It is now called a "Frunk"

[Yevi]

I noticed in the order guide that "Front Trunk" was changed to "Frunk".

This is not a new term. Personally, the word sounds a little wrong, but that seems to be sticking.

My question: Is "Frunk" a North American term? What is it called in other areas? (Does the UK call it the F-Boot?)

Clearly, the correct term is "Froot".

Which is good as I put produce in there when shopping (fruit)

I think the term became popular with Tesla, that's why it's sticking now.

This officially changed with the announcement of 2022 models. I agree with other sentiments that they are just jumping on the Tesla-popular bandwagon. Also second nature to me now to call it a frunk.

I'm pretty sure the 911 guys have been calling them "frunks" long before Tesla was making cars.

Yes, but you’ll never ever have to access those terminals….
