Hey, so after my deer incident, I was inspecting the front bumper area, and noticed there is not much protecting the radiator from stones/bugs/deer bits.

Is it advisable to install some mesh or screen there to further protect it?

Also, is water supposed to leak out when you are charging? It's a bit warmer here today and I assume it's running some cooling to maintain battery temp? There is a significant puddle under the front bumper near right side.

we just had some warmer weather here in PA and I charge outside every day. No water when it was colder and none now. That's weird.

Oh, that's a bit disconcerting. It's unplugged now, and the puddle has evaporated, but I will keep my eyes on it. Just worried something was affected by the collision...

I inserted some aluminum window screen in front of the rad and HVAC coil. I needed two pieces and slipped them infront of the coils. We get a lot of bugs here and I hate them committing suicide on my fins

Is the puddle clean looking water? May be AC condensate from battey cooling / cabin climate control?
