Why, oh why didn't Tesla fix this industry problem?

hmmm, I was impressed when my CT swallowed the whole gallon once the reservoir was empty, maybe yours was "low" but not yet empty

The tank only holds 1.1 gallons (4.2 liters)

I don't understand why manufacturers are so stingy with that tiny bit of volume. Maybe changing the sensor to only go off when you have 1 gallon of emptiness inside...

The tank only holds .92 gallons (4.2 liters)

Mine must have been one of the cheap Chinese knock "gallons"

I mix my own washer fluid using Kristall Klar concentrate, so I only fill the jug to about 80% full.

Drink it? No. Don't do that.

weight savings. more zoom-zoom.

Plus, I reduce degradation by not filling to 100%

OR, how come the folks that make the 'pre-made' washer fluid (I use little tablets and make my own) don't just do like everyone else these days and 'shrink' their packaging down to, say, 60 oz instead? It's called 'shrinkflation' I think... Selling you the same product for the same price, but you just get a little bit less... hehe...

OR you could wait until you actually 'run out' of fluid completely... Might fit then...

It has to be intentional. I remember when buns were 12-packs and hot dogs were 10. ?

Yeah, and now it's 10 dogs and only 8 buns!!

Potentially a good joke you have there.

Well all the jokes are potentially good

Where did you learn to do metric conversions (and why didn't you get Google to do it for you)?

4.2 liters is more than a gallon, 1.11 gallons, to be more precise. As long as you run it down to only 14 oz. or less left before filling, the entire gallon will fit.

I'm not sure why the OP is upset about this. Maybe flame ICE manufacturers for making the oil capacity 4.2, 4.5 or 6.2 quarts. ?‍

You are correct. I went back and edited my post. The whole amount should have fit.

I actually DID wait until it was empty... once. I was on my way to work. Window was dirty so I tried cleaning it. It smeared a little while spitting out very little juice. I pulled over right then and put more in. I honestly can't remember but I don't think it took it all. And, she should take it all. Especially when she's really thirsty.
