We lastly have a transparent shot of the Tesla Cybertruck with frunk open

Tesla is presently testing the dual-motor Cybertruck, of which we’ve been getting a variety of photos, and now we’ve got one of the best look but at its wide-but-shallow frunk.

We’ve seen pictures of the Cybertruck’s huge frunk opening earlier than, however they’ve all the time been taken from a distance or the facet – by no means an incredible have a look at the precise opening and the way a lot area there is perhaps for cargo. Final month, we obtained a blurry facet video of the frunk with the liner open, which gave a reasonably good thought of what the opening appears like, however that was nonetheless at a poor angle.

This morning, we obtained extra pictures of the hood open, however there was no frunk liner put in, as a substitute giving us a view of the automotive’s internals – or at the least, the internals of an engineering check unit.

However now we’ve got a full photograph of the particular frunk open with lining put in, displaying us simply how a lot cargo area it’s going to have and the way usable that cargo area is perhaps. Plus, regardless of the low decision of the photograph, when you look intently, you possibly can see what appears just like the Cybertruck brand embossed into the liner:

The photograph was posted on the Cybertruck Owners Club forum by discussion board consumer Outdated Spice, aka Ben. It was taken at the moment, however that’s all the knowledge we’ve got.

As proven within the final video, the opening is certainly moderately shallow. It’s smaller than another frunks we’ve seen recently – smaller than the F-150 Lightning’s large opening, not so long as the Escalade IQ’s, and it might be much less deep than the Rivian’s (although that is more durable to inform from the photograph).

Listed here are pictures of the frunks on every of these three autos 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 an enormous 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 properly 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 huge opening.

The Cybertruck’s frunk appears nearly utterly flat. There’s a small ridge there, nevertheless it’s not excessive sufficient to limit sliding issues out and in of it. So when you’ve obtained one thing heavy that you simply don’t wish to elevate out and in of the trunk, and would moderately 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 appears prefer it may function an impromptu bench for “frunk-gating,” however maybe the trunk lid is slightly too low for these functions.

The convenience of entry does have a draw back, nonetheless. Cargo (reminiscent of groceries) may shift round whereas driving and would possibly find yourself leaning in opposition to the trunk opening, able to spill out when opened. A web may remedy this for homeowners who use their frunk for these functions, although we don’t see any included mounting factors for one within the photograph.

And, whereas the frunk is slightly shallow, Tesla claims the Cybertruck would be the first sub-19-foot pickup with 4 doorways and a 6+ foot mattress (although that document won’t final lengthy if the TELO truck makes it to manufacturing). One thing needed to give, and albeit, 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.
