Need help locating of block heater

Hi, I have a 2020 Nissan Maxima Platinum. Can someone tell me where actual block heater is located? I can't seem to find the block heater cord and I want to trace it from the engine end. It is -33C outside and I need to plug the car in.

Based on your first engine pic, I'm not entirely sure you have the block heater option, but I could be wrong. Have you read your owner's manual? If you have it, it should spell it out for you.
The block heater cord on the nissan maxima hangs out of the car's grill, but also can be found just inside the hood. Perhaps look again?

This Maxima has it, about dead center in the picture

Where do you live that it's 27 degrees F below 0? Yikes

The dealer charged me $495 + tax for it. It better be there. I was hoping they tucked it somewhere. Just needed to know where is the block heater begins so that I can looking around there. Otherwise, I will have to take some time off from work and go back there. Thank you for your help

Your dealer's service manager does not have a phone number you can call and ask "Where is my block heater"?

After two hours of waiting at the dealer, the sales guy with Service manager came and told me that the car did not have a block heater unit installed. They have to order it in and it is a three hours job. I booked time to come in this Saturday to have it done.

You seem pretty calm for a guy who paid $495 for something and didn't get it. I would be livid and would be asking for a partial refund as compensation for their stupidity and wasting your time now and on Saturday. At least it's getting handled though. Thanks for reporting back.

Oh, believe me, I will give them a piece of my mind after they finished installing it. Don't want to **** the mechanical yet, he might do something funny to the car.😂
