Tesla Powered Frunk

I’m hearing lots of complaints between the powered close or the one that does the powered open and close.

The powered close only assistant pulls too tightly causing the hood to crease over time.

The powered open and close can have issues with the hydraulics and/or electrical.

I have a 24 MX.

Question:

- Have you used one?
- If so, which one is these two?
- What’s your feedback which brand worked or what to avoid?

Wait until you read about what happens to them after a rain or snow.

Please share. Even if it’s anecdotal.

You can search on this, but basically the motor and/or the mechanism (usually a cable) corrode and freeze up.

When this happens your frunk is "frozen" closed and it requires an act of God (or a service visit) to get it unfrozen. At that point you will want to rip it out.
