If you keep putting coolant in (10 Ltrs sounds a lot) and it’s still low in the reservoir, you are losing it somewhere. If it’s not in the footwell and not on the drive/garage floor, it must be in the engine or gone through it. Have you looked at your oil? Do you have excessive smoke out of the exhaust and maybe a lot of water pooling around the exhaust tips?

The only other thing I can think of is it’s leaking steam when at operating temp through a high pressure leak. Any other leak would show up as a puddle under the car.

There’s only a certain number of places it can go. Steam/water to atmosphere in the engine bay (damp patches, puddles, damp carpets in cabin) water entering the oil (murky oil), and water entering the cylinder (rough running, water pooling at the exhaust tips, larger volume of smoke/steam). I can’t think of any other way. You may have to check very carefully to see high pressure loss. 2019 5.0 SC SVA (Current)

The coolant takes circa 11ltrs to fill (i know because i replaced my coolant at the weekend)

do a search for heater matrix leak, i seem to recall seeing it as an issue.....
