Kickstarting the CT ?

Just in case people were curious.

PS, Chickens need FSD to drive a Cybertruck. Their feet won’t reach the floor.

Wait, last I heard, chickens don't really fly. So unless they are rolling around, I would assume their feet will reach something akin to a floor. But if their feet are on the floor, they won't be able to look out the front window. So I do agree that they need FSD to drive the CT for them.

Not sure the passengers will be too happy having to be so crowded in the frunk once it is closed for the drive. One has to wonder though how many would fit in the bed with the tonneau closed.

That style trunk is 40 years old.

Wonder where ford got the idea of a frunk and the name?

That portmantau has been around a while

But front trunks have been around a touch longer

The rear-mounted engine may usurp some rear load space in the Volkswagen Squareback, but a roomy front trunk makes up for the loss. ​

Interesting factoid: the word “trunk” isn’t related to being at the back, so alone “trunk” should be just fine.

No clue on the name.. but my 69 beetle had a trunk in the front.. cause it was a rear engine.

We refer to them as the "trunk", the "frunk", and the "lunk" (lower trunk, under the cover in the model 3). Helps to tell the wife where I put something on a road trip....

Porsche drivers have called their front trunk a “Frunk” for decades.

Surprised nobody noticed this.

Title of the post promised a “Spotted” Cybertruck. What we actually get is camouflage

 

[cvalue13]

good as I could get

liner definitely out

just under the green arrow’s hump you can see what is definitely the panel attachment bracket (of fame from the Q1 pilot line photo); and pretty sure the big grey box under the point of the green arrow is the casting’s wheel well intrusion

it’s really hard to estimate given the CT’s unique proportions and layout

whats easier to judge: at ain’t gonna be significantly larger than the Lightning Frunk (and by significantly I mean the 50-100% larger some were eyeballing - themselves led astray by the same issue of unique proportions and layout)

which to me, being 10-20% off different plus or minus is just fine and no knock at all

it’s the cabin dimensions I care more about
