does seem to be a bit smaller than other photos/videos i recall seeing. once cool thing is it appears to have two storage areas in the bed.

but what stood out to me are those corners on the frunk? and i thought the gear tunnel door has some sharp point.... some kid is definetely going to the hospital from the CT frunk.

Never mind kids. The adults will be posting gory gashes/stitches on arms, torsos and heads... just like some R1T owners did with the Gear Tunnel hatch. Elon should do a partnership with Ginsu.

As an R1T owner, I just sip some tea.
As a Tesla investor, I’m terrified at how dumb this thing is.
You just don’t understand - it’s ”hardcore”

“Thank you, sir! May I have another?” - CT owners

"Well now that I have this scar from this scratch, if I do an intentional scratch the opposite direction it's basically the Tesla logo. This is definitely a feature not a bug... Thanks Elon!"

Good question.. I'm guessing what was the large frunk area is now filled with real world necessities like HVAC heat pump, octovalve, condenser, power steering pump, brake booster, liquid cooling pumps and piping, etc.. you know all the pesky stuff that production vehicles need.

Very odd and disappointing that they couldn't fit more under that cavernous dash vs gobbling up precious frunk space.

the oscillation overthruster requires extra coolant because it isn’t in the cab.

I know that's all needed, but all their other cars, and our trucks, managed to do it while keeping a spacious frunk.
