Default Frunk won't open.

Anyone have any ideas how to get this open?

Maybe something is stuck on the latch inside the frunk? I'm not sure how you'll fix that if that's the case.

Short of taking it to the dealer, try and apply some pressure around the emblem when you fire it with the key. Maybe pounce on it a couple of times too (with your hand).

This is really passing me off. Going to need to drive it to dealer at crack of dawn so they can pull bumper off and pull the emergency cord to open it.

Go up front and push down on the frunk, kinda hard... While doing this (assuming your battery is not dead) - push your key fob frunk button... If that doesn't work, do it a few times - push down release push down. That should trigger it.. Then take it to the dealer to fix the release mechanism. Oddly this used to happen on a few of my past 911s.. Hasn't happened on either of my 992s..

That doesn't work. All I hear is a half second mechanical sound that it normally makes before it opens. It's just making the sound and not extending up.

Have someone wash the front end of your 992 while you swipe across the front fender, below the emblem, and I bet it opens just to let ALL the water into the Frunk! LOL

Seriously, very sorry to hear this and hope you find a solution soon.

Is there still an emergency release cable accessible through the inner fender well?

Yes there is an emergency release behind the front tire. But under warranty (unless you have something in there you need right away) - send it to the dealer to remedy, as once you open it and close it. You will need to do this every time.
