Would you give up your Frunk for more range?

I don't need more range. Even when I'm driving long distance, I can't go more than a few hours without having the stop, get out, and stretch my legs. What I need is more high-speed chargers, and a faster charging speed (800V architecture?).

Heck NO - you'll have to pry that Frunk from my cold, dead grip

For my current use case, no. It's fine the way it is.

But if I did a lot of towing, and/or high speed highway road trips, then yes I would be waiting for a truck with a range extender (and therefore probably no frunk).

Everything is a compromise. The current Lightning setup is fantastic for daily driving and utility, but has major limitations for long range towing. An ICE range extender would solve that completely. Whether that compromise is worth giving up the frunk really depends how important range is to your specific use case.

Nope. Golf clubs and a push cart locked up tight all summer while driving a pick up doing pickup things at the same time worth giving up? Never.

l trust that future engineers will sort out mega power frunk + more range + efficiency solution = new truck FTW (For The Win…to save you a google search).

I was watching the video by @Cbowe and it got me to thinking about having the Frunk versus an ICE vehicle that has an engine.
Just curious if people would be willing to give up the Frunk for an extra battery pack that would give you more range?

I'd give up the FRUNK for more battery!
