The online car configurator for the 2026 Ford Mustang Mach-E is out—and Ford is officially charging folks an extra $495 if they want a frunk.

You have convinced me.

New frunk is too shallow to be practical, only a small set of their customers want it, and Ford wants to reduce cost of the base model.

I could possibly see a ease of manufacturing be worth making a different BOM if the frunk dramatically changed the layout, but that I don't think that is what happened.
