no transmission fluid dipstick in 2013+ models?

[tomcat1446]

How are owners doing the drain and fill method if there's no dipstick fill tube ?

What make you think there's no trans dipstick tube on 13+?

in this video link (video #5) it shows the transmission dipstick near the battery, in 2013+ models, it was removed, at least in my 2013 it's not there unless I'm wrong, I'll check again but I don't see it, maybe another 2013+ owner can confirm

in a lot of new cars the transmission dipstick is gone, I guess manufacturers don't want the average joe to put in the wrong fluid or the wrong amount :

Weird. On my 08 its rubber, not a ring but more like a plug. Its down pretty low to left of battery. Hope yours has it. That would be lame. How else would you flush the fluid?

I can confirm on my 2014 there's no transmission dipstick, I've been taking it to the dealer for transmission flush every 30K instead.
