The reason it came to mind is because probably 10 out of the last 10 times I've seen and accessory plugged into a vehicle's 12V Accessory outlet the accessory was a USB adapter.
True, but you say "USB-C PD port" and I'm thinking of something that will charge a laptop, not a phone. That's a bit overkill for a stock feature.

This is the best view I've personally seen of the frunk. Which seems huge and deep. Actually, the whole front section of the vehicle seems huge. That is a humongous long hood. I'll have to go back and look again at what sort of subframe they have to support the composite hood panel.

Nice that they're getting fleet interest at the show.
It actually seems bigger in person than it does in pictures. The hood is not small and the cabin feels really large. My tall and wide nephew fit quite comfortably when they were still letting people sit in it at events.
It's weirdly proportioned, but I'm ok with that.


Also, if they can make a fleet configuration like this (no slider, though), they'll have a smash hit.

PD is becoming ubiquitous.

More and more gizmos use PD power these days. I have a portable projector that does, for example. Fans, lights, drones, party speakers, ...

Think of practically anything that comes with an AC-to-DC adapter. In the future it'll likely be PD powered.
