2026 Mach-E underhood photo with no Frunk.

[AtomicInternet]

Time to 3D print frunk covers and become a millionaire!

Seriously though, I like this. I rarely use my frunk and now I have access to everything (like traditional hoods give you)

Here's where I saw it:

If $500 makes the frunk easy to open (like tailgate) and gives easy access to 12V battery, I might go for it.

It doesn't have anything to do with how it opens.

I use the frunk on my Lightning regularly. At least once per week.
About the only time we use it on the Mach-E is when bringing home take-out food or leftovers from a restaurant to avoid stinking up the interior. Maybe 4 or 5 time per year.

And they probably have that data and know we do not ever open the frunk. Thus the easy money grab.

I wonder if they also have the data on how many times I have to tap into “Settings” just to open my rear hatch? It’s a lot.

I think this photo I posted is from an AWD select. I am assuming the area towards the bottom of the photo is the outer casing of the front motor.

I tried to find a photo of a RWD with no Frunk to see if that space is empty but could not find one with 15 min of looking.

Thought you’d like to see how it compares to a 21 RWD

If I were buying it today, I would not choose it

If i were buying today, I wouldn’t buy the car. The post 24 “frunks” are nothing more than a glovebox cosplaying as a frunk.

That casing is not the motor. It is the heat pump radiator casing. The motor sits much further back.

Below is a photo of my '24 GT (AWD).

Mark, what’s with all the heat wraps? Going to Alaska soon?

No Ali, at least not yet! About a year ago, Lee was helping me with my thermal test experimenting. Insulated all hoses and the HV battery to see how much more efficient I could get the heating/cooling systems. Didn't make much of a difference in my climate (at down to 32˚) but Lee said in climates where the temps were below 0˚ it could help out.

Well, I’ve tried many times to use the kick to open frunk/froot finding it don’t work………because there is no such function.

It’s an age thing

To be fair, it doesn't work much better if you're "lucky" enough to have it on the rear lift gate either.

Is there a market for Engines Dress up on EV’s?

I'd probably give it second thoughts as well, unless I could get $15K off MSRP again! Not sure what we'll do in 2 years, when our lease is up. Will be fun to see what's available at that time.
