A brief video clip featuring the Tesla Cybertruck’s powered front trunk lid has surfaced on the X platform, shedding light on a previously elusive aspect of the vehicle. The clip, posted by the user @gx47006YT, provides a glimpse of how the front trunk lid can be closed without any physical contact.
While rumors and photos of a powered mechanism for the Cybertruck’s frunk lid have circulated online in the past, this video marks the first visual confirmation of the system in action. It’s important to note that the GIF shared on X captures only a few seconds of the trunk lid’s motion, leaving many details yet to be revealed. The original poster explained that they were unable to capture a full video of the trunk closing due to the quick actions of Tesla employees handling the Cybertruck.

Nevertheless, the video does offer a sneak peek at the updated frunk, which now features a pair of courtesy lights to facilitate visibility of its contents. Notably, the lid itself lacks sound-deadening material, a potential concern given the inherently quiet nature of electric vehicles, including the Cybertruck.
The Cybertruck logo, which made its debut during the vehicle’s 2019 reveal, remains a prominent feature. However, any details regarding a lid that might house power outlets are still unknown. It’s possible that such outlets may be located in the truck’s bed, though no concrete information is available at this time.
Tesla has managed to keep many official details under wraps, leaving enthusiasts and potential buyers eagerly awaiting specifics about the Cybertruck’s range and power capabilities. Reports suggest that the pickup will initially be offered in dual- and tri-motor configurations, with a single-motor version potentially arriving later.
With the first deliveries slated for November 30, Tesla’s inaugural pickup promises additional features like adaptive air suspension and rear-wheel steering, as observed in numerous sightings over the past six months. As the delivery date approaches, the automotive world eagerly awaits a comprehensive look at what the Cybertruck has in store.
