What is this in the frunk?

[RobB]

It's great that there is a light in the frunk. What is white square just below it? AC-power?

That's the emergency button to open the trunk if you were trapped inside.

Thanks. They really need to put power in there...

Well, it's designed to be hosed out or filled with ice.... electricity and water are not a great combo. So I wouldn't expect to see any power outlets in there.

By the same logic, the light shouldn't be in there either.

But that is sealed up, just like the lights you would see in a swimming pool. Same for the switch too, it's all sealed and waterproof. It not something where a metal connection will come in contact with water like a socket.

Rather than arguing with me pointlessly, please know I have experience with marine electronics.

Yes placement is something to be considered, but having power in the front trunk is basic - and stock parts already exist.

The potential for waste heat dissipation is really the only limitation.

It should be a possible after market mod.... although heat would be a significant risk for enclosed space....

LED lights are easy to waterproof. Outlets not so much.

Not arguing, just saying this isn't the best plan.

No, just don’t need to circle around pointlessly.

Why bother? You are graphically suggesting that Ford is designing Mach-E be Redneck-Proof. Most of the world has higher requirements.

The square is the over flow.

Agreed. Americans can be dumb and litigious. This is why we have labels on hairdryers advising us not use them in the bathtub.
