Frunk? Am I the only one who had no idea this was a word?
Front trunk
I think Tesla popularized it
Vw beetle.
In a beetle, it was just called Kofferraum.
And it was actually useful:
That’s more useful than the actual trunk on my 2004 Beetle
I meant that Tesla recently popularized the term “Frunk” and made it more widespread with EV buyers.
I don’t want to take anything away from Beetles and 911s.
I do not understand how you got to an EV community without knowing what a frunk is
I’m pretty sure it’s related to a FUPA.
No but for real, just call it a bonnet like in the old days you cock wombles. We already had a word for this, and frunk is worse.
Bonnet and frunk are not the same thing, though. In the same way that trunk lid and trunk are not the same thing.
Bonnet bay? Bonnet storage? Idk but frunk ain’t it.
we can call it a bronk
Yeah, much better. Bronkin’
Sup bronko
The UK calls this ‘froot’.
Gewd jerb, UK.
Tesla was the first to say it and they didn’t trademark it. It works so everyone else adopted the term.
Nah, vw beetle.
I don’t think VW ever called it a frunk. I would believe you if you insist they did it can provide any evidence. Tesla want the first to put storage up there, but they did coin “frunk”.
I suppose people were calling it a frunk even if vw didnt.
Same for rear engined Porsche and MR2 vehicles.
