Can you describe the coolant top offs more thoroughly? In terms of roughly how often to check, what to expect, etc. It would be much appreciated.
Nothing honestly to worry about. The car will throw a warning when it's necessary but for piece of mind the turbo tank is easy to eyeball the level vs the main tank.

For what it's worth some 2019s and my 2020 were delivered via the VPC in Long Beach without proper coolant levels. There are old threads on that. After about 6 months of driving I too got the message. Called my SA and he said check the turbo tank (which was fine) so safe to drive and bring it in and we'll top it off. That was now over 3 years ago and haven't had an issue since. Granted they may have topped off during the annual maintenance appointments but checking the invoices on them no mention whatsoever.
