    If it fits and has no possibility to move around (or brake up), there is no risk, especially when one use those nice latches for useless plastic cover. But, there are other potential problems: fire (thermal) safety and pedestrian (collision) safety. First -- during charging or hot weather the measured temperatures under the hood reach even over 50°C, so one should use a frunk which is thermal resistant enough. Second -- it is a possibilty that the empty space under the hood is neccessary as a crush zone when pedestrian's head hits a hood. Maybe, but nor really for sure, as everyone who saw NCAP crash tests films know, that during those events head hits rather windscreen or the hood's edge than the center. But, the last apprehension -- what about potentially breaching of warranty conditions and responsibility in case of accident?

  3. This is extremely tempting, but without a good easy way to secure it and not rely on the hood, I'd be worried about it all the time.
     
  4. It was tight and snug. No chance of it moving,... in any direction.
