Regarding the ongoing frunk angst, my X5 didn't have one either. Because all the stuff that made the car go was located in that area. The equipment under the hood of the iX seems to fill that same role. And the space saved (by not occupying it with a non-climatized, often not-very-well-sealed, have-to-get-out-of-the-car-to-access) was transferred to the interior of the car, where people are located. And not just the cross-space in the front floor, but increased legroom in the front and back, and a more open cabin, perceived and actual. So I like the space distribution in the iX where it is, and manufacturers are apparently following suit in their EV models, because several have cropped up minus the frunk, which seems to be a singular Tesla legacy. Engineers take note - for my money, put storage and human space in the car, where it is readily accessible, heated and cooled, and actually usable.
