Owner-Measured Frunk Shape
The Highland frunk is a shallow molded bin, not a square box, so check rigid items against the narrowest dimensions. TeslaNorth reported German showroom measurements from a 2024-style Highland: 72 cm wide, 35 cm deep, and 23 cm high.

Weight Cap and Practical Packing
Tesla's updated cargo guidance, reported from the owner manual in 2023 across Model S, Model 3, Model X, and Model Y, raises the front-trunk load cap to 110 lb / 50 kg. Treat that as a limit, not a target; split heavy tools or dense liquids between front and rear storage.
| Load example for 2024+ Model 3 Highland frunk | Typical weight | Fit note |
|---|---|---|
| Mobile connector, adapter pouch, gloves, and small towel | Under 15 lb / under 7 kg | Fits easily in the 88 L EU-market Highland frunk volume. |
| Two medium grocery bags or one insulated food bag | Usually 10-30 lb / 5-14 kg | Soft bags work better than rigid boxes against the 72 cm x 35 cm owner-measured footprint. |
| Compact roadside kit with inflator and first-aid pouch | Usually 5-20 lb / 2-9 kg | Keep sharp tools in a pouch so they do not rub the plastic frunk tub. |
| Maximum Tesla front-trunk guidance | 110 lb / 50 kg | Do not exceed the updated manual figure; distribute dense cargo between the car's storage areas. |
Frequently Asked Questions
How big is the 2024+ Model 3 Highland frunk?
EV Database lists the 2024+ Model 3 Highland front cargo volume at 88 L, or about 3.1 cu ft, for EU-market Long Range AWD, Long Range RWD, and Performance trims. Owner measurements from a German Highland showroom car put the usable shape at roughly 72 cm wide, 35 cm deep, and 23 cm high.
What is the Model 3 Highland frunk weight limit?
Tesla's updated owner-manual cargo guidance, reported across Model S, Model 3, Model X, and Model Y, lists a front-trunk limit of 110 lb / 50 kg. That is far more than normal frunk use requires. For Highland owners, the safer habit is to keep dense items low, padded, and split with rear cargo space.
Did the Highland frunk change from the older Model 3?
Yes, but the change is modest. The same Germany showroom measurement report lists the older Model 3 frunk at 71 cm wide, 38 cm deep, and 20 cm high. Highland was measured at 72 cm wide, 35 cm deep, and 23 cm high, so it is slightly wider and taller but a little shorter front-to-back.
Will Legacy Model 3 frunk organizers fit Highland?
Some soft organizers will fit because the overall volume remains about 3.1 cu ft / 88 L, but rigid trays can be risky. Highland's measured shape changes from the older Model 3 by about 1 cm in width, 3 cm in depth, and 3 cm in height, so check 2024+ Highland fitment language before buying.
What should I keep in the Highland frunk?
The Highland frunk is best for items you want separated from passengers or luggage: charging adapters, gloves, a tire inflator, first-aid supplies, takeout, muddy shoes, or a compact emergency kit. Stay within Tesla's 110 lb / 50 kg front-trunk guidance and avoid loose sharp tools that can scratch the molded tub.
