I think one side may be the air intake for the engine. This has been covered in a post here before, but I can't locate it quickly. Someone saw that one side was open and thought a part was missing. From what I remember, they called their dealer about it and of course the dealer told them they would have to order it for them, rather than telling them it was normal.
It’s completely normal. It’s for air flow to cool the electric motor and associated electronics. It’s not needed on the other side where the engine is located since that is cooled by the radiator. Here is the original thread. https://insideevsforum.com/community/index.php?threads/missing-piece-on-front-bumper.3929/#post-39109
Ah, that makes sense. Thanks for satisfying my curiosity; sorry I didn’t find the original thread in my own.
