The front trunk, also known as the frunk, is a standard feature on all available Tesla vehicles. This is, in large part due to the lack of an engine in these cars, as it provides extra space for storage under the hood. The Tesla Cybertruck is no exception, providing a frunk as well. Continue reading for the steps on how to open and close the powered frunk for the Tesla Cybertruck.

Opening the Frunk

The Cybertruck is the only Tesla that features a powered frunk, meaning that it opens and closes automatically with the push of a button. Opening the hood to access the frunk is quite simple. You must ensure the car is in Park, and then do one of the following:

When in the vehicle, tap the Open icon on the touchscreen that points to the frunk.
Use the Tesla Mobile app and tap Frunk, it’ll then ask you to confirm if you’d like to open it.
From outside of the Cybertruck, press the center button under the hood closure. Tesla has created a useful visual for your reference.

NOTE: Tesla warns to check the environment before opening the hood of the car. This is particularly important if the ceiling is low, like in some parking garages. Failure to do so may result in the Cybertruck being damaged.

Adjusting the Opening Height

You can also adjust the opening height of the frunk. As mentioned, there may be situations where the car is in a low-ceiling area such as a garage door or parking garage. To make the adjustment, you must:

Open the frunk, and then manually lower or raise it to the new desired height.
Next, press and hold the powered frunk button on the front of the vehicle for three seconds. You’ll hear a chime when the new height is confirmed.
Once you’ve completed the first two steps, simply open and close it one more time to confirm that the new height is registered.

Closing the Frunk

Now that you know how to open the frunk, you’ll need to know how to close it. This can be accomplished in several ways:

Pressing the center button under the hood closure.
Use the Tesla Mobile app and tap the Frunk button, which will then close it if it’s open.
When in the vehicle, tap the Close icon on the touchscreen that points to the frunk.

NOTE: Your powered frunk will lock if you leave it open and the Cybertruck locks. This can happen when you lock it via the touchscreen, key, mobile app, or with the Walk-Away Door lock feature.

The Bottom Line

That concludes the guide on how to open and close the powered frunk for the Tesla Cybertruck. Whether you’re opening or closing the hood, it can be accomplished in a few different ways. These include tapping the Frunk icon on the touchscreen when in your car, or tapping Frunk in the Tesla mobile app. Lastly, there’s a powered frunk button on the front of the vehicle that you can press and hold for three seconds which will open or close it.
