Sounds good I am ready to take delivery! 🤩

Is the wheel turn near the end also the sound of the slow speed and reverse sound?

Yup. That did it. It don't even matter what the price is now.

Not you. I thought the same thing.

The white square in the frunk is definitely a emergency open button. As was rumored in another post.

What kind of emergency is it for? 😳

Safety requirement. If someone gets trapped in there, they have a way out. Yes, that someone would have to be small. The regulations call out for a 3 year old dummy child. I think a 3 year old could fit in here. As a matter of fact, I think the frunk would be an enticing place for children to play (try to remember back to your 3 year old brain, or watch your kids play hide and seek).

Is large enough so that the three-year-old child dummy described in Subpart C of Part 572 can be placed inside the trunk compartment, and the trunk lid can be closed and latched with all removable equipment furnished by the passenger car manufacturer stowed in accordance with label(s) on the passenger car or information in the passenger car owner's manual, or, if no information is provided, as located when the passenger car is delivered.

BTW, if you read that whole regulation, there's a lot to it, including a special section for frunks. The release must be "complete" if the vehicle is stationary or moving under 5 km/h. Over 5km/h, it has to "pop" a bit, but not completely open. This is how regulations have added cost and complexity through the years, and why it is difficult to just run an inflation adjusted comparison of a 1980 single cab truck. And for this particular requirement, it is also why you don't see cars suddenly have their hood open on the highway and fold back to the windshield, as was alarmingly common when I was child.

If your drive your Slate with your 3 year old accidentally in there, they hopefully will see the little shiny button and press it. Then they'll get some air, and hopefully you will notice the frunk is ajar. Then you will question your life choices and your child's life choices.

This is a remake of the first video.
Not your basic truck

Gotta rethink that horn. My golf cart horn is stouter than that. That sounds like a Road Runner mating call.

Apparently the inspiration for the horn is the 1967 VW Beetle!

There’s a good point of reference for the marketing. Instead of “it can fit this many grocery bags/golf bags/suitcases!” they should just say “it can fit a whole person, the safety authorities said so”.

That horn says "hello hello did you not see me here mate?" I need an upgrade to "watch out dammit!" 😬

Is there a video showing where the horn is located? I bought a pair of Hella horns for the CX-3 back in 2018 and didn't manage to install due to difficulty of access. Hold on, is it a physical horn or a sound clip in an EV?
