Only your posts though buddy... ? ? ?

Mostly just poorly informed from the lack of any real data input.

Rude! I would never attempt to post something actually informative!

Noice! ?

As predicted from the beta model photos and front side gaps, we now have confirmed grill lift for the frunk lid like the Lightning! That's awesome, much easier to load and organise, and even allows us to do an outside pull out sliding kitchen if we want. Now we just need to see some sail and under bed storage action!

I was hoping on the down-low for a tailgate style opening. Once again my unrealistic dreams are quashed.

Umm... maybe not.
Could be just the trunk of a vehicle behind the Cybertruck. Take a look at this video by Johnny Pena:
Beautiful truck.

Then again, the other trunk does have a different profile... more of a lip.
Hmm....

Lots of solid interactions that you have to consider, plus environmental and safety constraints.

I wonder if you can still see the road if the CT frunk is open.

Also I noticed in the crash video, in the under-body shots, that there are two structural elements that come forwards to hold up the front bumper. These look like they will be ideal to mount an aftermarket (optional?) bull bar to the front of the CT. The only thing then is given the grill lift opening now, the bull bar needs to be far enough forwards so the frunk grill can pass behind it. It also means any bull bar that is higher than the bumper will partially block frunk access.

Otherwise you need a bull bar that folds down too... or some sort of self folding transformer style bull bar, that can be deployed for country roads, but otherwise is hidden for driving around town. Could even be made speed sensitive and aerodynamic. I've been toying with idea of adding active aero parts to the CTas mods. Even a front and rear inflatable nylon cushion would work, you know like outside airbags. Only question is how do you get them to look nice, but maybe not that important whilst you are zooming past at speed.

I don’t think you’ll need a bull bar, but if you really want one it would just need to angle forward a little to clear the radius of the “grille” (for want of a better word) as it swings up.

It may well be from the car behind.

Looking closely
1. The Frunk is angled strangely from the body
2. Perhaps that 'shadow' is not shadow after all

What say ye bright sparks ?

If u look under and through to the other side there is no car there. Also i think our suspicions are correct that the frunk does open like a lightning. The weird open angle could be powered up and then tilt up and powered most likely. Everything looks promising tho.

Thought this might be a helpful reference,
it’s the complete width of the truck which means it’s possibly much wider opening than Lightning.

Obviously the wheel well is the limiting factor but that full width is going to enable a great many interesting things.

Can you imagine the night time photo of that frunk open to a nighttime sky with the blade of light cutting into the heavens.

Well, you've convinced me that this is not a pic of an open cyber frunk. Just creative pausing. One frame forward or back, and it doesn't look the same at all. It's definately something behind the CT

Yeah I see a trunk open in the vehicle behind the truck....
It also looks like this truck is missing a tailgate.

Hope it’s automated/powered ??
