Heh, reminds me of front-facing “suicide doors” on cars that were so named (in part) because the air at highway speeds pushes said doors further open when cracked (or even before).

I guess these Teslas have “suicide frunks”!

Was that a A fully unlatched hood or one that is caught by the manual safety latch?

I’ve seen many cars accidentally driven with the hood open but caught by the safety latch at highway speeds.

I imagine either regulations and/or good engineering makes it safe to drive with an open but latched hood considering that you can pop the hood while driving by accident.

Hood will almost certainly stay on, which is arguably less convenient.

Hmmm, but possibly better for the cars following ... a hood detached from a car at highway speed is the closest thing I can imagine to a UFO Robot Grandizer Single Harken (for those that were kids in the '70's):
