I'm using electric scissor jack with mounted puck for my seasonal tire change. The jack is rated 2-Ton.

Stalks removed, USS sensors removed , no taillights when the trunk is up (dangerous at night) and call these improvements... I need more shots of Tequila to get me convinced.

System failure is not uncommon but the lack of property designed emergency release is what made me roll-back to OEM setup. Without the powered frunk, the frunk is now unused (Who wants to get their hands dirty?) I'm still considering buying another power frunk kit once there's a new design...

For those that are interested to see the condition of the soft close motor and actuator connectors after a year,

Please see attached picture and think of ways to unlatch when the soft close motor failed exactly at that position. Stronger spring won't even help on this situation so as the emergency release cable.

Agreed, the cable is acting like a drain spout that water will eventually reach the motor internal parts. It's the bad design of emergency release cable that made me decide to remove the power frunk. How can you pull it when you're pulling against the soft motor cable, there is no way because...

Post #32 matched my latch and cable stuck at cable pulled down position. The motor is dead. I applied 12 volts directly on the terminals and no movement. Checked with DMM and it's open circuit. Opened it up and saw rust on the motor.

Soft closed motor failed. It failed at the position with the cable pulling the latch down. Emergency release cable was also useless because the motor is worm gear type thus it won't move at all. Had to remove fender plastic liner and plastic panel under the bumper to reach the soft close motor...

Same marketing gimmick again. Put controversial steering wheel so people won't talk about aging body style.

Managed to open the frunk by removing many plastic panels just to reach the soft close motor and cutting the cable. I completely got rid of it.

After 2 years of aftermarket mud guards...

Bad news for my frunk, it's now summer and my frunk won't open again. The last time it won't open it just suddenly popped open while I'm on the highway and because of this, I just tapped the hood for additional safety measure. All I could here was 2 clicks coming from the latch and slight...

Last winter, my frunk won't open (from Hansshow) and I thought it was due to extreme cold weather because it opened after pouring warm water around the hood. Now it's summer, it won't open again. All I could hear was the clicking sound of the latch and a brief actuator action. Once I manage to...

For efficiency like the flushed door handles and ugly wheel covers.

With minimal available public charging stations and lack of charging etiquette, ICE is still more convenient for less trouble out of town long distance driving. Such as this, both L2 charging stations blocked by Tesla and Volt.

You can not rely on hotel L2 chargers, if not ICEd, some EV owners still doesn't have the charging etiquette, like parked but not charging or done charging but it will stay there till the next day.

I use J1772 adapter regularly for charging at work without any issues. My CCS adapter usage so far is not great because sometimes I will just give up and then the next car (non-Tesla) would just be fine.

Anybody having proximity error while using CCS1 adapter? I just recently bought a Hanshow CCS adapter and sometimes I was not able to charge because of proximity error.

Don't let frunk not opening scare you away from having power frunk, my frunk was pretty much useless without it. With or without power frunk, I have had issues opening it during extreme cold conditions. My only advice, due to bad emergency cable design, DO NOT USE it unless it's really...

Agreed! Its the cold weather. And the emergency release cable is a bad design. You really need to pull it hard, up to the point of breaking to make it work. Work around for now, don't use it if the weather is below freezing point. And try not use the emergency cable, it will more likely jammed...

This happened to me as well and here are my observations and the fixed. 1. Frunk failed to open due to ice build up. 2. Did not do any attempt to open it again but just continued to drive. After about 30 min while driving on the highway, suddenly the message "frunk is open" popped up. And a...

Took delivery of our 2021 Model 3 SR+ on December 22, 2020 and 1 week later lost heat, "Climate keeper unavailable due to system fault". It's been on SC since then and waiting for parts.
