Frunk

[Neil4Real]

Why would it get jostled more? What would you be doing with the car that the front end would bounce around more than the back?

Of course putting a breakable item in a frunk, or trunk, without proper packing or padding would result in the same broken item.

The advantage of the frunk is that it cannot be opened without opening the door and pulling the handle, twice.

I have no idea, which is why I asked. Using the frunk is still weird for me and I still just feel uncertain putting anything in there. But my friends with Teslas seem to use it more than the trunk! They put their laptop bags, gear, everything in there and rarely ever use the trunk. I guess my mind still gets hung up on the fact that I'm used to an engine being there lol and I literally need to just think of it as a front trunk, as it is.

Is the frunk water tight? So if it rains, is there a chance some might drip into it or if that happened there would be a seal defect?

It would be a seal defect. Open it and look.

I prefer the frunk because of all the crime in Portland. No one can see inside the frunk and I doubt most people even realize it’s there. That’ll change, eventually, but now it works well.

I can't see the frunk being any worse than a car's trunk regarding damage to the contents. If your laptop is the only thing in the trunk or frunk and you cannot keep yourself from hammering the throttle, brakes, every corner you come across, and jumping the car over things, the laptop is going to break. If there are other items in the trunk or frunk that secure the laptop bag, you are less likely to damage it. ??

Even when people begin to realize the car has a frunk, I don't see much additional crime being directed to it. Trunks/boots have been on ICE cars forever and you don't often see them getting broken into just because nobody knows if there is anything within. ??‍?

The frunk is pretty well insulated. In CDN summer weather, ice cubes in the frunk last through the night - some will still be there the next day.

I can remember seeing ice on a lake in Canada during summer! ?

I haven't used the frunk extensively but its a good spot for take out since the smaller space causes it to slide around less. I have had no problems with water getting in it. Nor has the temperature been an issue in a sub 3mile trip.

Has someone designed a custom cooler yet for the Frunk?

there are lots of small 12v chest coolers for RVs/camping that would drop right in, and you could wire direct to 12v connection points.

search amazon 'small 12v chest cooler'

I've hauled my laptop bag in there several times. Works great.
