Awfully suspicious that the video clip of the frunk opening or closing was only a 3 second clip that didn't capture if its powered.... must have figured no one would care and just hit stop :p
Personally I don't think the email is legit. Something about that last sentence and the word "perfectionism" seems unnatural to me but who knows. Makes for some fun banter while we wait.
Just to let you know, you are a factor of 10 with that giant .004" gap. A calipers is not accurate enough for that level of precision (typically +/-.001) and you have to start looking at mircometers (the tool).
Having measurement tools to measure to this level at a production scale is non...
A few impressions I get...
I never thought the CT frunk would be as large as F150. This does appear to be fairly small. Seems to go more with the idea of the overall length was made shorter and cab pushed forward a bit more?
Based on no visible gas shock or actuator, what do we make of the...
I agree it definitely has angles that look better than others. I overall like it (took some time) but some angles do look pretty odd. I think maybe its not an Ambi-Turner?
Would it be safe to assume the volume production line would be using an AGV/AMR style powered cart?
This could be:
-A manual build setup for low volume prior to the high volume line (as suggested above, and most likely scenario)
-A bodied pulled offline and moved to a manual dolly cart for...
Here was my thinking on the outlets:
The door we saw hints that SOMETHING will be there. It seems like at minimum a 120V will be there. The size of that door looks small for multiple outlets. For that reason I put 240V and Pneumatic outlets as "unknown". Obviously that door could easily...
After all the videos and leaks from the past week I am trying to get a summary of features and functions and group them into “likely, unlikely, and unknown” based on the hints we have.
Obviously this is all speculation and nothing is final until it ships.
