We’re seeing more and more automakers continue to add a front trunk to their electric vehicles (EVs). The Tesla community coined the term frunk to describe this space, which takes advantage of the lack of an engine and fewer moving parts to add storage to your car. The frunk has several useful purposes. Here are 5 ways to maximize your Tesla’s frunk space.

1) Food Storage

If you’ve ever grabbed takeout, it’s likely been stored in the backseat and your car was consumed with a food smell for the next few hours. Putting your food in the frunk is a great solution to avoid this scenario. It can surprisingly fit a lot of items, and if something ends up leaking or spilling it’s easy to clean.

If you’re looking to store food efficiently, then Tesloid’s Frunk Cooler Food Bag is the way to go. These bags can be purchased for the Model 3 and Model Y and can help keep your food fresh for hours. Also, they should be able to fit in the Model S and X frunk as well. Here’s what you need to know:

Two Sides for your Cravings: The bag is split into two sides, with the left being thermally insulated for hot or cold perishable food and drinks, and the right being a “pantry side” for everything else.
Quality Craftmanship: Keep your food fresh for hours. The Cooler Food Bag is made with durable fabrics with stuffing to handle maximum load and maintain its shape. It also has lift handles, an aux pocket, and dividers for your convenience.

2) Luggage

In most instances, the front trunk of your Model 3 should be able to fit a carry-on-sized suitcase. When picking up and dropping someone off at the airport, it’s great to be able to clear up space in the trunk for bigger luggage by throwing a carry-on in the frunk.

If you’re interested in maximizing the space without a carry-on, then the Luggage Bags from Tesloid are a great option. Available for both the Model 3 and Model Y, these are perfect for storing shoes, clothes, electronics, and more! Here are the key features:

Custom Made: Tailored to fit every curve and corner of the Model 3 and Y’s Frunk space, to utilize 100% of the available area.
Pair of Two: Each order comes with a pair of two bags. This allows you to split items up for yourself, or if you have a travel buddy then you each get one!
Quality Craftsmanship: Made with durable and high-quality fabrics to handle maximum load. The two bags come with a laptop pocket, dual zippers, and a shoulder pad in case you need to carry them.

Whether it’s an impromptu road trip, or you’re flying somewhere, the Tesloid Luggage Bags are your perfect travel companion.

3) Sports Gear

There are two things that can be annoying when lugging around the gear you need for sports. The first is that it can stink up your car on the drive home after you’ve played, and the second is that it takes up precious space.

That’s where the frunk can come in handy. Personally, after I’m done playing basketball, I always throw my shoes and backpack that carry my ball and clothes all in the front trunk. They fit nicely and I don’t have to worry about dirtying my back seat or my car smelling.

4) Groceries

Whether it’s a small or large grocery trip, having some extra space never hurts. You’ll be able to fit a good number of groceries in the frunk, which will help clear up room in the trunk for whatever you need.

TIP: If you’re bringing groceries to your car without a bag, the frunk is a great place to store some of the messier items. For example, onion bags are always dropping little pieces. If they fall in the frunk, it’ll be easy to clean, and more importantly, you’ve kept your trunk and interior neat.

5) Emergency Gear

Some Tesla owners like to store emergency supplies in their frunk and leave them there at all times. This includes items such as a blanket, flashlight, first-aid kit, rope and more. While these items can be stored anywhere in the car, it’s nice to have them all in one place for easy access.

The Bottom Line

That concludes the guide on 5 ways to maximize your Tesla’s frunk space. As seen above, there are several ways to take advantage of the extra storage. From carrying food or luggage to being a convenient spot to place your groceries, there are plenty of use cases.
