Tesla is presently testing the dual-motor Cybertruck, of which we’ve been getting plenty of photos, and now we have now the most effective look but at its wide-but-shallow frunk.
We’ve seen pictures of the Cybertruck’s large frunk opening earlier than, however they’ve at all times been taken from a distance or the aspect – by no means a fantastic have a look at the precise opening and the way a lot area there is perhaps for cargo. Final month, we received a blurry aspect video of the frunk with the liner open, which gave a reasonably good thought of what the opening seems to be like, however that was nonetheless at a poor angle.
This morning, we received extra pictures of the hood open, however there was no frunk liner put in, as an alternative giving us a view of the automobile’s internals – or not less than, the internals of an engineering check unit.
However now we have now a full picture of the particular frunk open with lining put in, exhibiting us simply how a lot cargo area it’ll have and the way usable that cargo area is perhaps. Plus, regardless of the low decision of the picture, when you look carefully, you’ll be able to see what seems to be just like the Cybertruck emblem embossed into the liner:

The picture was posted on the Cybertruck House owners Membership discussion board by discussion board person Outdated Spice, aka Ben. It was taken in the present day, however that’s all the knowledge we have now.
As proven within the final video, the opening is certainly reasonably shallow. It’s smaller than another frunks we’ve seen these days – smaller than the F-150 Lightning’s big opening, not so long as the Escalade IQ’s, and it could be much less deep than the Rivian’s (although that is tougher to inform from the picture).
Listed here are pictures of the frunks on every of these three automobiles to get a way of what we’re evaluating with right here:

However the factor the Cybertruck has over all three of these frunks is width and ease of entry. The Rivian is deep, however there’s a giant lift-over ledge, which makes it extra awkward to get heavy stuff inside. The Lightning has a little bit of a lip, too, although it’s comparatively low. The Escalade does effectively on this respect, with nearly no lip, making it simple to slip objects out and in, however its frunk is narrower than the Cybertruck’s extensive opening.
The Cybertruck’s frunk appears nearly fully flat. There’s a small ridge there, but it surely’s not excessive sufficient to limit sliding issues out and in of it. So when you’ve received one thing heavy that you just don’t wish to raise out and in of the trunk, and would reasonably slide it in – like a cooler filled with ice, for instance – the design of the Cybertruck’s frunk will likely be good for that utility.
Moreover, there’s little or no bumper in entrance of it, and nothing is painted, so that you don’t have to fret about scratching the paint or getting soiled stuff on the uncarpeted plastic inside. It even seems to be prefer it might function an impromptu bench for “frunk-gating,” however maybe the trunk lid is a bit of too low for these functions.
The benefit of entry does have a draw back, nevertheless. Cargo (equivalent to groceries) might shift round whereas driving and would possibly find yourself leaning in opposition to the trunk opening, able to spill out when opened. A internet might clear up this for house owners who use their frunk for these functions, although we don’t see any included mounting factors for one within the picture.
And, whereas the frunk is a bit of shallow, Tesla claims the Cybertruck would be the first sub-19-foot pickup with 4 doorways and a 6+ foot mattress (although that document may not final lengthy if the TELO truck makes it to manufacturing). One thing needed to give, and admittedly, extra trunk area might be extra usable than extra frunk area. So it’s comprehensible that this alternative was made.
What do you consider the Tesla Cybertruck’s frunk now that we’ve gotten a greater have a look at it? Is it what you anticipated? What are you planning to hold round in it? Tell us within the feedback.
