    Wow, I didn’t know that. The Rivian has a button that just opens the frunk with hydrolics. Seems like Ford just wanted it to be as close to an ICE vehicle as possible, maybe for manufacturing reasons?

      It was almost certainly for manufacturing/cost reasons.

      Not having it be hydraulic probably saves $2k per unit.
