Consumer Description

The 2026 Telsa Model Y Juniper I took delivery of on 2/19/2026 has no emergency release in the front trunk (the frunk). This should be standard but for some reason after Oct 2025, Tesla decided not to include this in the new models. This is a safety hazard as if someone were to get locked in the frunk (front trunk) they would have no way of being able to get out.
