How do you like the frunk size

[batufrommongolia]

everybody sees the frunk size and discuss is heat. Let's do some survey here. I believe there should be some program manager from Tesla in this forum, so you guys can also see how we think.

It's bonus storage space just like @Crissa said. Funny how no one was/is obsessed with the frunks of the Model 3 and Y, and they're even smaller? Yet they suit the needs of their owners just fine!

It's pointless to obsess on one compartment like this, especially when the CT has so much more to offer. Every vehicle will have its strong and weak points, but it's the overall experience and how it fits the needs of the owner that counts.

maybe because this is CT forum?

I saw it some time ago and honestly thought it's plenty big. The lightning frunk is absurd, but Cybertruck will be fine generally speaking. I could see that space being nicely used for cold storage when camping or what not. Otherwise, unless it is indeed motorized - most won't use it to a level that warrants a massive additional.

seems a bit of a false equivalence

on the 3 and Y, those are secondary ‘trunks’ and that they are so small is part of why folks aren’t worked up over their additional utility

as for my take on the overall Frunk situation:

On one hand, it’s hard for people to understand the value of a large Frunk - to a lot of people, it is by no stretch merely ‘bonus’ space to the utility of the vehicle (except by some strange sense of ‘bonus’)

On the other hand, some folks are no doubt overly wound up over the realization that the Frunk won’t be as large as some fanbois had prophesied for the last four years

That resulting disappointment is one of the risks of defining the goalpost of success of every CT feature as being *more* than an F150

that’s a goalpost set more by ego than reason

The CT offers plenty without having to ‘win’ on every discrete dimension

The lighning frunk in mega useful.
all my jobsite tools fit in there, tailgating is game changing, can be made into a bad ass little day bed for camping and most any coaches sports equipment fits in their. Idgaf about golf but two people can hit the links out of it.
vault = lighning with a roll n lock or other tonneau

The lightning frunk is absurd

Absurdly useful and accessible, particularly for the differently-abled

Currently with the Lightning on a week-long beach vacation with the family: me, wife, three young kids in car seats

All of our personal luggage, plus a collapsible crib, fit in the Lightning Frunk. (The sub-Frunk otherwise full with jumper battery, cordage, air pump, patch kit, trailer hitch, etc.)

In the bed were ice chests, beach gear, etc.

The differently abled can easily load, access, and unload the frunk. Items in the bed, on the other hand, don’t present a casual operation for either my petite wife or young kids. Same would go for elderly, and many other types of differently abled folks.

The CT’s strengths can speak for themselves; and plenty of good arguments for why the Ct having a smaller Frunk shouldn’t be a big deal for many.

but what’s not a very persuasive line of argument is that the CT has a smaller Frunk because a bigger one isn’t useful

Has anyone else on this thread ever grocery shopped in a truck. You either put the groceries in the back seat or hope for the best as they slide around in the bed. I use a net some times to keep them close to the tailgate, but I was excited for a larger frunk to make the Costco trips easy…

Too small but since 90% people complained it fitting in a small garage this is what we got.

I have owned a 2013 and a 2017 Honda Ridgeline and the in-bed trunk was awesome for things like groceries, golf bags (without woods), tools and gun/ammo bags. I understand the Cybertruck frunk was never going to be the size of the lightning's but I was hoping for the wide but narrow frunk to store these type of things without using the vault. Its a lot easier to keep these things in a place that it can live and not be in the way for when you need to use the vault.

I don't understand why people would want to store bags of concrete in the frunk. The vault is for this type of cargo. I am looking for the frunk to have outlets and possibly a compressed air port.

I had an R1T for about 6 months and I used the powered frunk a lot. As long as there is a button around the bumper on CT, it will be used. The barrier to use my Model 3 frunk is that I need to pull my phone out or use the main screen. Power close frunk is not needed on CT but I want the hood to fully open by the press of the button around the bumper or a foot wave like my wife's MDX tailgate.

that’s just a matter of the frunk being easier to load/unload heavy objects, compared to the truck bed

If a person picked up 10 bags of quickcrete at Home Depot, the frunk makes for a good spot - can just hose it out afterwards if you’re precious

 

[greggertruck]

It's less of a difference than people think. I'm sticking to it.

I've said it all along but it's wider, the mouth is more open, it's just not protruding back light the Lightning. It's a pretty small difference.

Just wait.

This has to be said: 'GOLDILOCKS'
Frunk IS not too BIG, not too small, not too HOT, and definitely not too COLD ROLLED STEEL(!)

I throw them in the back seat of the F150. When I take the Model 3, I can throw a few bags in the frunk. Knowing the M3 frunk, I think I could throw nearly a full week's worth of groceries in this CT frunk based on what I've seen. Not as big as the Lightning frunk, but much more useable than the frunk in any ICE truck, and big enough to be very usable. If you were only buying the CT for a mega frunk, buy the Lightning, I guess.

Here in Oz, we generally live without 'gun/ammo bags'
My life goes on without 'golf bags'
