  • Improperly closing your Tesla Model 3 front trunk can cause damage to your hood. Many Model 3 owners use one hand to close their frunk because they have items in their hands when taking things out. If you don't close your front trunk properly you could end up rippling or denting your Tesla Model 3 hood. You don't want that! This is the proper way to close your Model 3 frunk according to the Tesla manual.

    Thank you! I now feel confident to use this, as before I was afraid I would dent the frunk by pressing on it.

    The wonder car that drives all by itself but you will need be certified in CPR to close the frunk.

    My only retort is that when you push down on the logo with one hand, it takes very little force to close it. cant imagine that little bit of force would harm anything. ty

    Other than being an expensive fix, a power trunk is the way to go. For me, worth every penny. Do your homework on the brands if you go down this route. Lots of videos comparing the two main suppliers.

    With all the tech on this car, you shouldn't need to read a manual to learn how to close the front trunk. Next thing you know, you need to learn how to close the window.

      I agree they couldn't probably address this somehow, but I think it's related to the thin hood they chose to keep weight down. It's all about efficiency with the design, but this seems to be where that idea sacrifices the ability to easily close the hood.

      Yes, it does. Check your manual on page 19, they'll show where you should place your hands.

      How long have you owned it and do you notice any damage? I've only used 1 hand because I don't want to put what I'm holding on the ground. I think it's meant for 300+pound guy leaning on the latch. So far it fine

      Because it's aluminum. Not steel. That thing is super light, you'd have to really slam on it to close.

    Just replace the tension spring that pushes the frunk upwards for that first one-and-a-half inch with a slightly weaker spring. Problem solved (for 2 euros).

Also its hands free delivery right now, but they will also answer and help you if you need it so you could have asked just most want to grab it and take off.
