Model 3 power frunk UI questions

This is great, seems like it would be my preferred method to close rather than bending down to push the button inside the frunk.

Just set up voice control to do it. If you have iPhone, it's easy to set up voice control to open/close with Stats app. If you have an Apple Watch, you can just voice control with that as well and don't have to worry about Siri asking you to unlock the phone first before running command.

Super easy.

I don't have Apple. Was using EV Car through Google Assistant but it got pulled a little while back. The persistent notification on my phone has ended up being really useful.

I love using the kick sensor with the frunk.

That's a thing? I thought it was only the trunk.

Yup. Blows other drivers minds at the Supercharger when I kick toward the front of my car and the frunk opens or closes.

I have seen reviews of this, and it looks like there is a slim chance that going over certain bumps/things at low speed could open this. The possibility of that happening at all would make me cautious of doing frunk foot sensor.

The frunk kick sensor uses the frunk release wires behind the tow hook cover. That means that the kick sensor can send it's signal all it wants, but the car will only open the frunk if the car is unlocked AND in park. I've tried it, and as soon as the car is out of park it stops working.

I've not experienced that. I wonder what version of FW they're on.
