The all-electric utility vehicle segment is expanding, with models like the GMC Hummer EV and Chevy Silverado EV set to be joined by the new Tesla Cybertruck sometime next year. With production of the Tesla Cybertruck reportedly ramping up now, images of the all-electric utility vehicle are hitting the web, providing a few details in the process. Among these is the shape of the Cybertruck’s front trunk space, better known as the frunk. The question is this – is the Tesla Cybertruck’s frunk big enough?
One enthusiast recently posted an image of the Tesla Cybertruck’s frunk to a Cybertruck owner’s forum, providing the clearest image yet of the storage space. As we can see, the frunk is accessible by lifting the the front fascia of the vehicle, which is hinged around the upper corners, revealing a space that seems to stretch from to side in the vehicle.
Interestingly, these images show the Tesla Cybertruck frunk to be quite wide and tall, but not very deep. The shape of the space is like an oval, and although it’s difficult to say exactly how much stuff can be fit inside of it, it certainly appears to be big enough to fit at least several bags of groceries. Also notable is the Cybertruck logo, which appears to be embedded in the back of the frunk.
An image of the frunk was also posted to X:

The interesting thing about frunks on electric vehicles is that they can often be a variety of different shapes and sizes, owning to the fact that the space is usually determined by the front-end design of the vehicle in question. We’ll have to wait for the official numbers from Tesla, but for reference, the GMC Hummer EV has a frunk that’s 11.3 cubic feet, while the Chevy Silverado EV has a frunk that’s 10.7 cubic feet. Meanwhile, neither the Cadillac Lyriq nor the Chevy Blazer EV offer a frunk.

This thing has bigger issues than the size of its frunk
Amen, the only people that will buy this are Tesla loyalists. The same as Toyota and the Tundra, Honda and the Ridgeline. I remember when Toyota was building there plant in Texas Toyota, said they had the capacity to build two hundred thousand the first year (that never happened). I thought back then they will only sell to those who are Toyota loyalists. Never broke over 200k Tundra’s had to bring the Tacoma over to fill the plants capacity. Honda at least builds the Ridgeline next to it’s minivan.
Total Piece of Crap. Poor quality like all Tesla products. Looks are butt ugly. About as functional as a DMC-12.
Looking at the picture, I’m not sure whether it’s a piece of crap or not. In general, I’m not too impressed with Tesla’s overall design philosophy, for the interior in particular. I won’t be buying one of these and I’m not sure that I know anyone that will.
C’mon this is a joke. They won’t be introducing this “thing”??? At the last minute, they will be introducing a real truck and not a movie prop. Right?
Bigger than thr Frunk on the Lyriq
That raised hood looks like a guillotine all set to drop down. Wham!!
Is this straight off of the set of Star Wars?
Should be named the Tesla Aztec, butt ugly.
It will fit two golf bags per reports.
It is very wide but obviously not deep at all.
The Ford has the best Frunk by miles.
The other info that isn’t yet available is whether it will have plugs in the Frunk like the rest of the EV Pickup Trucks do.
Our 2022 C8 Corvette has a frunk (since it has a mid-engine). The frunk of the C8 is a little less than the Cybertruck. But the C8 also has significant space for luggage behind the engine. The C8 is just enough for two people taking long distance trips. But the Cybertuck isn’t going to be enough.
Can’t wait for owners to complain about their groceries spilling out of the front of it.
Not enough space. The floor should be deeper and the background (for lack of a better word) should be recessed. Given that it’s an electric vehicle, the console area should be able to handle it.
Butt ugly
Looks like something that only a fool would waste money on. Personally I find Tesla cars to be ugly but practical to drop you kids off in the school drop off zone. however this thing ramps it up to a new level of ugly. It’s doubtful to see many on construction sites, only in the driveways of fools looking for novelty’s.
Although I wouldn’t underestimate Elon’s ability to pull many fools in to blow there money on this kindergartners ridiculous design.
All this while Biden is trying to find the exit from the stage after he tells everyone how he was the smartest guy in college.
This is what happens when an overly creative industrial designer wants to make a statement and no one steps forward to inject some sense reality into the process.
