Tesla Vehicles Dominate the Trunk and Frunk Markets

We openly admit it, we do enjoy teasing Tesla from time to time. But we also recognize their qualities.

Tesla has established itself as a major player in modern automobiles thanks to its cutting-edge technology. Its powerful batteries, revolutionary software, and supercharger network have set new standards. But beyond this high-tech universe, another reason explains this success. Teslas are cars designed to be practical and suited for everyday life.

Unlike traditional manufacturers, Tesla made the radical choice from the start to produce only electric cars. This strategic positioning allowed it to completely rethink the architecture of its vehicles. While traditional automakers must work with multi-energy platforms designed to accommodate combustion engines, hybrids, and electric motors, Tesla has complete freedom. The constraint of multi-energy platforms is not insignificant; we keep stressing about it. An internal combustion engine and a tank are not located where an electric motor and a battery are. As a result, traditional automakers often have to sacrifice space or compromise on interior layout. Tesla, on the other hand, can maximize available volume thanks to the absence of these limitations.

Let’s take our dear Tesla Model Y. This compact SUV with sleek and elegant lines offers an impressive total cargo space of 2,158 liters with the rear seats folded down, far surpassing models like the Hyundai Ioniq 5 or Chinese brands BYD and Geely. Even the Model 3, a compact three-box sedan, combines a rear trunk, the traditional “Trunk,” with a front “Frunk” (front trunk), for a total of 425 to 649 liters.

This custom design also extends to high-end models. The Model S and Model X outshine their respective competitors thanks to their optimized cargo volumes and modularity. By combining technological innovation with an architecture designed for usability, Tesla has not only attracted enthusiasts of performance but has also convinced drivers seeking practicality and comfort. Clearly, success is never a matter of luck, and journalists can occasionally say something good about Tesla without being threatened…
