Trying to sell that thing as a "Mustang" should be a crime. |

I think its a completely different configuration. I don't think a frunk tray could fit above it. The components in the photo don't appear to be densely packed so I think a lot of the empty volume exists between those components. With the frunk, they are likely routing cables and tubes around the 2.6 cubic foot frunk. Edit: Here is a shrimp-less photo of the small 2025 Mustang Mach-E frunk (a se...
I'm not convinced. I'd like to see a picture of the frunk-less version from a different angle where the perspective isn't flattened. Even as it is, though, I see the same shape in the frunkless version as I do in the frunk.
(Also, why would Ford design a second mechanical configuration, when they already had to make it more compact for the version with the frunk anyway? It doesn't make sense for it to be different because designing two things with two different BOMs and assembly processes costs way more than just letting it all be the same.) |

You have convinced me. New frunk is too shallow to be practical, only a small set of their customers want it, and Ford wants to reduce cost of the base model. I could possibly see a ease of manufacturing be worth making a different BOM if the frunk dramatically changed the layout, but that I don't think that is what happened. |

I don't think VW ever called it a frunk. I would believe you if you insist they did it can provide any evidence. Tesla want the first to put storage up there, but they did coin "frunk".
I suppose people were calling it a frunk even if vw didnt. Same for rear engined Porsche and MR2 vehicles. |

I mean, still seems gross.
I don't see how the smell of shrimp would ever leave when you have 20lbs of it sitting in ice right next to the air intake |

The pictures of the Mach E Frunk filled with chicken and shrimp are absolutely killing me lmao. If the car was $500 cheaper without the frunk, then whatever, i guess, but the article makes it seem like it just costs extra now.

Get a lightning fob and you can open it with two clicks. Or PaaK and it'll show up in the app. It's direct Bluetooth then, not cellular like the locks so it's instant.
I have a 20 year old VW Beetle with such severe electrical problems that makes basic functions like filling the gas tank and opening the trunk difficult. I'll never buy a car that uses the same technology as the OceanGate Titan to perform basic features. At least I was able to pry the gas lid open. But I have no confidence that modern cars will be able to function with similar issues in 20 years. I'm fact, I'm positive that Ford will start dropping functionality from their apps in 6 years when people still have 2 years left on their car loans |

That's more useful than the actual trunk on my 2004 Beetle |

Frunk? Am I the only one who had no idea this was a word?
I do not understand how you got to an EV community without knowing what a frunk is |

You all need to at least skim the article. If you don't pay for the frunk, its not leaving a void or locking your hood. Its a completely different configuration that uses the space. Edit: New opinion: New frunk is too shallow to be practical, only a small set of their customers want it, and Ford wants to reduce cost of the base model.
That bay looks like it was designed by high schoolers for a class project. Where the fuck do Ford hire engineers from, the Learning Annex parking lot? |
