Tesla adding powered frunk to Model Y?

[YNoVA]

Looks like Tesla is finally adding a powered Frunk to the Y.

Is Tesla adding a powered frunk to their vehicles? App update suggests they might

A new update for Tesla's mobile app suggests that the automotive company may be adding a powered frunk to their vehicles soon.

Great. Hope for retrofit (don’t see why not).

That's the same site that said I'd have blended braking/regen 2 releases ago which never arrived, and based a story saying the M3 and MY are getting the yoke on a picture of one in the semi.

Sometimes you have to see a website for what it is, it's not a complete clickbait machine for advertising revenue like some are, but they do seem to be getting carried away with the speculative news.

I think its important to note that despite what the title says, this is all speculation. Notateslaapp.com is FULL of speculation.

Someone suggested Track Model for MYP's, Elon responds "OK". (Basically acknowledging the request). Articles written saying Model Y's to get track mode "confirmed by Elon". I think people read way more into his tweets that is actually there.

As for the animation, it could simply be an animation that shows the frunk was closed (manually or not). I'm not saying auto-frunks ARENT coming. I'm just saying take whats posted on that site with a grain of salt.

I'm not going to list all of the failed prophecies, you can see them yourself here:

Just scroll to the bottom and read up.

I doubt this will be in the MY before the MS/MX. Those are low volume vehicles and much easier to add as feature.

hardly use the frunk-not worth investing. There're many new EVs coming but many do not even have a frunk-so, Tesla don't need to upgrade the frunk.

Dot hold your breath. Soft close doors for M£ and MY would be nice - or a powered door function like the X. I don't see Tesla adding what it doesn't need to for a while yet - so I wont need retro fit because by then I'll be into a another car!

 

[blinkme323]

I'd much rather have track mode

 

[Mateo83]

I would pay for that feature from Telsa.

I would pay for that feature from Telsa.

I would too and would use the Frunk more.

 

[z335is]

So many more useful features than this. Literally bottom of the list

loved the hanshow power Frunk! i stored my Take out in there and any valuable. Also gym bag. So keep all the smell away from the main cabin.

without the power frunk, Im afraid to close the hood without denting it.

Its really not that hard at all. You lower the hood down by hand till its resting on the latch, then press it with the heel of your hand like so:

No damage, no stress, no dents, no issues.

That’s exactly what I was thinking.

Tesla is adding air conditioned seats to the MY too ! Hold your breath Tesla Model 3 & Y Could Get Ventilated Seats, Hints Owner's Manual

 

[Kairide]

Closing the frunk is not really that complicated or scary.

based a story saying the M3 and MY are getting the yoke on a picture of one in the semi.

They didn't say they were going to get the yoke did they? They just said that they were going to lose the stalks, and get a round steering wheel with the additional buttons on it like the Semi pictures show.

I’d rather have apple CarPlay & android auto without the current hackery. I have the 9” hansshow behind steering wheel consol & like it but would be great if this came standard.

That is how they get you to upgrade to an S or X
