Hard to believe that the car is this fragile.

There's no loud ICE engine that requires noise dampening, so Tesla tries to make it as lightweight as possible.Doesn't simply dropping the lid close it?
There have been aftermarket for powered hoods

and make sure the kids REALLY get it. I mean, how many times do you have to say “Don’t slam the door” in the car before they stop?Closing the frunk, per the instructions, is really not difficult to do, in fact it’s very easy. After doing it once on my S, it became second nature. I don’t expect the 3 will be any different. Some of you are overthinking this.
The only caveat is if you’re giving the car to someone else (e.g. non-Tesla mechanic), you simply need to show them the closing technique if they have some need to open the frunk.
Yeah, I wonder what happens if the kids sit on the frumk? Yikes!!and make sure the kids REALLY get it. I mean, how many times do you have to say “Don’t slam the door” in the car before they stop?
I'm just glad my kids are older... thinking a young kid and this car won't mix well!Yeah, I wonder what happens if the kids sit on the frumk? Yikes!!

How cool.On long trips, the frunk is filled to the brim with stuff.

How cool.
We drove from L.A. to Texas and back and a few weeks later I remembered we had a front trunk.
Still empty.
I find it really odd how people like you find it to be so "fragile"...
I wouldn't say it's fragile or sturdy. It's just a lightweight aluminum hood. If in fact regulations wouldn't allow an electric latch of any sort then the design is fine. I don't think it needs to be any thicker and heavier.The Owners Manual gives detailed instructions (using 2 hands & pressure application points) on how to avoid damaging the hood. If the hood was sturdy, there would be no need for these precautions.
Would you rather have another Plymouth? I think I would still take a $40,000 tinfoil car over your old Plymouth. Was your post supposed to be funny, or are you just stoned?Maybe Tesla "engineers" shouldn't have been such cheap asses with their use of paper thin aluminum, and make a hood that can be closed easily and firmly, like the hood on my old 1971 Plymouth Valiant. Then this bending and denting wouldn't be an issue. For the near $40,000 this car will cost me, it shouldn't be made out of tinfoil.
