Yeah, F-ing hate it. I go and start to reply and then find out the post was from a year or 2 ago and the info/question no longer applies to current cars.

I tested this on my Model Y today. 12V battery is fine. When the car is locked, 12V to the jumpier leads does NOT open the frunk. I did turn off Bluetooth on my iPhone for this test. When the car is unlocked, 12v to the jumpers does open the frunk. This is exactly what the owner's manual says it will do. I assume the jumper thing will work if the 12V battery is dead, as that is what the jumpers are for.

Mine is a 2021 Model Y, LR, Software version 2021.4.48.

Thank you so much for this test and reply; though it does make everything even more confusing here, given the mixed results. @MarkS22 is no longer coming up as a tag-able profile. Is he still a member of Tesla Motors Club? MarkS22, did you retry this test more recently with Bluetooth disabled?
