The frunk is the most underrated thing on this car

From the Driver’s Seat · Jul 19, 2026 · Road Trip
Tesla Model Y front trunk filled with ice and canned drinks, used as a cooler on a road trip.
The frunk, doing the job a cooler used to do.

Nobody buys one of these for the trunk under the hood, and then you take one long trip and it's the thing you end up telling people about. I filled it with ice. Not a cooler set down inside it. The frunk itself, ice poured straight in, drinks buried in the middle of it. There's a drain plug in the bottom, so when it all melts it just goes away and you rinse it out. That solves a road trip. No cooler eating a seat, no cooler sliding around in back, no lid to wrestle every time somebody wants a water. Walk up, open the hood, grab a drink. I don't know that Tesla set out to build me an ice chest. I think they gave me a waterproof box with a drain in the bottom, and I did the rest.
