Fathom Frunk Patent Images Revealed

This is what Grok came up with for me using one of the images.

This image from the patent is very interesting as it clearly shows a truck that is all electric with a very steeply raked windshield. Much like the Fathom has. It also interesting that the patent picked a truck and not a SUV or car.

Hope headroom is not compromised with that slanted windshield

In this rendering, it looks like its daddy was a CyberTruck.

i hope not.

At least it will probably not get many windshield cracks and dents with that slant.

Keep in mind that patents are not designed to be overly detailed. They only need to be detailed enough to get the point across. Also keep in mind that a patent does not equal a planned feature. It can, but it is never a guarantee. It simply allows Ford to charge a license fee if GM releases the same thing.

That might actually be the general shape of the design, and it looks better than the renderings led us to believe.

True, but I believe that parent showing the side could be showing the general shape and proportions of the truck, just with the finer details removed. It has the raked windshield, angled front end, and shorter hood.

So now we go frunk-gating at football games?

Here's the bigger question. In America, we call it a trunk. Since the trunk is now in the front, we call it a "frunk." In Britain, they call it a boot. Since the boot is now in the front, do they call it a "froot"?
