A recent video recorded within Tesla’s Gigafactory Texas has unveiled the frunk of the upcoming Cybertruck model, marking the first public view of this feature.
As anticipated based on recent sightings, the frunk appears to be compact in size, but its presence is notable.
Front trunks, often referred to as frunks, hold greater significance in electric pickup trucks compared to conventional passenger electric cars, given the unique bed configuration of trucks versus traditional trunks.
The concept of having an enclosed storage compartment within a vehicle, designed to remain clean and organized, holds particular appeal, even though the Cybertruck’s bed features a cover.
Earlier this year, an image emerged of the Cybertruck with its hood open, sparking hopes of a potentially sizable frunk. However, observations from recent test vehicles on the road have shifted expectations.
A leaked video from inside a Tesla facility has provided a more detailed view of the frunk area in the Cybertruck. While the space lacked a liner, making it difficult to ascertain its final appearance, the busy layout sparked concerns that there might not even be a frunk.
At the very least, the video suggested that the Cybertruck would include a small frunk.
A personal anecdote shared by someone who previously owned a Ridgeline, which featured a trunk-like compartment in the bed, highlighted the potential practicality of such an arrangement in electric pickups, even though it was larger than the showcased frunk.
A recently surfaced TikTok video, allegedly from within Gigafactory Texas, offered further insight into the potential final design of the Cybertruck’s frunk. The video revealed a partially installed liner with certain trims missing, thereby confirming the presence of a small frunk.
While precise dimensions are challenging to determine, the frunk appears to be capable of accommodating a couple of carry-on suitcases or a moderate amount of groceries.
Tesla is anticipated to initiate deliveries of the Cybertruck by the conclusion of the upcoming month. The automaker is expected to unveil additional details, specifications, and pricing for the electric pickup truck during the delivery event.
