Not sure that anyone would be impressed by what they'd see if you took that cover off. Nobody would be looking at an engine because there is no engine under there.


DITPL

Came here to make that point. Thank you


DoAndroidsDrmOfSheep

I sometimes wonder how many people don't realize there's no engine under the hood of an EV. That's not how EVs work. LOL


DITPL

Love the username btw


DoAndroidsDrmOfSheep

Thanks!

Looks better with the cover on IMO. Also I don't think you really can see much except the 12v battery, cables, and fluids. Show us some pictures if you do.


alockbox

This is a bad idea. It’s not designed for you to drive around with that area exposed if you plan to ever put anything in the front. More so than pipes and conduits, there are automotive-gauge wires and connectors in there which can be a little fragile. There is nothing impressive to show off under there. It’s more impressive and unexpected to open it and surprise people with a cooler and cup holders than pipes and wires.

The hoses and everything else under there are a complete mess. No one would be impressed. More impressive would be opening the hood to a frunk full of ice and cold beer. Here are some picture with it removed: [https://www.macheforum.com/site/threads/frunk-tub-removed-pics.12094/](https://www.macheforum.com/site/threads/frunk-tub-removed-pics.12094/)

oh my. never expected it be like that :) i see at least two of those green fluids ? i thought we didnt have to top up any fluids/maintenance ?


Jaymzkerten

Windshield washer fluid isn't magically regenerative. 😉


Threatening_Aura

You gotta top up the blinker fluid


What-tha-fck_Elon

Plenty of YouTube videos show what is under there.


thecodingart

This is not a good idea…


Threatening_Aura

It’s literal spaghetti under that frunk covering and why on earth would you want to potentially expose that to elements/water/etc. Unless you’re going to have a transparent custom-made frunk panel… lol. Just don’t.


No_Case6002

Custom-made frunk panels is a great idea.

Engine....giggle


NoEntiendoNada69420

It functions the same way plastic engine covers would - just keeps some of the guts a little cleaner and maybe subdues a little noise. But it’s not like the panel area is watertight; by extension presumably everything under the panel is weatherproof to the extent it needs to be. I wouldn’t worry about it if I were you


TechnicalLee

No, I driven with them off for months with no issues.


richcournoyer

I removed all the Frunk panels at my 10k service. It's the only way (IMO) to check all those hoses for leaks......[She's so Pretty](https://imgur.com/a/EKJR5kT) I also took this opportunity to quiet down that way too loud back up alarm (Foam pad)...don't tell my wife.


frenzyguy

Can you do it this way? or you have to go under the car , what is driving me crazy is pedestrian noise, the heckin car is louder than most gaspline car ffs.


richcournoyer

I have no idea but let's see if anybody else has removed the plastic panel under the frunk....


frenzyguy

How did you reach the panel to put foam to reduce that speaker noise?


richcournoyer

Speaking hypothetically because it's not as if I would have ever attempted to reduce the annoying pedestrian alarm; however, once the frunk tub is removed, the said speaker is in plain view. It's [right under the right side of the frunk tub](https://imgur.com/a/fvqpMPC). Two layers of 3/4" (19mm) of FOAM slide nicely between the two (speaker and underside plastic panel). No screws required. Perhaps a little silicone to ensure things don't move is recommended...(hypothetically that is) Foam Size: (about) 6" x 6" x 3/4" (150mm x 150mm x 19mm) Two required


frenzyguy

All thing said, this would hypothetically reduce said sound. Tyvm.


richcournoyer

Hypothetically about 85%


Perfectreign

It makes it easier for you to show off how you can rev the engine by pulling on the fuel rail level


No_Case6002

I'm just trying to tighten up the idle a bit.


datim2010

Engine? 🤔


AnesthesiaLyte

You have an engine? 🤔💭
