Although these stronger struts will make the boot lid pop up when it opens, won’t they also make it harder to close?

It tried it on my friends and it is slighty harder but not much.

Also when it auto opens it does seem to be quite hard when it opens up? Im not getting because of this and will see how long they last on my friends!

These are the ones that I want...........

Yep Brian from i1 Tesla was the Godfarther who invented both the Frunk & Front springs design.

Its versions of these that are available on amazon. Have ordered some at £10 per end, has to be worth a try!

That’s what I was thinking. Having looked at a few online reviews/videos it looks the bonnet isn’t too hard to close but the boot is a bit harder to close. Taking a punt for £10-20 shouldn’t be a big deal. Will grab a set at some point.

I ordered both trunk and frunk pairs from Amazon as shown in the links above. They are ridiculously cheap but for £10 they look good quality but not fitted them yet as the car has got to go for some paint and trim rectification at a service centre next week. Will report back.

Also have a lighter release spring for the frunk on its way to make closing it again easier. Currently avoiding using it out of paranoia over the paint, dents and fingerprints. needs a really hard shove to close it :/

It just needs firm pressure but as I was instructed in handover you need to do it two-handed on either side of the catch.

Curiously at my handover the Tesla guy specifically explained and demonstrated closing the Frunk with one hand centrally over the Tesla logo! I said to him that every other person says two hands either side ... I don't think he was impressed with me ... mind you I also had a mild disagreement on my test drive when the guy insisted that the regenerative braking didn't actually recharge the battery, it just "increases overall efficiency but technically doesn't charge the battery" ... he was on his own with that one.

Interesting. Would like to try one myself, where can you buy them ?

Thought I would share a couple of pics for the Jeda USB Hub. I ordered mine back in July and it arrived today. Fits neatly, tidies the cables up a bit and hides the Dashcam/Sentry SSD. I ordered two of them – the other one is on eBay if anyone’s interested.

I have been wanting one of these. Just bought your eBay listed one.

 

[NewbieT]

Thanks, not cheap but looks the part. Figured sharing postage was a good thing.

exactly the same at mine... and he was equally unimpressed... that I had read the manual and he, apparently, hadn't

The ones with springs (Everyone selling them seems to have them red!) are for the trunk, ones without are frunk

I’m going to buy the £10.00 trunk ones linked above . Anyone able to Link to frunk ones ?

So, this is the theory:

and after much hunting, grunting, being pissed off at total lack of consistency of describing springs, and the damn insistence of using bloomin inches for everything, I got far enough down the comments and found a part number for a slightly stronger spring that is more compatible with OEM struts (too weak and it doesn't jump up enough to grab, stronger spring or doubling up needed). Anyway, eventually tracked down this on order from the US:
Prime-Line 7/16 in. Dia. x 1-7/8 in. L Extension Spring 2 pk, SP 9605 49793096050 | eBay
£4 including delivery from the US! But the hassle of ID'ing it still pains me.

I've ordered these: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07WYJ58NF/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
TBH, I have my doubts at ~£10, but will see! If these are up to a million miles why didn't tesla just install them in the first place? I'm assuming cheap rubbish, but for the price I can't bring myself to cancel the order. Will be very wary when fitting.

 

[BelfastEV]

Will one of each of these cover frunk and trunk ????

[Avendit]

Thats the pair I've ordered. Feel free to wait for a review if you want? Should be fitting the frunk next week, trunk looking to take a bit longer to arrive.

£25 if you want some that are already in the UK...
