Frunk hooks for Model 3 are apparently no longer a thing...

See further up this thread.

Ah cheers thanks, not sure how I missed that lol

I was in the a Service Centre in Alexandria last week and ordered a set. They are waiting for the next batch in bulk to arrive.

So, did they ever turn up? I emailed service after your post, inquiring about the discrepancy between their account (no longer available) and your account (ordered last week). The response? Silence...

I haven’t heard from Tesla since being at the device centre. I have subsequently discovered that I have frunk hooks installed from the factory. I thought I just had blanking caps, but I fiddled with them and they are hooks.

Last Friday I picked up my Model 3 and asked about these. He said they no longer sell them and too bad in a nice way. I pointed how unfinished it looked and he sorta shrugged and moved on.

To be fair, this person really didn't seem to like me, I pointed out some scratches on the windows and a dent in the front quarter panel and he sorta laughed and said how every Tesla is always checked over from their buyers but these issues happen to every manufacturer and don't get pulled... I said I don't really care its a brand new car. Sorry for tangent

Whats his point? The buyers should be checking it with all manufacturers, not cutting Tesla slack on it. Did you sign the paperwork and take the car or reject it?

He did something on his iPad, took some photos and said you can still take and then come back to fix this is proof of issues at delivery. I have read this is how they do it now from other posts and it seems to be okay.

...They look really good but without the same plastic type they will look non-OEM.

Not that many people looking in there eh?
I avoid using the frunk - it's always been empty - mostly because I really dislike closing the bonnet.

I just purchased some frunk hooks which have been shipped today, but was a little shocked at the price markup in Australia. Luckily I was ordering something else so shipping at least didn't come into play. In short, each hook cost AUD$15.45!
Part numbers for reference are:
ASY-M3-RBN FRUNK-LH(1116002-00-C) and ASY-M3-RBN FRUNK-RH(1116003-00-C)
Sure to be useful for transporting take-away meals for the next period...

Who did you contact to purchase them?

Who did you contact to purchase them?

Email to [email protected] did the trick...

Thanks, had no idea about that email. Will try now!

Well I’m cross, because I emailed Service 6 weeks ago and quoted the part numbers, and silence was the response.

Maybe I should try again...

Well I think I know why they try not use frunk hooks anymore and maybe why they are so expensive - Mine arrived today, first one went on fine, but the other had a small plastic piece break off and no longer holds in place...Hopefully they replace for free...So word of warning - these are delicate to fit.

A thread ages ago gave links to 3D printing these. I’ve made them and they fit perfectly.
The files are on Thingyverse.com for free.
Cost about 50 cents in materials to print.

Well blow me down, but I got a call from Tesla today to say my frunk hooks have arrived and they’ve scheduled me in for a “service” to install them. Tesla works in mysterious ways...

Ah that’s good, did you end up calling them or just the original email 6 weeks ago

 

[Vostok]

I never called them. I ordered them on 6 Jan when my boot rivets were installed, then followed up with the email as per my post 6+ weeks ago which was not responded to. Didn’t hear anything from them until today. I guess they don’t have any cars to deliver after tomorrow

Just change the spring over to the C83 spring from bunnings, takes literally 60 seconds and a pair of pliers to do then you can close it with one hand, feels much better.

I contacted service centre early this week regarding the grocery hooks and they replied saying there's no stock now, but they're expecting in next few months and placed it on back order for me.
