Default Frunk Warning Light

Hello All:

a couple times I’ve had a warning come up indicating my frunk was open and I needed to pull over and close it.

of course, it was not open and the message cleared on its own after ten seconds. My questions are:

1) anyone know what root cause is with a fix?
2) am I at risk the car would reduce power or leave me stranded?

Yeah that's a weird one. I was at the track a couple of weeks ago and left the frunk open for about :30mins. I closed it, started the car and had the same warning. I opened and shut it a few times with no luck.
The final solution was to disconnect the battery for a short time and reconnect. Fault cleared and haven't seen it since but I'm careful to not leave it open for too long.

I usually take my tennis stuff out of the frunk overnight and I leave it open so I don't have to shut it and reopen it the next day, less wear and tear. In addition, I figured, if it ever has battery issues, I'd have easy access to the battery.

It won't leave you stranded, but it would limit your speed to 26 MPH. That would be an issue on an interstate.

Happened to me as well randomly while driving. Freaked me out as I was going about 60 and it cut my acceleration down. I mentioned it to my dealer and they asked for a video. Thankfully only happened once so far.

Hey, this is a known issue in the 24-25s with the soft close. A few people have had success in making sure their battery is good as it turned out to be an electrical gremlin.

I had this, and wound up getting the frunk latch assembly replaced under warranty.
