> The online car configurator for the 2026 Ford Mustang Mach-E is out—and Ford is officially charging folks an extra $495 if they want a frunk.

I have a MMachE. Honestly the Frunk is not as useful as I imagined it would be (at least Ford’s implementation of the Frunk." You have to open it just like you would the hood of your ICE car, which is fine for an ICE car hood, but not very convenient for storage access. As a result, I really don’t use it that much.

So in other words, because they fucked up the implementation they think the concept as a whole is bad. Classic incompetence.

Also, I’d be willing to bet the aftermarket could provide a kit with a plastic liner and a modification to the latch that lets it be opened from outside the car for $495 or less.

There a huge problem with having an easy open hatch with a sight blocking hatch out in front of the driver ready to block the view while they’re driving, ya know?

It makes total sense for that space to have a 2 step safety latch no mater what’s in it. I don’t want your ideas on the road! Don’t be such an elon

Ford figured out how to do it for the Lightning.
I was about the say the lightning has an awesome front trunk, with all the power plugs you could dream of
