Subwoofer? Is that what the hole is for?

Thanks for all of the information everyone.

I often wondered if they had something similar for the frunk.

Funny, my frunk cover came in the mail today. Around $60.

So if you look at https://epc.teslamotors.com/#/systemGroups/47286 there is only one part for the rear shelf, so I wouldn't think there are 2 different configurations for sub/no-sub just that they changed the part over time.

That link is for the Model S?

Okay, installed the frunk cover. Comes with a roll of chinese-version 3M tape, and a bunch of bolts that you can fit into any holes in your hood. I had 2, so I used two bolts.

Thank for the pictures. I just saw that on Amazon when I looked up the link for the trunk version. It was not available when I ordered, or I would have ordered it as well. It just gives the car a more finished look.

What is the purpose of the insulation for the frunk other than the finished look?
Does it quiet the cabin more?

Do you have a subwoofer?

Not that I am aware, certainly not in hole!

Where did you purchase your frunk cover?

That looks awesome.

I have the sub with hole in the trunk. I also got the same cover as linked from Amazon. Trunk seems more finished and subjectively sounds like less road noise getting through. Could always just open a setback. Suprisiingly, subwoofer is still bassy as ever.

is there supposed to be a rattle when the deeper bass hits? I can definitely hear one coming from the rear. no hole.

On ICE cars the pad has plastic clips that are designed to melt from an engine fire and pad will smother the fire. Not sure what this one will do....

Quieter? Highly doubtful, not that I can tell.
