Threaded bolt sticking out upper right side of trunk

Question: What is the purpose of the threaded bolt sticking out of the upper right side of the trunk of a Model 3?

Photo? Trunk or trunk lid?

You talking about this? Looks like a grounding point, probably for the sound system amplifier. Mine has a small green grommet showing under the nut.

Nobody knows...

I 3d printed a hook that screws on it for bags though. Not my picture.

this. Bag hook.

So, it's a bag hook, minus the hook.

Maybe Tesla deleted the bag hook to lower costs. Owners might buy one in their shop. Except they don't sell one.

And did you ever see a cargo containment system, however sparse, that wasn't symmetrical? Just a bag hook on one side? Not both? Hmmm...Elon spent a lot of time on this one. If you loosen the nut, you'll see what it is for...

Lol nobody said that's what elon made it for. That's just what everyone is using it for.

Tesla did delete the frunk bag hooks then sell them in the store though. I 3d printed them also.
