How often do you use frunk?

[Maximilien]

I use it almost everyday. Perfect size for my laptop bag or grocery.

 

[Thomas Edison]

Opened it once to put the factory Mobile connector in there.

 

[DDotJ]

I like to put take-out food in there, it keeps the food smell out of the cabin.

Of course then again, there have been a few instances where I placed leftovers in there after dinner and forgot to unload it for a week

 

[Brian's ReX]

I've only opened it to show people not familiar with Tesla that there is indeed NO engine in there!

Don't use it otherwise, as I like the auto-open/auto-close feature on all other doors/trunk. Too lazy to use two hands to close the frunk.

Maybe if I took a really long trip and was pressed for space...

I use to use it quite often, but have been reading too many horror stories where the Model 3 frunk ends up in a condition where the latch is stuck and can only be fixed by bringing it to a Service Center (i.e. Even Tesla Mobile Repair cannot resolve). — So for now, only non-important things goes into the frunk. That, plus the 9V release trick for a very determined thief.

Mine has been replaced three times

I use mine multiple times per day for my bag.
I even added an auto-open feature:

 

[run-the-joules]

Basically never. Screwing around with my phone to open it is tedious and closing it is annoying as well.

Once I get a fob I might use it more conceptually, but I just keep things like snow chains, inflator & tire jizz, and mobile charger in there for now.

Same here (unfortunately, applies to both paragraphs). Leftover burrito does not store well at 90* for a week.

 

[tjkessler]

Keep charger, tire repair, spare coat, gloves, cleaning supplies, and first aid kit there. I mostly open it up
when the kids spill something.

 

[whatthe2]

I put my groceries in the frunk at King Soopers. A guy was parked next to me and said, “what are you doing putting groceries in the hood of your car?” Turned into a 10 min Tesla conversation.

 

[Lunares]

Never. I don't like the marks closing it makes on the hood (just from oil on hands)

I’ve done this! With seafood! Kinda wrecked the smell of the Frunk for a year.

 

[Pkmmte]

I use the front trunk almost exclusively. It's more conveniently placed for my usage, so I tend to place my work bag in there every morning/night.

There have been 2 Tesla break ins in the little shopping area I usually stop by on my way home, so it helps to not have my work bag in the trunk in case I ever get broken into.

 

[privater]

I used to use Trunk all the time, until one day my car got breakin and they steal my stuff in trunk. Bandits know how to get your stuff in trunk within 20 seconds. But they don’t have time to read the manul and jump start your frunk.

And btw, use siri to open frunk with remote s app is a breeze.

 

[Tezlah]

Almost never. I don’t trust my frunk, as my frunk latch has failed twice. The first time, the service center replaced the front trunk actuator. I’ve opened the frunk maybe 1 or 2 times since it was fixed, and now it’s broken again. Time to schedule a service appointment.

 

[PoitNarf]

I’d use it more if I could close it without getting hand/finger prints on the hood...

 

[Chips]

They opened it at delivery and told me how fragile the hood alignment is and how you have to be super careful when closing so I haven't opened it since. I scared of bending the hood. Wish it had an auto-close and latch function.

 

[69m3m3m3]

is there a easier way to open the frunk? besides on the screen or on the phone? kinda a pain to do it while holding a bunch of stuff, the trunk is easier as it has a handle right there, or am i missing something?

 

[Brenzo]

I use it to store the car seat base for my newborn. I have her in my car maybe once every week or so and with the LATCH system it's easy enough to take it out and reinstall it. It fits perfectly in the frunk and doesn't slide around like it would in the trunk. This frees up an extra seat in the back for passengers and makes it easier for her older sister to climb out when we park in my garage where there is no access on the passenger side.
