My 2023 doesn’t appear to have a plug for the frunk. Is this normal?

It has a drain, not a plug. That's always been the case. You'll have to get creative to use it as a koi pond or fill it with chowder.

Yes completely normal. There are no plugs in any Frunks of the Mach E

And it's bizarre, because there's a solid cover underneath of there the drain plug is. It doesn't drain directly to the ground below. I noticed this when I removed my frunk to install my illuminated pony last week.

Good to know! I was thinking there was one.

Two reasons there isn't a plug IMO.

1) The liquid in the frunk, if any, can safely drain through the drain, it doesn't need to be controlled.

2) Driving with a frunk full of liquid isn't a good idea. Using it as a cooler is also not a good idea, because it's simply uninsulated plastic and the ice melts quickly. The main purpose for the drain is the ability to wash it out.

Ford specifically recommended using the frunk as a cooler to store your shrimp. ? ?

I don't think I want shrimp water soaking that piece under the frunk, because your car's gonna smell like low tide for a long time to come.

Yes, but it's clear they don't have any shrimp expertise, because the shrink should be buried in the ICE.

Actually, dry ice used improperly (not wrapped in a towel) could potential crack the frunk. It could also possibly damage things on the other side.

Short term storage, only. Because, well, tasty.

I purchased a liner for the frunk. Things will not slide around. It does cover up the drain hole.

I doubt that would block the hole well enough to keep the koi happy.

Using dry ice would be ... shellfish.
