Sorry. Back in the '80s we (me and siblings) used to call the front trunk in VW Bugs the funk.

The Frunk

Discussed in other threads, but it looks like it will only take up that tunnel section in the back of the frunk.

Noticed in the Model X video, even Elon calls it the "frunk"....did WhiteKnight invent the word?
No I heard Elon call it a "frunk" so he deserves all the credit / blame.
Those who were there at The X premier saw the frunk of the X was jammed when the designer went to open it. It's cut out of the video (though Elon does reference it). It was excruciating to watch.
I talked to the guy (tall black vest) later and he said it was a bent bracket. Nothing to do with jamming the frunk full of luggage. I was happy to hear that there was not another employee jammed in there again. though the guy said he could have gotten out because the release was installed.
The point of the demo was to show the frunk holds as much as the Audi's rear just by itself.
And the guy gets it open when the crowd goes swarms the car.
I have had my trunk not work when a bag has caught on the release. Someday I may just cut it off.

Unflattering slang usage along with the intended use (which pre-dates Tesla):
Urban Dictionary: frunk

While at the Model X event last night, I was inspired with an alternative use of the Frunk. If Tesla or some third party manufacturer could make a waterproof liner for the Frunk, it would make the Tesla the ultimate tailgating car. Can you imagine pulling up to the football game and opening your Frunk, which is full of beer and ICE (yes pun intended). All the guys driving big gas guzzling pickups would be so jealous. Heck, might as well change the name to Frunkgating. Hey Tesla marketing department, looking for an idea for a super bowl 2013 commercial? You can have my idea, just give me one of the soon to be designed insulated Frunk liners for free.

'Frunk' could also be a good place for big subwoofer / amp installs for those that need "over the top" bass.

How about a drop in liner for the frunk that you attach to a power outlet in the frunk with a self-contained coolant (in the liner) system for beer while frunking? You could pour ice into it and open your frunk at the game, put your beer into it and pull out the chairs. It would keep the ice cool for awhile.
