Ford Pass app without any issue. BTW: Just pull the frunk closed by hand after restoring the 12v.
