No, you can't short the pads. If there's no capacitor there then there likely never was unless you can see obvious damage. Not all components are placed when manufacturing. A picture would help but it could be a decoupling capacitor which has been deemed unnecessary or not required for the model. So it's unlikely to be the issue. It could still be other capacitors that are getting old but it would be the electrolytic ones.

It sounds like a strange scenario. You can write a lot of text but not make it precise?
I'd say it's better to have it short and precise. It gives you an opportunity to study the details and learn while the long text sounds like it could be more open to interpretation and confusion
There was one time when I put a mold filled with liquid water in a cold container and made solid water.
Is it all of them?
Any tips on using solder paste? I tried it before but I feel like it just dried up when I heated it.
Det ser inte bra ut för Tesla just nu. De får gärna fortsätta lida. Läste en artikel igår om hur de lurat kunder som haft allvarliga problem med bilarna redan efter första dagen.
Hoppas det svettas gott på Tesla. Riktigt kul att se facken jobba tillsammans.
Okay, that certainly sounds like damage then. Most capacitors are pretty easy to solder and extremely cheap, you can buy them in small quantities. I would try a repair if you know what value capacitor
