Tesla recently redesigned its front trunk (“frunk”) for newer Model 3 builds, adding a slightly smaller version which it now refers to as ‘beaded basin’, versus the former ‘smooth basin’. Gone are grocery bag hooks in the new design.
The new smaller frunk is the same design as found in the Model Y, leading many to speculate a heat pump may be coming for the smaller sedan, like the one found in Model Y which offers more efficient heating and cooling.

Tesla’s website sells an all-weather cargo mat for Model 3 at $70 USD. When you select ‘Front Trunk’, you can see Tesla indicating both styles of its frunk now, showing images of the beaded basin and smooth basin.
“Note: Please refer to your basin molding to determine compatibility. The front cargo mat is compatible with the smooth basin,” explains the Tesla website. So far, only the smooth basin floor mat is available for purchase.
