Tesla was the first to say it and they didn't trademark it. It works so everyone else adopted the term.
Nah, vw beetle.
I don't think VW ever called it a frunk. I would believe you if you insist they did it can provide any evidence. Tesla want the first to put storage up there, but they did coin "frunk".
I suppose people were calling it a frunk even if vw didnt.
Same for rear engined Porsche and MR2 vehicles.
