Power Frunk DIY Installation.

[z168]

So its been a month since your install - how has it been? Any quirks or bugs since then?

 

[z168]

Bought it anyway. We’ll see...

It appears that both in the OP's install and the "Tesla Offer" install video that there is an additional release cord/wire that is intended to live with the existing manual release draw strings.

That's a older video for tesla offers previous system. There is no additional release wire now on the V2 teslaoffer system. Also the opening is nice and big so I don't hit my head on the hood.

My apologies for the misinformation. Tony is correct. I, too, ordered the Tesla Offer system and hope to install this weekend - no additional release wire!

Is anyone aware of an installer in the Atlanta area that has already done an installation (and the cost).

Come to Kansas City. We'll do it together for free. It's fun and satisfying. My wife just today said that she understands why Tesla didn't include this feature but sincerely thinks that it is a necessary feature that all X's should have.

That's a nice offer...thanks. It's a little too far for me but it will be interesting to see if anyone asks you for the same offer.

mine is coming this weekend. with all this work from home time, this would be good to install.

was there any mention that we should shut down the car while were working on it? This will be my first time to tear down into a Tesla so Im afraid to trip any sensors

Any other differences between hansshow anf the V2 tesla offer now outside of the bigger opening?

The Tesla Offer doesn't intersect/splice/connect to the interior frunk emergency release button.

Since I don't know what impact that has I ask if that is a good thing?

Haha! It makes the install a lot less complicated, but I don't know about the safety of it.

If you have WhatsApp you can contact the sales guys at Tesla Offer and they'll usually respond within an hour.

The hansshow appears to have gone on sale, I remember it being $475 but went down to $370. Not sure if it’s because they have a new version coming out. I guess we’ll see

 

[CuriousM3]

Just checked the website and it’s shows $500- 10% with code like i1tesla, is it $370 on another site?

So I did the install of the Tesla Offer product today. Took me about 2 hours.

The emergency release button in the frunk continues to operate as normal.

That might have been a limited time offer. https://hansshowbayarea.com/ had it for $370 last week

Teslaoffer system comes with 2 year warranty vs 1 with Hansshow.

While it annoys my that the front trunk won't close automatically, I'm not prepared to void a warranty and spend 500 clams to open and close an area I rarely use.

Solution in search of a problem?

Maybe they should market this to Tesla directly.

Its a truly great idea, but warranty voiding is a major concern on my part.

Instead, I just spent the money on a chademo charger, as they are back in stock.

It may be part of regulation why Tesla didn’t automate the frunk to open and close automatically

I'm going to Tesla service tomorrow for other reasons. The manager there will look at this device and tell me what it might potentially void as far as warranty.

After looking at the installation, 12 V battery might get voided, as well as front latch mechanism. Nothing else really seems to be violated.

Any other manufacturer would NOT void any part of factory warranty with this install, and I will argue that point and get it in writing if Tesla states the warranty will not be affected.

My vehicle is so low mileage that I was told that I should be careful with the Tesla warranty by the dealership. Only 27K after 2.5+ years.

I hate closing the front trunk because of the risks of denting it, and I will bring that up with Tesla, because their poor design makes me not want to use the front trunk as designed.

Best,
