How much weight can the frunk support?
- Thread starter Nauti-Boy
- Start date
I am doing the permanently so I may use the scooter to get around when I am charging. The reason I am asking about the weight is I want to make sure the scooter is not compressing the floor area against any electronics underneath it that may effect the normal operation of the car
I couldn't find anything in the manual, but this guy was talking about putting >200 lbs in the frunk. People chimed in and seemed to think the frunk on a model S had a load rating of 300 lbs. Assuming that is accurate, I would assume the model x is same or greater. So, 50 lbs shouldn't be an issue.
Personally, I would call your service center to double check. 50 lbs doesn't seem like much, but who knows.

Thanks to everyone for your feedback. I will give SC a call.
Big John. Here is a pic of my scooter
Take a look at this video,
at 5:16. This is what is under the frunk plastic tub. I've done this exact procedure to put a filter in my X and I can tell you the tub itself is really solid and it sits on, and screws into, the car's frame on both sides. I personally would have no concerns putting a 50 lb scooter in the frunk especially since that weight is distributed over the entire tub.

50lbs is nothing for the front trunk. I've loaded up more than that in luggage with zero issue.
My Model X was making a terrible fan noise and it turned out that it was because we had loaded around 150lbs of camping gear in the frunk. Tesla just called to let us know this was too much. They removed the gear and the noise went away, but they called me to say that it's throwing "isolation alerts" so it won't drive. They'll need to charge me another 1-2 hrs of labor to diagnose @ $150/hr. 
Anyone familiar with these "isolation alerts"?

50lbs shouldn't be a problem. I've taken my front compartment apart to add the Hanshow power funk and the tub should easily handle 50lbs long-term. If you plan to put a scooter in there daily, I highly recommend the power funk. It takes about an hour and makes it so much more useful.
Video link below. Note, I keep 3 adult sized razor scooters and helmets in my fronk for my kids to use when we supercharge:

Isolation Fault
12V issue and "isolation"
Model Y Owner's Manual | Tesla I don't know the date of this owners manual, just found it googling, but it says 55lb is limit.
