What do you use your Frunk for?

[jbcarioca]

Am I the only one who keeps nothing in the frunk? I only open it to fill windshield wiper fluid.

it appears to be so, like most others I keep things that I might need but rarely do up front. in my classic with the much larger frunk it was where I put overflow luggage, or dirty clothes on the return trip.

I guess you missed my post on page one. I know of three model S owners that have their frunk out. No reason to carry extra weight if you don't use it.

With a surfboard on top (longboard) you can't open the rear hatch very far, so it's perfect to put wetsuits, towels, wet bag, and shower in the frunk. No need to get into the rear at all!

groceries when doing that thang. Rear storage used for baby stroller etc., etc.,
Store my laptop bag when i have it with me after work, instead of leaving it in rear trunk or back seat (gasp!!)

I’m sorry but how is this thread in the “Driving dynamics” channel? It’s a pet peeve....Mods?

Efficiency and usage of space, in preparation for distance travel, is a dynamic of driving.

I've got the older big frunk and use it all the time, far more than the rear trunk actually. All the groceries go in there, all the take out food, and on trips its always full. I think its a real shame that they shrank it so much in the refresh, I would much prefer the big frunk to a silly HEPA filter.

FYI: while that filter may shrunk the frunk a bit the real killer of the spacious frunk was the dual motor. the front unit ate up alot of the frunk space. and for me it was worth the trade off.

A couple costco sized packs of AA batteries, in case of emergency... hoping I can maybe power the car off 'em somehow, I dunno..

Naw, the dual motor just ate the microwave box, which still left a good amount of usable space. Personally I prefer the largest frunk and RWD.

The frunk in the facelift cars though is to small to be useful on a day to day basis.

I agree.

I keep a couple growlers in the frunk for emergency refills at local breweries.

guns? oh my!
if you are in interstate transport of your guns via states that aren't reciprocating with your state's carry permit the frunk is a perfect place to store the weapon. In stasi like police states like MD and NJ where the police will attempt illegal searches at the site of a fla plate the frunk would possibly be overlooked in their furtive attempts of violations of the 4th ammendment.
however in places that allow car carry, in your home state or a state reciprocates carry privileges why would you want to be so far away from your weapon?
oh and if you aren't aware the frunk is really not very secure.
Tesla frunk security flaw ?

I'm a police officer.. so carry permit rules do not apply. And I'm not concerned about having my 4th amendment rights violated. I don't keep anything illegal in my vehicle, so it's not an issue.
However, haven't taken the car out of California yet.

Thanks for making me aware of the frunk security flaw. I will stop storing guns up there when on the move.

no place in a car is secure. I would always keep my weapon(s) on my person when the car is unattended. this is problematic in states that refuse to honor other states weapons permits like YOURS does.
with no disrespect intended towards your profession, why should certain rules invoked on citizens not apply to you?
we are equal, however some are more equal than others

Same. Sometimes just to switch things up a bit, I'll pack groceries in the frunk first, then head to the back if I need space.

It's also funny getting looks from people when I put stuff in the frunk. Like it's magic or something.

 

[Missile Toad]

You can never be too safe. Now, I just have to make sure I keep my key-fobs straight. ;-)

Well if you're speaking in regards to his no-need for a carry permit, I'd say it's obvious why the rule doesn't apply to him as he is well trained with a firearm and diffusion of anger in situations; unlike some crazies that wanna just throw them around like they're cell phones. Gangs and unlicensed body guards who get them through the unregulated black market.

I keep my car cover in the frunk. Zero chance it'll ever fit back into that miniature bag.

like I said, those reasons should not grant him any more privileges than any other citizen. while bad people having guns is certainly an issue, that should not preclude honest law abiding citizens from their rights. arsonists use matches and cigarette lighters to ignite fires, should their possession be limited to fire fighters and retired fire fighters because someone with bad intent be able to acquire those types of flame igniters?

A few times a month I'll open my frunk just to remind myself that it's there. Only thing I keep in there is the tow hook.
