Note
In the unlikely event that Cybertruck has no low voltage power, you will be unable to open the powered frunk using the touchscreen or the button under the hood closure. Instead, see Opening the Powered Frunk with No Power.

When a door or the powered frunk is open, the touchscreen displays the Door Open indicator light. The vehicle avatar also shows the door, powered frunk, or tailgate status.

Hands-Free Frunk (If Equipped)

Informational PurposesAn informational icon, calling your attention
Note
Depending on market region, configuration, and vehicle manufacture date, your vehicle may not be equipped with hands-free frunk.
Informational PurposesAn informational icon, calling your attention
Note
Requires an iOS or Android device with Ultra-Wideband (UWB) support and Tesla mobile app 4.31.0 or higher (for iOS), or Tesla mobile app 4.41.0 or higher (for Android). Consult the specifications section of your iOS or Android device manufacturer's website to check if the phone has background UWB support.

Ensure your phone settings allow "Nearby Interactions" for the Tesla mobile app. If your phone key is already paired, open the Tesla mobile app and go to Phone Key > Upgrade.

You can open the powered frunk without pressing a button.
  1. To enable, touch Controls > Locks > Hands-Free Frunk.
  2. With your phone key in your front pocket, approach the powered frunk and stand still. When your phone key has been detected, Cybertruck chimes and the powered frunk opens. To cancel the request, step away from the vehicle.

Do not leave your phone inside the powered frunk as it may open by itself. If you must leave your phone in the vehicle, disable Bluetooth and/or turn the phone off, and ensure you have alternate methods to lock/unlock your vehicle (see Keys).

Warning
Before allowing an automated feature to open the powered frunk (rather than doing so manually), it is important to check that the area around the hood is free of obstacles (such as people and objects). Proactively monitor the hood's movement to ensure that it does not contact a person or object. Failure to do so can result in damage or serious injury.

Adjust the Opening Height of the Powered Frunk

Customize the opening height of your powered frunk and save it as the default or for a specific location, such as your garage.

  1. To set a height, pause the frunk while it's moving, using the touchscreen. Alternatively, manually adjust to the preferred height by manually lowering or raising the powered frunk.
  2. To save the preferred height, follow the prompts on the touchscreen or press and hold the button on the underside of the powered frunk until you hear a confirmation chime.
  3. To reset your existing trunk opening to the factory default settings, or to clear any saved locations, go to Controls > Service > Remove Saved Locations.

Closing

Do not try to manually close the powered frunk. Doing so may cause damage.
