In the summer of 2018 my wife had a basilar aneurysm hemorrhage which was utterly terrifying. During my time in the hospital I developed #Frunkpuppy as a way to cope with the trauma. Dogs + EVs! My wife pulled through and frunkpuppy has continued since that point.
@Model3Owners put Nutmeg in the frunk which really boosted visibility. In October 2018 @mayemusk put her pup in the frunk and #frunkpuppyfriday was solidified as a great Twitter activity.
Since that point various animals have been put in Frunks. Cows. Goats. Snakes. Rabbits. Hamsters. Turtles. Cats. Various EVs have participated most notably @bollingermotors and @LucidMotors making their own pics
In 2019 we raised thousands to help kids with disabilities receive seeing eye dogs. We also raised money for charity with the wonderful @Manic_Marge from time to time.
Today @elonmusk put his pup Floki in the frunk and this makes me so happy. Thanks Elon! Thanks to the frunkpuppy board and thanks to all the wacky people who have participated in frunkpuppy over the years!

1/9 I took my first extended road trip with the #ModelX and the family from Ohio to the Smokey Mountains. For the entire trip (no effort to conserve range - speeding, AC, mountains, heavy rain etc etc) I got about 90% of my range for a round trip of over 800 miles. (Maxed at 352)
2/9 Nav on AP did almost all of the driving and was solid. At one point I was driving and my wife asked me to turn Autopilot back on. This is a great endorsement of the tech … or maybe lack of confidence in my driving. Arriving at the destination refreshed is invaluable.
3/9 The #ModelX effortlessly goes up and down mountains. Dual motor / regen etc. fantastic. No lack of power. Felt very stable. Loved this.
