I use it when I’m carrying something that is wet or might get wet since the front is plastic. Ice and the like.
Don't ever get distracted and leave these in there...

Never. Only opened a few times to show people it has a frunk.
I've heard this claim thrown around a lot about bending/denting the frunk, but I have yet to see any evidence at all. It seems like most of the comments are from someone who knows a guy who knows a guy. The few that do directly claim denting have not posted pics or followed up with thier frunk handling. There are lots of mechanically inept people in the world too who would very likely close the frunk in a manner in which you slam a traditional auto's hood, all the way until the day they dent it. I have to admit, even I slightly slammed my frunk on day one from like an inch or two up with one hand due to said tradition and not yet having looked into it. I have also read of others having used the trunk daily for years without issue. The frunk is actually fairly thick aluminum and wouldn't seem to dent easily. Also, it closes fairly easily without a lot of force for me... and I have only owned mine for a week, so the weather seals are not even broken in yet. I would be very surprised if my gentle closing actually dented it.I'm not sure changing the spring fixes the fact the frunk lid is like 0.00001 mm of incredibly flimsy/thin aluminum and bends easily?
I might be misunderstanding this- hadn't really given it much thought, just saw it was flimsy thin metal, saw others who bent it closing it, and haven't needed the space.
The owner's manual says to close the frunk in a specific way:The frunk is actually fairly thick aluminum and wouldn't seem to dent easily.
Frunk denting is a real thing and was a major issue with the Model S. That's when Tesla gave guidelines to reduce the chances of doing it (guidelines that continue to exist in the Model 3 manual, as another pointed out).I've heard this claim thrown around a lot about bending/denting the frunk, but I have yet to see any evidence at all.

Okay, again, they don't necessarily say that because its hood is made of super thin aluminum. Again, it may be due to people having dented it after having treated it like a traditional auto's slam-down design. A more fragile hood (compared to traditional autos) doesn't necessarily equal cheap/flimsy aluminum.The owner's manual says to close the frunk in a specific way:
