I did the wheel well cover and reached for the latch motor and I opened the motor and as soon as I did that the frunk popped open. Now I am dealing with Henshaw to get a replacement.
I did contact Henshaw and hopefully they will replace the mechanism and at that time of install I will be installing a pull cable for emergency just as I did when I used to install shaved door handles/door poppers(good ole’ days). If I were you I would test out your pull cable while you can and...
Hey Fellas, I just got her opened and found the culprit. It was the auto frunk mechanism and it froze to close. I took off the wheel well cover and reached the locking mechanism and opened it and as soon as I did that the frunk popped open. Thanks for all the help and suggestions. I will be...

Mostly it will come down to the install from my opinion. I have installed auto locks/windows with cheap parts and from my experience it is mostly the install(90%) that fail. Even OEM parts fail from time to time in my opinion. Alignment of the latch is probably the most important part of the...
How fast where you going when this happened? what after market parts have you installed? was there any electrical burn smell after this happened? did you get a chance to look under the car and if yes have you taken any photos? was there anything hanging from the car(rearend) after you pulled...
You can try tweeting it and tag Elon to see if he responds. I doubt he would respond, but worth a try. Ive seen him respond to the most silliest things.
