I’m an idiot. Please help. Closed frunk with disconnected battery.

[Rockster]

The instrument cluster on my S died and I’m in the middle of replacing it with a ReelDeal replacement screen.

I had to leave for a while in the middle of the project and, in a moment of sheer idiocy, I completely closed the frunk with the 12v battery and the HV battery disconnected.

Is it possible for me to get the frunk open somehow (short of using a saw, that is)?!?!?!

Yes. Three different ways depending on year.

It’s a March 2015 P85.

Correct me if Im wrong, but can't you remove the nosecone, apply 12V to the jumper posts and use the keyfob to double click open the frunk?

I didn’t think that would be possible if both the 12v and the HV battery are completely disconnected, as is my situation. (I hope I’m wrong. It’s nearly 1:00 a.m. here , so a little late in the day to try but I’m definitely going to try that in the morning.)

Holy cow! It worked!

I had just assumed that the nosecone jumper method would not work if the 12v battery was completely disconnected.

I’m out of the doghouse.

Thanks, gang!

Collectively, we can fix anything.
