Cybertruck spotted with frunk open, revealing waterfall design!

[Coolbreeze704]

first, nice truck (we’re twinsies)

what I was driving at is better seen by this:

again using the Raptor because of same sized tires for scale

the yellow and blue vertical line are the face of the dash (under which leg room extends forward)

the topmost red line is the highest point of the hood, which is also ~the top of the dash (eg the uppermost bounds of the possible interior headroom)

the middle red line is the lowest point of the hood (eg the lower bounds of the possible interior headroom)

the distance between the bottommost red line and topmost red line give some scale regarding the relative depth of the front ends

As for the width, given the CTs large but inset tires, and the given the resulting inset wheel wells, and given the further encroaching encapsulation by the front casting, I’’ll be eager to see the available width within the usable front cargo area

Merely a rough-out for one guesstimate of the encroachment on sides as relates to centerline and hood height

Again, none of this to argue what the actual interior cargo space will be, but instead only outlining the devil’s advocate elements that I see - counterbalancing promise I see - that leaves me less certain the CT’s frunk is self-evidently materially larger than the Lightning’s

As always , great work. Will be interesting to see once details come out soon.

Roo bar actually. Nobody wants to catch a roo, especially if they jump and land on your windscreen, and leak into the car trhough the window cracks...

But if you hit a bull you normally have a wreck of a car next to it, it will stop you, bull bar, or roo bar, or not.

But you said "Bull Bar" ? The wife reminded me that it was indeed described as a "Roo Bar". Believe me, I was nervous driving at dusk after seeing so many Kngaroo carcassas littering the East Coast highway's ...

So many conclusions when it is not possible to see s****t, other than a side view of an open hood!!!
The 190E has a bigger "waterfall" hood!!

What view would you like? What would provide you ample evidence of whatever you’re worried about?

I want to see a dog in the front trunk as it opens the dog jumps into my arms. Until I see this. It doesnt pass the smell test

NICE !!!

Fun fact: I was gonna end my post with "people see what they want to see".

Proven false!

I want to see a CyberTruck in my driveway....

This also guarantees that we will get the top light bar because DOT doesn't allow lights to be on movable panels and the workaround is to have other lights as well. You can see this on a lot of taillights that are integrated into a rear liftgate where there is a second set of rear lights, usually around the bumper, that only come on when the liftgate is open.

The headlights are not moving with the frunk they're fixed in place just below it hence why it is not an issue.

This is awesome, the winch could be hidden inside the frunk.

Cool Idea... but ... what will it attach to? There must be a REALLY strong attachement point or... disaster! Plus, if your frunk is open while winching you cant see what you are doing .

Strawberry Roo Bar pie sounds nice.

Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, DOT §393.25 actually says:

"Mounting.
Headlamps shall be mounted and aimable in accordance with FMVSS No. 108. Auxiliary driving
lamps and front fog lamps shall be mounted so that the beams are aimable and the mounting shall prevent the aim of the lighting device from being disturbed while the vehicle is operating
on public roads."


This is open for interpretation, of course, but as long as the lights can't be adjusted while the vehicle is in operation, It should be legal. Tesla will have no problem making sure the CT will not drive with the Frunk open.

Lightning hood light bar also not the headlights

Would be better if photographer/other people’s work were better cited

Better hope the wife doesn't use the frunk. Just saying.
