The owner wanted to see how much weight he could remove from his Model 3 before the car's electronics would intervene car auto cars
‘s frunk, and not just the lid, but the entire cargo area as well. That came out with no issues, and the latch was able to be tricked into thinking it was closed even though there wasn’t even a lid present. Similarly, the rear trunk was also removed, but it proved to be a bit more of a challenge due to the additional electronics for things like the backup camera and electrically actuated gas struts.
He was going to remove the seats, some of which were inoperable as a result of the flood, but they proved to be nearly impossible to remove without force, so he plans to address them at a later date. All in all, we’d estimate he removed about 500-700 lb of the car’s weight, even with just the doors, trunk, and frunk, and we’re interested to see where this project goes in the future.
