Group Buy for Power Trunk/Frunk Liftgate!

[not4antoher]

Lol - I basically have a muscle spasm to get it to open!

Do me a favor and take a vid w/ your phone?

Mine never works on rainy days.

 

[notrhj]

Only works when I don’t have my hands full
Or so it seams

So when I first installed it I thought it to be very inconsistent. Then I realized that I had to make a very quick forward/backward kicking motion. Almost like trying to make someone flinch. And it works every time now.

Your guidance was a god send. Doing a quick kick like you suggested worked 5 out of 5 attempts! Here's hoping it wasn't a fluke

What’s really cool is as it’s opening or closing you can do a quick kick again and it will pause it.

I kicked faster than usual, and it worked even in rainy day!
Thank you!!!!!

Confirmed 100% working with fast kicking motion.

How long after order does it normally take Hansshow to start delivering? I ordered in the Black Friday specials and still no indication it has even shipped yet.

I order a frunk Black Friday, cricket’s
They did charge my card and it was cheaper than our Group purchase
I asked about costs for a version trunk V2 upgrade. Crickets
I asked about exchange for a trunk V2 kit, crickets.
The teslasoffer kits are looking better and better

It takes a while to ship these from China. I had zero communication until the thing was on my doorstep.

Has anyone with the frunk kit had the frunk open slightly but stayed latched while driving?

Last night I got cut off, hit the brakes and honked. Right after that I got a warning on the screen that the frunk was open. It still looked closed but when I pulled over to check it was popped open. Had to press it down to close.

I had nothing in the frunk (have seen reports of stuff shifting around and hitting the emergency release button).

Strange indeed. What you described has never happened to me.. at least not yet. I installed my Frunk and Trunk kits about 2 months ago.

Perhaps not related, but on very rare occasions, my power Trunk will not completely latch/lock close. I have my closing force set on the lowest setting to get that "soft" close effect. I suspect there is some slight variance in the power output of the Hansshow motor. So, every once in a blue moon, the trunk closes with a slightly softer force than normal. When this happens, the trunk latch does not fully engage and does not get pulled down into the fully locked position during that final closing/locking process. Thankfully, this rarely happens and I always watch the closing operation to make sure the trunk fully latches/locks. So, not an issue for me.

Of course, the Frunk motor/kit does not have a separate setting for closing force... only closing speed. So, that (the amount of closing force) would not be the culprit/cause in your case. Perhaps some minor adjustment of your Frunk latch/bracket position is required to ensure it makes good contact (and locks) 100% of the time?

Hope this helps....

Interesting point. I don't typically double check that it's latched down. I had been driving for about 30 minutes and hadn't used the frunk in a few days but hard braking obviously caused something loosen off enough.

I think I'm going to move the locking mechanism held by the two bolts down slightly in an effort to ensure it locks all the way.

My kit shipped from Singapore, the declared value to customs was $60 (sorry had to put it out there I was furious with the margins) - shipped within a week of ordering with DHL and received 3 days after. They were very responsive on WhatsApp. versions after 11/27 are the v3 version (or v2 maybe can't remember) which accurately shows the status of the trunk.

It's a long wait and requires patience and then comes the install - hope it all goes well!

In the end, it's all worth it.

When I installed & set-up my power Frunk, I actually had to raise the vehicle’s locking mechanism/assembly in order for the Frunk hook to make complete contact with the assembly and get pulled down properly into the locked position. I also found that it was equally as important to get the left-to-right position of the latch assembly in the “correct“ spot. In other words, you may need to adjust both the vertical and horizontal position of the latch assembly.

Good luck!

Check if the debugging plug is disconnected. If it is connected all the time, it may trigger by mistake.

what is the website to order these from?
