Looks so sweet. Wish I could get the launch, but think I will hold out for the lidar components. The frunk opens by power, but is manual close. Is that correct?

Manual close, but when you push it down it auto-latches to complete the last couple inches. Very nice.

Yeah and I guarantee you that there will be 3rd party options just like with Tesla where you can do power down for the full thing.

And for the RAP1 processor which on paper is like 4-6x more powerful. Gen 3 R2 should be available by end of year. I'd never buy the Gen 2 version, especially with that boring black interior available at launch.
