Interesting:

Even after the summer 2017 change of tack Piaskowski says the interior had smaller screens: “We had a 10- and then 12.3-inch landscape-oriented screen but Team Edison did a lot research in China and came back with this revelation that we had to have a much larger version. That’s when we went to a 15.6-inch portrait screen.” Surely a glance at Tesla’s massive screens would have told them as much? “Even though our competitors do something, it doesn’t mean we should do it too,” Piaskowski responds firmly, “it’s about learning what’s right for our customers.”
Also, I noticed the front trunk cup holders in recent photos from French events, but no one's mentioned them before. They're mentioned in this article, finally... What do people plan to use them for? (Besides the obvious dipping sauces for shellfish and poultry.)

Isn't that the washer refill tube with a cap on it?
Up top, outside of the frunk "bowl," yes -- washer fluid.

But check out the inside-front shelf of the storage bowl. Here's a photo where you can just barely see two cup holders:

So is that divider removable? The overall size looks decent, if you can have the divider in or out?

The middle divider looks like it slides up and out.

I'm assuming that in the final version, all three pieces will easily come out. Otherwise it'll be hard to claim that carry on luggage fits in there.

Based on the latest official frunk press from Ford, the dividers will have negligible impact on shellfish capacity. So... We just don't know about any other use case yet. ;)

Cup holders in trunk more clear in this shot by @Mach E Rotterdam

It appears the frunk organizer is held in with screws. I recommend trying 3M Dual Lock instead:

Thanks -- that's the photo I wanted to repost here but I couldn't remember where I'd seen it.

I'm hoping this one is a rough prototype and that the final design won't involve screws. The 3D rendered shot of the organizer included a Mustang logo masked out of that center divider piece. If design appropriately, the whole thing could just be held in by gravity and by the surrounding walls. There'd be no need for physical attachment points.

False! We also know about the "wings" use case and the "cooler with a few cans and approximately one ton of ice" use cases.

"how many cupholders does the Mach-E have?"
"well, that depends..."
"how can it depend? you look at the car and count them!"
"does the frunk count?"
"what are you talking about you crazy person? how come I can never get a straight answer out of you? range is 'it depends' acceleration is 'it depends' in-cabin sound is 'it depends' and now you can't even count cupholders? BEVs are dumb, I'm going to get back in my Suburban!"
