As another commenter mentioned, this is actually expected behaviour [1]. Because it’s precedented, it’s treated as okay [2].

To me, the car broke. Plainly and simply. And had Tesla had a similar fuckup, I don’t think they’d find sympathy. (Reasonably.) That’s something that comes with a longevity.

It's an emissions violation, that's why.

Yes it should be better documented. I ran into this as well on my Subaru, but once the cap is on proper it -should- turn off within ~1hr of driving (constant or short trips)

To wit; if you don't put AdBlue in a diesel it will eventually outright stop working altogether even though it's only there for emissions.
